I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for the watch!

Appreciate that and thank you for the watch.

Thank you!

Of course

Thank you!

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching.

Of course, I love all of your videos

I don’t believe there was any type of adjustment for it in that regard. I notice that they are less sharp when I’m not auto focused on my material but once I lower the depth to the right height it’s good. That may be some sort of ticket with ikier unfortunately.

Thank you! I appreciate the watch!

Hey Eric. Appreciate the watch. So far so good with some minor issues. The red alignment laser was askew which I made a video about how to fix it. I had a screw fall out of the Z axis a few weeks ago. Beyond that the only thing I’ve noticed that is annoying is my home position is often a mm or two out after powering off from the time before making my grid off. I’m thinking I might need to tension a belt for that though. Just haven’t gotten around to it. One thing to note if you use the red alignment laser the usable area will be 410x360 to use it properly. The screen is useless as I only use lightburn and the magnets on it suck. Lastly the fast setting can be a little rough with fine details, the medium setting is very nice but I was never able to get any feedback from ikier what settings to put in lightburn to get a proper preview time. When I do medium I typically add about 25% to the time. All in all would I buy it again? Probably. It cuts very nice, engravings have been good as well on wood and slate. Can do a slate 4inch tile in about 3 minutes. I did see a Neje Max 4 last night that has peaked my interest. Wider footprint, 80w output (do like the idea of the combo on the ikier though), and still a motorized Z axis which i like. Not sure if it has autofocus though which is awesome on the ikier.

How much have you used it would you say? They do need some maintenance after some use like cleaning the lens as they get dirty.

Hey there. Thanks for the watch. When you attach the laser to the Z carriage you did have to leave space from the bottom or it did mention that the autofocus would have issues. I think it was about an inch or so.

This was the 5.5w. If you’re running the 10w I’d start with double the speed, and double again for the 20w as a start. Tweak it from there.

@@757woodworks i just got the D1 pro 10w and i can not get white like yours , its coming out like a golden colour and slowly wishing i never got it now as my 5w seems to be much better

@@robertdavison2650 have you done a power test? I think the golden color is running too hot if I remember correctly. I have a 36w machine now and I can still get the white with it.

@@757woodworks i trying to do power test but someone said i need to change setting in it but i cn not find a good video on it to explian properly

Ah ok. If you’ve got a few tiles that you can waste id try starting with my settings and then adjust from there if you can’t figure out the power test. There is a very good xtool owners group on Facebook. They can probably lend an ear towards settings for slate and help with a power test as well.

Oh man I’m sorry to hear that. The Max wasn’t out yet when I did this but I’m surprised they changed the feet. :/

It’s ok. There are still holes in the frame, they are just smaller.

Doing the laser offset you do lose about 55mm of usable space. You can do a low power burn from the actual laser as well. I do .25 on the 36w when I need to do that way.

@@757woodworks Can the laser be activated permanently? There was always a laser dot on the neje a40640. Thanks for your quick answer :)

@@miuix4795 the red dot is always on. Unsure how to disable that short of unplugging it if you didn’t want to use it. If you go for the .25 burn that is only on during framing. You do that to turn that on in the settings for LightBurn though.

Thank you for the watch. I don’t sell them unfortunately but I did make the file free. I know a lot of libraries around me have printers these days. If you can’t find something local there are services like shapeways that could do it as well.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the watch.

Yeah I am

Hey there. Unfortunately I’m not selling them but the file is free. A lot of libraries have 3d printers these days. Possibly check there or one of the 3d printing services online.

Hey. It would rock slightly when I moved so it caused lines to not be crisp. Grabbing it and giving it a slight tug in each direction will definitely show you if it’s loose at all.

Once you get everything sorted it really is a good machine

Thank you for the watch!

You’ve got about an inch of clearance to get a screw and a screw driver in there. Plus I can take mine off and move it and place it right back.

@@757woodworks It wasn’t too bad. I always use MDF the the piece to fit inside of the legs so it can be raised or lowered. I’ll wait until I install the Extended Rails.

Hey. I would post on Facebook with a screenshot in a Lightburn forum or one of your machines forums. It sounds like you’re hitting an end stop though possibly or you’re going too big vs your area.

Once I got it aligned it’s been absolutely amazing for setting up my burns

Not anymore unfortunately. I searched honeycomb pins on google and had to scale them up and down multiple times to get them fitting well in my particular honeycomb.

I’m sorry to hear that. It should be available in 1080p quality. May want to check your settings?

Sorry for my comment. Ya I forgot check the settings….

Glad you got it fixed though. Appreciate the watch.

Hey Gene. Haven’t had anyone test it yet and tell me but it does appear like it would. I’d have to look at the hole spacing on the fusion file but I think it was like 50mm from center on the two holes. And yeah from Hampton Roads. Appreciate the watch.

@@757woodworks , that’s cool, I’m out here in Hampton Roads too. Keep up the good work!

The frame is pretty wide. Definitely could’ve bumped out a tab but would’ve been a much longer print. Appreciate the idea though as it would make them reusable as right now it’s a one and done since I glued them to the board. May revisit that down the road whenever I replace the spoilboard.

No worries its always great to get input - even if it is not always the best (LOL) I am just getting ready to order my iKier Laser 24w module...@@757woodworks

They’re almost identical. I believe the frame is exactly the same. The only thing different I believe is the shroud on the laser head.

Appreciate the tip. Still learning myself.

Unfortunately I don’t have an A20 to model off of so I probably wouldn’t be able to make that work I don’t think. I will say if you wanted to try it the basic steps to make this in fusion were very simple and I’d definitely consider myself an amateur in fusion.

Yeah I had a couple of minor issues but it’s working like a champ now. And I’ve heard stories about anything running on the M1 and M2. Definitely worried about that whenever I upgrade.

Yeah mine only had the one in stock. If they would’ve had another one my jointer would’ve been off the floor lol.

I saw those covers as well. With my machine being in my shop I plan on doing them soon to help minimize sawdust in it. As for any issues, I did have some quality control issues with the machine which were easy to fix. I do notice after the burn is done it is important to home the machine or it’ll crash into its side rails if I start another burn without doing that. Thank you for the watch!

Yeah I don’t know why the Mac has such an issue directly connecting. The hub seems to be the solution for it from what most people have said. Appreciate the view and the subscribe!

@@757woodworks ..yes, the Mac is somehow always neglected and I have already exchanged a few emails with iKier this week about this connection problem. The support sent me a lot of drivers, but none of them brought anything, so I also tried this variant and lo and behold, it works. We don't want more, although it would be nice to have this connection immediately without a hub. - New accessories are available for these alignments on the iKiers site, which seem to be quite ok

I had some issues too unfortunately. Had to reinstall the drivers several times. I never did get the usb C to work. Ended up using a usb C hub so I could use the regular usb plug.

@@757woodworks which drivers do you install and which hub do you use? I had the same problem. At the moment it works only with my mac from mid 2012. thx and greetz from germany

I'm not at home atm but I used the drivers that were on the usb drive. I believe they were the CH341 drivers. I did have to reinstall it several times in addition to the hub. The hub I'm using is the Sabrent 9 in 1 USB C Hub. I haven't used any of the other ports besides the one USB A port so can't say much on it's performance other than it works for the ikier. Here is the link - amzn.to/3PFWTxQ

That’s awesome. I’ve got a few more coming so keep an eye out. Appreciate the view.

I appreciate that. Glad it was helpful.

Not a problem. Appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Hey thanks for watching. The air assist was from Etsy. Little expensive but way nicer than the 3d printed ones. Here’s the link. www.etsy.com/listing/952903198/ultimate-air-assist-brass-nozzle-for?ref=yr_purchases

@@757woodworks thanks!

For my 5w output laser I use 4000mm per minute speed and 75% power. I’ve never done shells before. That sounds interesting. It may be difficult to do those with the changes in height though. Wish you the best.

@@757woodworks thanks. I heard that in your voiceover., wasn’t sure if there was more to it. I’ll give it a shot next week and let you know.

Hey Oscar. There is no preparation on these. If you coat them with anything the condensation will bead off them instead absorbing. Some people wipe with mineral oil to clean beforehand or spray poly for a shine afterwards. Thanks for watching, hope the rest was helpful.

Hey there. First and foremost thanks for watching. I did not make the brass air assist. I purchased it off of Etsy from HannahJakubCreations. It was a little over $50 US but it’s phenomenal and imo worth every penny. I was running a 3d printed one for awhile and there is a vast difference between the two.

I hear about people upgrading the lens to a g8 on there laser. Do you know if it is possible with your? I have the same one.

I have not looked into that unfortunately. Sorry

Sure. I’d have some questions but send me an email at jharris1984@gmail.com and we can discuss it further.

It was not. That is fresh right out of the package. I did see on a video from Samcraft that he uses Acetone to clean them but I didn’t find that necessary. Appreciate the view!

Appreciate it Brian! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you! Appreciate the view!
