Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Today, I will review this AtomStack A5 Pro Plus laser engraver. It’s pretty much like a standard desktop engraver: the working area is 410x400mm, and it comes with a 5W laser module with a compressed spot that uses multiple lenses to compress the laser dot, which is supposed to be slightly better than a standard 5W module as it claimed to easily cut 10mm wood. Generally, a 5W laser module is not that good for cutting, but we will test it out and see if it can do that. If you need a larger working area, it also has an optional extension kit that extends the Y-axis to 850mm. The price of this machine is $360 without the extension kit. I would like to thank AtomStack for sending me this machine to review.

Great job! I have been looking into getting a starter laser set up but wasn't sure which to buy until I came across your video. Thanks for your help and keep the videos coming. Take care.
Always been a big fan of your review. Concise, engaging, easy to follow and very visual.
With love from a tiny nation called Brunei ♡
Very good review using various speeds, power and materials. You were clear and straight to the point. Thank you.
This young lady is an extremely good presenter and very capable in getting to the heart of these machines.
Fantastic video, thanks! I noticed the Lightburn settings in the version you filmed have mm/minute, but the newest version of the software has mm/second. Once I figured that out, this saved me a lot of time in testing settings.
Of all the tutorials I've watched this is by far the best and most detailed. Thanks a lot
Spent 2 hours trying to set this up, had it running 20 minutes after finding this video! Thank you!
Fantastic review - it was very helpful not only in understanding the tool's capabilities, but also how to get started with using lightburn, as a completely novice user.
You made it look easy. I'm having a lot of trouble getting mine to work. I sure would love your input and help 😢
This is by far the best review chanel in TH-cam. I love your work. Thank you for its very good content
Aurora and Helios are real professionals
You have got a good head, really organized, thanks for sharing all of these great insights with us all.
Very well made review, very thorough and well described/presented. Thanks alot 😀
I love that they've started to send you stuff to review!
Thank you for such an informed review, you’re a great presenter too!
Interesting video as always
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍
Best review I saw of the Laser Atomstack pro +
Great product review. Interesting, informative and well presented. Thanks 👍
Amazing video thank you so much I got everything I need I hope you keep up the good work :)
This was the best video, thank you SO MUCH for the clarity! I hope your life is heavenly from this contribution to 🌎
Great video, and this seems like a very nice laser!
Great review as always. Full of information, very well researched. 10mm cutting depth, very tempting. Just never leave those lasers alone, they can easily start a fire. And yes, wear those glasses. Even the reflection of the beam can harm. Keep it up.
Thanks once again guys. Wish you could do tutorials how to use the machines.. Step by step.... For example my 3018 cnc... And now also this atomstack a5 pro
Pretty awesome review and suggestions 👌specially de diff price on the longer rail.
DIY laser tent? Genius! Why didn't I think of that?
Great video. Thanks as always
Great presentation. Well done
got one yesterday. a great video that explains the basics. question: the vertical lines on the golden gate bridge - is that just the best you can get with laser engraving then ? no way to not get those ?
Could you please list all the settings and what they would be good for. I’m new to this and to this laser as well so I’m having you explain the settings to me is very helpful
Thank you for another great video! I just set up my A5 Pro+ and installed LightBurn. However, my "Laser on when Framing" doesn't work, did you have to make another changes for this feature?
Disregard, I found it! On my Move window, there was a laser power setting, that was at zero.
Hey Aurora, loved this video, I happen to have it and the standard pro, my question isn't directly related to this video, the plate holder file is set for 4mm wood, all I have at the moment is 5.2mm, can you make the adjustment for me? I'm not familiar with the cad software to do that, already tried agghh lol. Thanks for all you and Helios do.
What is the plate holder file? Can you send me the link to download it so I can take a look?
This video had so much clear information I’m gonna try. I keep seeing people say not to use the laser at 100%, but that’s all you used. What are your thoughts?
I wonder about this too.I don't know why a company(Atomstack) would go to all the expense to develop and sell a product like this,which seems to work well,but provide zero information on operating it.Makes no sense at all
Hola.
Llegara un momento en el que ya no haya maquinas nuevas para hacerles " reviews " . No me entiendan mal , no lo digo con mala fe , de hecho veo todos sus videos es tan solo una opinión. Seria divertido ver mas modificaciones tipo Ender 5 Corexy.
Saludos.
Hey Aurora I have the Atomstack A5 and only can cut 3mm MDF with 90% F300mm and around 20 passes. If i go any slower it catches fire or leave nasty marks
Any ideas how can I improve the process or if I'm doing anything wrong
Could you please help me!!! I love your videos you explain slowly. I have a ikier 24w laser auto focus all set up. I need really child like exsplain me how to set my part zero. Absolute or current position? When I ran a mill I’d use my edge finder side of vice or part g54 x0 y0 or
Whatever. I haven’t messed with CNC for 11 years so I’m confused about light burn first off I could right some code and I’d have this thing running days ago. So please step by step simply how to setup my part using light burn and auto focus. Thank you in advance once I understand that I’ve got it.
I just purchased this to cut and engrave little leather tags for my knit hats...will this machine work for that? Or is there a better one for around the same price? The logo is very small that needs to be engraved.
Hi, can you recommend me a good machine? A machine cut that I can work with is good and how long is their lifespan?
How is this compared to the xtool? Can I use the xtool rotary machine with this?
สวัสดี ผลิตภัณฑ์นี้ถูกตัดเป็นอย่างไรบ้าง ดีไหม ฉันสามารถทำธุรกิจกับมันได้ตลอดเวลา
How do you make that grd and how do you "frame" the material?
Thanks for the video. I wound up buying one after watching. Can you tell us where we can find the test files you use? Thank you.
Disregard. I figured out how to make these tests with Light Burn. Thanks
I ordered one today!
I can't seem to Cut tru 3mm plywood. I've used different wood types, settings, focus and all.
wow that nice
I’d love for you to smile and laugh more.👍
How do I atain gold plated metal sheets ?
hi can you adjust the height to engrave watermelon!.
Great review, but you cannot stress enough how important safety is, you can only engrave your eyes once
What safety glasses do you wear while using this laser engraver?
I just use one that came with the machine; I am using it with a laser tent which should provide another layer of protection.
Hello! I can’t seem to connect atomstack a5 pro to light burn it keeps saying laser isn’t plugged in but it is can anyone help?
❤️❤️❤️
👍🏻👍🏻
you can get rid of the banding when engraving images by using 4000mm/m
What is the maximum speed in mm a minute
Would you get this or the comgrow z1?
If you want to do cuttings on thicker wood(up to 8-10mm), get a 10W laser, if mainly for engraving or cutting thinner wood(2-3mm), a 5W should be good enough.
Isnt it recommended to never use 100% power?
I got the Pro it seems, not the Pro+. Still 5w laser. However, to even cut through the 2mm sample bit of plywood that came with it, I need to go 100mm/m at 100% ? Nothing like the results you got. Same with engraving - at 6000mm/m 100% you can barely see anything - it needs 1000mm/m. ?
THE LENS ON THIS P.O.S. IS NOT REPLACEABLE.
WHEN THE LENS CRACKS (AND IT WILL!)
YOU'RE SCREWED.
I bought one and I'm not getting Lightburn to find my Atomstack A5 PRO +, I tried several drives and it didn't work, could you help me?
Please try LaserGRBL,, if it can connect to this machine, the motherboard should be fine, if LaserGRBL also can't find it, you need to contact AtomStack to replace the motherboard.
@@AuroraTech the lasergbrl works fine but for me it's very limited to work. I would like to use in lightburn
In this case, the hardware should be fine. I can't use LightBurn to find the machine, but I can manually add a GRBL engraver just like how I did in the video.
Sade, güzel, faydalı ve anlaşılır video için çok teşekkür ederim gerektiğinde sizden yardım alabilir miyim ? Güzel günler dilerim
I can't get mines to cut birch plywood. 1/4 inch
I have the Atomstack A5 and only can cut 3mm MDF with 90% F300mm and around 20 passes. If i go any slower it catches fire or leave nasty marks
I can't cut even 3mm plywood 😒
In 100% power and 150mm speed with 4 passes...
For me this film is like a commercial of atomstack...
great video,and you are so so so so cute! omg
👍🖒👍 @Aurora
I would like to see engraving in a cylinder shape
just got mine won't even cut though 5mm plywood 100% power at spd 100
it's funny because my atomstack a5 pro+ can cut 3mm plywood after 3 passes with air assist 250mpm 100% power and it's not the cleanest cut but it's decent for a 100% results 4 passes
won't cut solid wood 10mm
Atomstack A5 pro+sucks, the laser head is off balanced and tips to an angle and there’s no adjustment for it
❤❤❤
