Seeing your workshop brings back happy memories of summers spent in the Swedish countryside near Arlanda. I love these old buildings filled old tools passed down through the years and it’s nice to see that you are continuing in the tradition. Jätte bra!
only slightly related, but I managed to get my money back for my Ender 3 pro by selling stuff and making parts. You can definitely make money with these hobbyist machines, but it can take a couple months to get ROI, but by the end you will have a decent side hustle that you might want to continue. If your really into laser engraving(or 3D printing or any other maker hobby) you cant really go wrong.
Don’t worry about it your sales dude, you ve got what it takes, creative minds with high curiosity and always up for some workshop action always eventually find a way, and your glasses case is really nice btw. Special award for the funny moment with your wife 😂😂 best makers video are when humour isn’t left on the side 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Your strategy is wrong if your waiting for orders, not many people go wow I need a glasses case as when you buy glasses they come with a free case. Make what you see sells in your local area. When you get items that demand exceeds the amount you made, prioritize that item and contact the rest who missed out and ask if they are willing to wait and you will make to order for them. I have noticed customized wallets sells well as does custom picture frames and end grain chefs blocks. That's how you build reputation and get new bespoke orders until your side hustle becomes your main hustle.
Very cool! I'm a bit curious about the ventilation though. I do not have a well ventilated space to run a laser in. Good enclosures seems to cost a bit.
I haven't tried them out, but I know there are cheaper enclosures with air filtration from Comgrow. Somehow the fumes need to be filtered or the laser run outside, or in a workshop where you can open the doors. Especially when cutting it creates a lot of fumes.
Super cool video! I am looking for a new laser engraver as I engrave wood as a hobby that is slowly turning into a real business... I was wondering if this laser automatically calculates the space to engrave or if you have to do all these steps manually. The thing is, I have gone wrong with my current laser and having my engravings slightly off center, which is SO frustrating.... Even a visual of where the image will come would be a huge added bonus.... I also, mainly, engrave in wood, in your opinion, would this laser be the one to get or is there another version that would also suit my needs? Maybe a less expensive one? I am liking the multiple objects you can engrave with this version very much and I'm even thinking of expanding my business to other materials next to wood... Long story short, I really liked your video, you come across as an honest guy who is not getting paid to sell this machine. So am hoping I can get your feedback on the questions I have. I'd like to thank you in advance for reading my message. Have an amazing day! Regards, Rose
Hi, enjoyed that very much…….seems a great machine. Why do you only sell in Sweden? I mean at least your local Scandi would be easy?? On the cases I do like them it’s just that only one colour?? More options and ‘bespoke’ would should upmarket? Finally, they appear a little bulky, any where you could slim them down even a little? Could ask a small premium for one or the other? Good fortune Bob England PS you wife(?) seems great!? If she believes a two week pay back, she’s a keeper! Lol
you can help me choose which one I have to buy laser engraver that engraves and is more precise, I don't care about the cut but the engraving between which to choose ATOMSTACK S10 PRO 50W or Atomstack X7 Pro 50W or laser SCULPFUN S10 thanks
Hi! Your tips are sensational. Congratulations! I really liked the model of the case for glasses. Could you make the file of this case available? I'm from Brazil. Thanks.
no, for that you would need a fiber laser. A diode laser only engraves softer materials. In some instances you can mark metal with a diode laser but it wont actually engrave it.
Absolutely works but you cannot stop the edges being chared, also you then have the tedious task of removing the masking paper, it normally comes off easily from the smooth side of veg tan but is a pain to remove from the rough side, a honeycomb base helps as soot deposits on the back are significantly reduced if not cutting on a solid surface
Great video which I really enjoyed. I hit the LIKE button and subscribed. I have a question. I live in New England just south of Boston MA. My workshop is out in the yard in a nice building that I converted into a shop. Naturally I have electricity but the only heat in the shop is from my wood stove. Now, in the Winter we tend to get some pretty cold days and nights. Naturally during that time when I'm out there I fire up the wood stove and it makes things really comfortable. However, when I'm not there, the inside of the shop gets very cold! So, what I'm wondering is, will this laser cutter/engraver be harmed by cold temperatures? I hope not because I'd really like to get one but I've got to make sure first. If you or anyone reading this knows the answer, I'd be grateful. Thanks!
It looks really promising. I would love to try it out. Having those interchangeable units is really cool, but they should work on the connector for those maning it easier to swap them out.
I just ordered it , i currently have the x7pro and may also jump up from this point . I have been mostly burning white and black painted tiles , time to branch out a bit .
hey brother I want to buy this same machine but I went online and there are too many atomstack websites and I don't know which one to trust can u tell me the one where you purchased your atomstack laser.
Diode lasts longer. About 20k -30k hours. You need to service CO² lasers more often. With diodes you get acceptable results but to the cost of time, it will probably stay as a hobby. With CO² lasers this is another story. You will get your cut or engraved products faster but the machines are pretty expensive, big, complex and heavy. Perfect for dedicated profit based workshops. Efficiency for Diode is about 25-50% and for CO² its about 15-20%. Diodes are maxed out at somewhere 60Watts (50W or less is more often). CO² lasers...well you can weld with some of those if you catch my drift here (nonetheless wiki says 80KW).
Interesting idea with only 2 week to earn your money back. I just pushed the button on a 3018-Pro. Maybe I'll try to earn my money back on that in two weeks. Great video as always Pierre.
Te invitaria una cerveza amigo ya sabes como son las esposas jajaja así es la mía pero sabes mi presupuesto no están grande solo me alcanza para el atomstack x7
'Wear glasses' Realize that the only glasses remotely effective are $1500 glass lenses. The typical cheap plastic glasses won't remotely stop enough energy to make you eye safe on a direct strike or reflection. Cheap and easy to get a good camera, and an extra monitor. Truly block the system, and do your watching through the video link. Then you're actually eye safe. Don't take my word for it, do your own calculations on how little energy it takes to burn dots into your retina, how much energy is in these laser beams, and that the pass energy on cheap glasses is way, way too much to stop eye damage from Watt range lasers. Don't get me wrong it's some help and will cut the extra scattered parts of a beam etc and better than nothing, but it is not nearly the protection people think it is, it's like 1/100th of what you need to stop the main beam. The high power diode laser is extremely strong, even a tiny pass percentage is still well above eye damage power levels. Just be aware you're risking slowly degrading vision if you're not operating through a video link. Same idea as welding flash over time, you'll wake up one morning later on and wish you had taken correct steps to protect your vision.
Hey Man your hot. I know I say I love your videos but I really loved this one The barn is fantastic for filming and more importantly your content presentation and personality make the videos fun educational and entertaining If I can make a video that’s half as good I will be a happy boy you are my gold standard Keep them comming
How do you to pay ppl 80 bugs for a leather case? I also sell handmade stuff like cut and polished gem stone pendulums, mirrors with wooden engraved frames, copper athames and stuff... People don't pay sh!t for hand crafted things but the cheap garbage from China goes through the roof 😭
Considering the stitching takes me one hour per case and the leather is high quality I dont think so. If you are comparing it to chinese made amazon-crap. Then you are right. This leather case will outlast me. Rather than buying and selling crap I think it is better to buy one case that you can use your entire life. Dont you?
@@TheSwedishMaker I'm comparing it to my own products. Cutting it with a laser doesn't make it worth 80 bucks you overrate the worth of your time. A simple object like this is simply not worth 80 dollars no matter the quality or your time. Get sewing faster .
@@stephencaparelli7733 you are both wrong, they are worth more than $20 but $80 is on the steep side, however if you have enough customers willing to pay that then thats the market rate in Sweden. Stephen is write about your stitching speed, 15 mins tops for that
Better not to buy from them directly. I bought X7, rotary, and extension kit. Had a few issues, the packaging arrived damaged, and cables were outside & damaged. and they did not bother to put an outer box. The order value was €975, but was charged €1027.36 I wasn't happy with the way it arrived, asked them to make a return. For 4-5 weeks they were trying to negotiate with €20 refund for the damaged item. Then stopped responding to emails. As per EU law, the right to return. Return policy should be clear, they are interested in honoring law or EU standards.
I don’t want to sound petty, but 14 $80 sunglass cases won’t make back your money: the leather isn’t free, your TIME isn’t free. Lovely cases, though. Good luck.
Had one for 2 weeks that I purchased for my son and returned, (I myself have a 60W MOPA Fiber and a 100W CO2, so..no new to laser here), if you understand the words SLOW and UNDERPOWERED...you will stay away from this expensive "toy" no much of difference from a 10W Power (just the fact that they try to manipulate the power saying in the ads that the machine is a 130W power (but the diodes are 4x5W =20W) tells that they try to mislead the new buyers with minimum understand on how machine power and laser power works...my only guess, the machines giving to youtubers must be "special ones". Waiting for my refund now
You've spammed this comment in a couple of different videos. Its called advertisement, but if you read the details they always state the optical power of the laser. When looking for CO2 laser they don't advertise the CO2 tube must be replaced approx. 5000 hrs ranging from $300-2600 depending on the size. Anyway i seen and know people with these diode lasers that have no issues, yes there slower and under powered when compared to a CO2 laser, but they are much cheaper and in my opinion are more of a multipurpose machine when compared to a CO2 laser.

Great review! I love your in depth explanations. I have an X20 Pro and I am hoping I see the comparison with the Sculpfun S10
Can this be used to cut, engrave acrylic sheets 10 mm
Hey!, Does the holes for the stiching was made from the laser, or it was just a marking and you had to punch them later on?
It was made using the laser. Theres some charring in the holes so I ran a thread through all holes just to clean it up a bit

@@TheSwedishMaker I see they’re $100 different in price
@@wittworks yes they are and the air assist is another $139 for the Xtool one since it's included with the Atomstack.
Where you recomend to sell.
Is the x20 pro good for laser engraving on metals such as steel?
no, for that you would need a fiber laser. A diode laser only engraves softer materials. In some instances you can mark metal with a diode laser but it wont actually engrave it.
Got to get Myself one of these!! Have the atomstack A5 Pro but time again to upgrade!! Great video and hello from the UK.....
Hi Uk! Thanks for watching
What if you stuck a piece of Transfer tape on the leather like the large sheets that are like masking tape, might help with the charring?
That does work yes. Maybe not as good as the air assist alone, but still it does work.
Absolutely works but you cannot stop the edges being chared, also you then have the tedious task of removing the masking paper, it normally comes off easily from the smooth side of veg tan but is a pain to remove from the rough side, a honeycomb base helps as soot deposits on the back are significantly reduced if not cutting on a solid surface
