I just bought this for my wife for mothers day whos been wanting to start a side hustle. After seeing this video im sold. Thank you for the info. I got this video saved!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
Best roly mk2 video I have seen out of all of them on youtube! Great job!!
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Thanks, This was a Very helpful.
That's pretty nice, I had to fully assemble mine. Nice to see they are coming assembled. The build quality is excellent
Yeah I had to assemble the first one as well. This was a much nicer experience but a larger box for sure!
This is very informative. I am going to buy an mk2 very soon and am watching several of these reviews. Thanks for addressing all the minutia of the machine and for including the links.
You are welcome. Thank you!
Thank you for the great review. I'm researching for an upgrade to my old AtomStack.
You’re welcome. Hope it gave you some insight to a nice machine.
Agree with your assessment. I love my Roly, just bought the kit to upgrade to 20w!
Thanks. It is a pretty impressive machine.
The second half of my new Roly Mk2 in 10/30W is on the way. They shipped two of the same box of components but it may have been rectified. Great video that makes me much more comfortable with my buying decision.
Hope you like it!
I'm saving for it.
Well worth it.
Thanks for the great video! What is the max depth it could cut for wood and for metal? Thanks!
It would depend on the laser power you have. Thing is that most lasers can cut through thicker woods but it's all dependent on the type of wood, whether its plywood or solid, hard or soft wood. It all comes down to the number of passes that you need. Obviously the higher the power the less the passes. My guess would be around 18-20mm for the 20W laser but honestly you might be able to go deeper. Metal is another story. While you probably could cut around 0.1mm of metal it wouldn't be very clean and would probably warp it pretty good because of the heat.
How do you put the camera to line up the image
If you need super accuracy, you can use the camera for rough placement and then frame if needed.
How well does this unit cut colored acrylic? If it does well, I'll buy one right now. Thanks.
I haven’t tested this one specifically with acrylic but as long as it’s not transparent or specific colors it should work. I think it usually would have issues with blue I think but again I haven’t tested it.
When using the camera you need to to an alignment test for each thickness of wood and save them… 1/8-1/4 etc.
You are correct. I should have done that as well.
Correct! I made profiles for each thickness of material I commonly use. I routinely get placement accuracy in the 1mm range using only the camera.
How many passes did it take to cut through the 3mm wood at 100%?
3mm is pretty simple with just one pass.
I’m trying to decide between this and the XTool s1 20w. I know you get more for the price with the MK but not sure if it would be a better buy or not..
Unless 3D engraving, conveyor engraving/cutting, and good wifi is important to you, I would go with the Roly.
Hey I know you did this 2 years ago but I wanted to know if u know why after putting that gcode into the cura for the k7 easythreed printer why won’t it let me print the model
It's been quite a while since I have messed with that machine. I would suggest checking out to see if there is a Facebook group associated with it that might give you a group that gives you more troubleshooting help.
Enclosed lasers are just way too pricey for me, so I'm thinking of getting a separate high-power laser along with a protective enclosure. The ACMER P2 is super affordable, and I'm seriously considering it. By the way, do you have any plans to review it?
I don't have any current plans to review that machine. I'm honestly trying to focus on machines that either come enclosed or have a good way to enclose them as I see if as a crucial component of these machines after working with them for years now.
Is this dual ( Diode + Ir ) Laser all in one ?
Hello. This particular machine is only a diode laser machine, not an infrared laser. The switch is to choose between different laser powers only.
Hey I know you did this 2 years ago but I wanted to know if u know why after putting that gcode into the cura for the k7 easythreed printer why won’t it let me print the model
Would you consider this machine over the Xtool S1, I'm getting one of them
They both have their strengths and it’s really up to your needs. The S1 has the 3D engraving and possible conveyor for longer jobs. If none of that matters to you I would go with this Roly. It’s super accurate, easy to use and a great build.
Roly is supposed to be coming out with a 40 watt with a bigger work area, I might just wait for that, thanks
@@djs7515 I haven't heard of the larger work area but I do remember the talk of a 40W laser module a while back. This one does come in a 30W and I don't see mention of the 40W on the website anymore but I suppose it's possible.
I don't think it's a LaserMATIC "10" Mk2, it's just LaserMATIC Mk2. The "LaserMATIC 10 "is the 10 watt version. The "LaserMATIC Mk2" is the 20 watt version.
You are correct. After all of the stuff I was paying close attention to I overlooked one of the most obvious things. I fixed it where I can and thanks for the correction. MK2 really just stands for Mark II or the second version of the machine. I have a Buster Beagle 3D MK2 Injection molding machine as well. The MK2 on this machine still applies to the 10, 20, and 30W versions.
How much
As shown it’s about $1300. If you get it without the rotary or lower power it goes down to about $900.
How's the customer service if something is wrong with the machine?
It's a small company and I have personally talked to the owner a few times. They even have a system where you can set up an appointment to receive assistance with the machine so I would say customer service is better then most I have seen.
Thank you for your reply.
Have to say it is a finely crafted machines. Don’t think it is the best laser of 2023, that goes to the xTool S1. Given the real nice build quality, it should have an autofocus Z. Seems that there is a select group of people on TH-cam that have reviewed it, and all say the same things. Just makes me wonder why other channels haven’t reviewed it.
