- This is the best desktop laser in 2021! The Ortur Laser Master 2 PRO blew me away and it's Better Than the Ortur Laser Master 2 I reviewed a couple months ago! It could be the fastested desktop laser in 2021 as well with their claimed speeds! This is a quick video to show you the features and a couple quick tests I did. But I am loving this laser!!

A couple things to note.. I just double checked and it does say CM on the measurements, not inches. I misspoke on that. Also, as far as the stepper motors, when filming I didn't realize that the one on the X Axis was moved from the laser head mount to the side of the laser. I definitely missed that and thought they added a stepper on the right side. But in reality, they moved it there. Thanks for pointing that out. I should have caught that.
Honest mistake from an honest reviewer.
@@randymulhern1290 Thanks!
I wish they'd added the dual y stepper. A little more mass on the gantry, but eliminates one source of banding. Modders add a second y-axis to the Laser Master 2, I sell a kit as well as an upgraded control board laserupgrades.com.
sculfun s9 has entered the chat ..........
What about xtool d1
Thanks for your help. I want to start this as a hobby and people like you & Sam is realy helping me. Thanks, and keep up the good work.
You are awesome!! Learning so much from you!
You videos are super helpful and explained in depth, I have the short focus ortur pro and wish you would do an acrylic etching video as so far I have not had any positive results. Keep teaching !
Great Video Jim . I'm trying a DIY Project on something similar. I can't afford to buy this at this time. But it looks Awesome. Keep up the Great Work.
Thanks!
Hey, Jim, great video. Have you found a good air assist unit that will work with the Pro?
Interesting video.
In another review was a problem with power loss. Maybe due to a dirty lens. Did you encounter any problems? The design with the orange laser shield seems, in my opinion, prone to keeping smoke from burning or cutting near the lens for more time than without shield.
Good review. I might try that if I ever get bored with 3D
You probably would love it! It's addicting! haha
One thing is the power light is very hard to see. I left mine on by accident once while I ran to the store, not firing, just on. When I got back for some reason the light was flashing and alarm beeping loudly. Odd since there was no fire. Maybe it got used to being in the dark and then I opened my garage door and let the UV in.
I bet it was on in the dark, then the lights turned on and it triggered it. Do you have the newest firmware? V1.55 I think
Hi!! Thank you for the great videos. I just bought a laser engraver machine and I am learning a lot watching what you do. What are your thoughts on the Atom stack A5 pro? Thanks
That's great! I hope you love it! I have one and I'm testing on it now :-)
@@TheEdgeofTech Hope we can see a video on it soon ;)
I used the gold scratch paper for a lion head on my glowforge. Thanks for the great videos
That's a great idea! How did it turn out? Thanks for watching!
@@TheEdgeofTech it turned out great.
Awesome!!!
Could you tell us what settings you used on the scratch paper, or what tests you do on it? Thanks.
Awesome review. You should review the atomstack A5 pro.
I have one and I am on it! :) Thanks for watching!
Something I would like to see is some test done with laser paint pcb's that could be a good use for making quick pcbs. Id be interested to see how small of pad and traces that could be done on something like this. You probably could trial this with a piece of metal that had been polished up and painted.
Great idea!
Nice review of the unit. When can we expect a test with the aclaimed 10000mm/min?
Yes, very soon!! Thanks for watching!
I know this is off topic but have you heard anything about engraving tile using a zinc based paint called cold galvanizing compound.
Great video. Where did you get the lion head picture? I have the same printer. Could you share your lightburn file? Thanks!
Just found your channel after researching so much about this laser. What safety glasses would you recommend for these? Maybe any Amazon links? Just want to make sure I’m safe 🤘🏼 thanks! Also, just bought one because of your video. Would love to see a build of an enclosure for this laser if you’re looking for another video idea. Thanks!
Since it's a blue light you want to make sure you can block out the color. So red or green glasses are recommended make sure when you buy them to test fire at .25% and see if it shines through if it doesn't your golden if it does. I'd reconsider
It looks like there are 2 sub models of the pro available. The SF and LF laser. Would you say the SF is the best way to go for most things?
How do you know which between the short focus and long focus options is right for you?
Have you tried the Sculpfun S9? I have narrowed my choices between the Orturo and the S9. I would really appreciate your opinion.
I haven't tried it yet. One thing I would check out is the community behind them. The Ortur has a large community behind it and that really helps!
JIM! You rock broski I love your diode videos! Makes me want to get a diode for my channel SOON! Let's connect some time man!
Looking at getting one of these bad boys. Followed your link to buy one....notice it comes in 3 plug types, Im in the UK so would I be able to get the EU plug and use an adapter? Would it affect the performance of the laser at all?
To be honest I'm not sure, and I would hate for you to get one and hurt the laser if you plugged it in. Maybe reach out to the support group and ask them there. There's a really good one on Facebook
bonjour, avez vous les parametres sous lightburn pour faire fonctionner correctement le laser ? j'ai regardé la video sur l'ajout de lasermaster2 sous lighburn et c'est ok j'arrive a graver du bois sans probleme, par contre tout ce qui est metal anodisé ou peint, ça ne donne rien............. peut etre un mauvais reglage lightburn ???
what was your settings for the scratch paper? I am having trouble to dial mine in without burning the shinny off.
I would grab a scrap piece and play around with the settings. Create a small rectangle in LightBurn, choose the "Fill" option and burn it. Then burn it again with slightly changed settings. Do this until you get the look you want. With the Pro you could start at something like 5000mm/min and 20% power and see how that looks. Then change the power over and over until you dial it in. Let me know if that helps.
Did you have a problem with the rollers on the X axis going flat?
I purchased one of those z-axis from alliexpress, installed it and let it sit about a month. When I fired it up to burn something, the wheels were so flat that the x-axis could not move, it was locked in place.
It turns out those plastic wheels are too soft to hold all the weight that comes with one of those z-axis.
But, yeah, it's a lot easier to focus than doing some hincky adjustments than the OEM z-axis that some of the cheep one's come with.
No issues like that yet. Thanks for watching!
Do they make one with a larger burn area? I need about 20 inches
Hi there. I literally just purchased this and received it Saturday. I'm also new to laser things. I've started a free trial for lightburn as apparently it's more user friendly (I'm used to a cricut) and was wondering if you could tell me the best (rough estimate) on what settings to use to cut acrylic that has the brown paper covering?
How long from when you ordered it to receive it and was it standard shipping or did you express it?
@@coenlyte5287 it was only like 5 business days and I bought it directly from the ortur tech website. I've had it a little over 3 weeks and of course I'm still learning new things but so far it's working out okay. However, it only cuts black acrylic. Dummy me didn't realize that before I bought it. But still works for what I want to use it for
@@melt20181 is it worth the money ?
What do you use for the clear coat?
I'm looking to buy a desktop laser soon and have seen reviews on XTool and Atomstack as well as this one. Just wondering if you have any comments on those as well. I am leaning towards the Atomstack.
Also how long to the diodes last on average. It's hard to tell from these websites that sell them.
I have the new Atomstack and will be doing a live stream this week probably! Can't speak to the xtool.
@@TheEdgeofTech Cool it would be nice to know what the specs are on the life of the diodes. Thanks for the reply can't wait to check it out.
Interesting video. I liked the examples. When you do a more in depth review, please show it working. I'd be interested in seeing it engrave at different power/speed settings. I'm also interested in seeing how long it takes to complete various tasks. 10Kmm/s is only 5.56ips. Seems like it will take a long time to complete a task, especially if it can't reach it's claimed max speed, or needs multiple passes. Also, your transition sound is incredibly annoying.
Do you have just the 2 pro? I see there is also a SF and LF.
Anyone have experience on the SF vs the LF. Seems like the LF would be more versatile since it can cut thicker material. Just add air assist to keep the blackening around the cut lines down maybe? Really want one, but not sure which laser to get! Thanks for the review!
I'm wondering the same, it's says it's better suited to cutting but on the Amazon listing it says both the SF and LF cut "4mm plywood and 8mm pine"
Does it work on any sheet metal or aluminum?
I've seen people use the metal spacer for laser distance to both the bottom of the laser and the bottom of the housing, which is correct?
I believe the housing is correct. I have seen both ways too, but when focusing the other lasers, it's always to the housing. So that's what I did.
Just to clarify, if you look on their page here: ortur.net/products/laser-master-2-pro is says that the focal distance is 50mm "from the heatsink to the object". So that would tell me that it should be measured from the heatsink, not the bottom of the lens.
@@TheEdgeofTech I read that also but like you I've seen both. From the heat sink to the material is really close. So close that it changes my dot to a small line which I've also heard is OK. From the bottom of the lens to the material gives that small dot. I guess the only way to figure this out is to burn with both and see which looks better ;)
Rest assured the flame detection works...too well. Sometimes when you are cutting right in front of the sensor the machine will stop. Overall this machine is awesome. The second motor you are talking about does not drive the gantry. It drives the laser head. There is still only one motor that drives the gantry.
Thanks for sharing! I am going to do some testing with it too! Did you upgrade to the newest firmware?
@@TheEdgeofTech no I did not. I've had mine for about three weeks now. Believe it or not I was able to cut through a piece of 3/8" plywood. I cut from one side and then flipped it and cut from the other side. The print and cut feature in LightBurn will help you line things up to cut the other side. I always enjoy your videos. By the way, Ed with URHC channel just asked me about if I had ever tried using scratch paper. I never heard of it and now here you are showing it off.
@@krisknowlton5935 You may have the newest version already! You gotta try the scratch paper!
what about the xtool D1..?
I am just venturing into the laser engraving world. I want to be able to engrave on cutting and charcuterie boards. Do you still recommend this unit for someone like me?
It would definitely work for that! Not as fast as a CO2 laser, but it will definitely work and does a good job.
@@TheEdgeofTech Thanks for the reply.
Could you check out the Neje 40 watt
Yes!
Mine did not come with the Z adjust. I have to turn 2 thumb screws on either side and manually slide it up and down, then tighten the screws again.
I think you can get it as an upgrade from them, or I know people are making them aftermarket too.
Couldn't find the testing in your description.
I am not sure what you mean?
@@TheEdgeofTech links to Nikki Norton tests in desc missing ?
everytime I hear "link in the description" I can not find the link
Nikki Norton test links in description ?
I will add them now! Thanks for catching that!
Did you purchase this or was it given to you by Ortur?
This was actually provided by ZBanx to make a video. To be honest, I would purchase this one in a heartbeat too!
Got one a couple of weeks ago, not happy with it at all. The machine kept quitting jobs on moderately fast speeds, only when dialed down to 300mm did it finish one pass - 10000mm my a**.
And that fire detector keeps going off randomly, even when the laser is shut off, no job running.
I assume all those safety features that convinced me to buy this model are way too sensitive =(
How did you update the firmware and where can I find it.
I'm sorry to hear that. I would definitely check the firmware. You can get it here: ortur.tech/latest-firmware/?fbclid=IwAR1g2Fy-LAMxeMr8qgdCYLWKNFB0QbBExUJG8GK9PWDYe6HxN7Yvzfel-A4 and look for the one that says Pro. Ignore the date. The version should be 1.55 I believe.
is it worth £500 price tag ? was going to order ortur master 2 20w then i seen this review
Depending on how much the LM2 20W goes for out there, this is a much better version of that! Both are great machines, but this one is much more safe.
I like it👍👍🇳🇱
Me too!! Thanks for watching!
What is the power rating of the laser?
Hey Chris! You can find all the specs here: ortur.net/products/laser-master-2-pro
Just upgraded my master 2 20w to the pro 20w laser and it's worse in tests! Also this machine is full of issues fire detection goes off when no fire failing burns the groups are full of issues on the pro :( love your channel but please say it how it is really not just because you got sent a freebie.
Have you contacted our customer service staff, we will answer your every question seriously.
Really good video, but, you don't need the distracting background music....
8:05 its really just one for X and another for the Y
Yes, I missed that they moved the one from the laser head over, and thought they added one. I should have caught that.
Too bad there's no air assist. That'd really top this off.
did u even compare with neje???
In this video I'm talking about the overall machine and features. But I do plan on grabbing a Neje laser to compare the diodes!
@@TheEdgeofTech oh good!
well i bought one on your recommendation and its c**p. it homes ok then if you move it anywhere it starts flashing its orange light at you to tell you there is a fire and the klaxon. cant actually get the laser to work because of the none existant fire that seems to be raging away. you have an advantage as yours is a freebie and you get tech support like no other or it goes on your review
Hey Richard! I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have the latest firmware on it? Also, if you go to the Facebook group and ask Gil, he will get you sorted out! He is their support and is awesome!
Interesting.
But I DON'T like Lasers. I think they are dangerous.
I totally understand. They are very dangerous! You have to be very careful when using them. But when used properly, they can be a very awesome tool!
What’s the setting for the color scratch paper?
