got to be honest your attention to detail is incredible! from one geeky laser nerd to another. I salute you .. time to trade in my S9. that S30 pro max is on another level..
That was a very informative video comparing these 2 especially the automatic air pump. Thanks for that, because I have been wondering whether I should get one.
Understanding diode and focusing lense technology concepts along with manufacturing tolerances, I believe the focus spot size could very quite a bit between two machines of same brand and model. Making a comparison imprecise using only one from each brand. Remember these are Chinese made and affordable, so quality control likely takes a hit. I bet a lot of you have experienced these quality control issues with other things and understand the nature of the game. However this was a very informative and useful demonstration of the two and gives us a real world example of the two. Just remember "your results may vary" Thanks!
Offline operation is a huge plus! When the unit is mounted in a location away from the design computer, sneaker netting a file to the laser makes life a lot simpler.
Those are 2 good machines but S30 haven't got the most essential for me :a touch screen with SD card reader that X20 got, putting files on SD card and engraving outside or in the garage is better for smell and smoke ( and eventually for house fire ...) However, X20 haven't got a large size extension option (480x850) as the S30 (905x935) and seems to be a little under the S30
Thank you for a very great and helpful video! Would be interesting to see a comparison between the atomstack x30 and the Sculpfun S30 Ultra, which are both latest 33Watts lasers.
The cutting test can be manipulated by adjusting the air flow. If you release the air less, then the number of passes will increase. If you use it to the maximum, then they will decrease by cutting this way faster! Connected to an external compressor, I cut 8mm mdf with X20 in 7 passes with 95% power and 300mm/min. It came out slightly burnt on the edge. With 100% power, the number of passes would change.
Me encanto tu video y las pruebas bastante precisas, lo mejor es que no apoyaste a ninguna solo hiciste las pruebas y es decisión de los clientes decidir, excelente! Saludos
If the Sculpfun S30 Pro is a clear winner in this case. Can you please make a video comparing it to the Xtool D1 Pro 20w. We are all wondering if the Xtool machine is worth the extra money or if the Sculpfun is better than the Xtool and is better quality for price. Or maybe could you just tell us which machine you think is better to buy? The Xtool D1 Pro 20w or the Sculpfun S30 Pro Max 20w?
@@JTMakesIt I'm also interested in seeing the direct comparison of the D1 Pro and S30 Pro Max. It seems like D1 is far superior in terms of mechanical precision. What S30 is great at is smaller focus size (0.15x0.10 vs 0.15x0.15) and better focus length. Is that about it? To me, mechanical precision is much more important, given that the focusing mechanism of the D1 allows for half-thickness adjustment, etc.
Hello, I would like to know how I can access the electrical diagram of the laser board connected to the diodes because some components have burned and I want to replace them. my model is the S20 Atomstack
Thank you very much, great video very detailed and technical, I would like to know if the test file you see in the video can be downloaded. A thousand thanks
Hi Bro, How is the performance of these machines to cut and engrave clear and other types of Acrilic (without painting it black). We know that black Acrilic can be cut easily but how about cutting and engraving other colours?
Red, green, yellow works well, but they need more power or more passes for the same effect. Blue does not work well as it is the same color as the laser beam.
The protective lens is a neat feature. I wish all laser module adapted this as a laser module lenses can be easily be damage and brick easily than expected. Anyway do you have any plan to cover the NEJE E40 Laser module? It will be an interesting comparison to the Sculpfun since it's claim to have a thinner and longer focus size. It's also have this weird temperature module adapter and air tube which is pretty interesting to check out.
Hola tengo atomstack a 20 y tengo problemas con corte de mdf y contrachapado de 9 mm ya que el corte no lo hace bien o no lo hace cual es el problema que tengo para el corte agradesco tu respeuesta
Obviously the sculpfun is the better machine but I was looking for stats and the Atom Stack comes out better on webpage and when I was having problems with my current Atomstack P7 they had a very good customer service how is the Sculpin customer service?
@@JTMakesIt what if i can get a s9 pro from a friend for 250 though? Is the s10 that much better? or could i get by with the s9? again I wanna do some cutting and burning for sure. Appreciate your quick response!
@@JTMakesIt Thank you. But I meant a concise list of all the lasers you've tested so far. Received the Jinsoku LC-40 with the compresses laser last week and am quite disappointed. they promise 0.05*0.08 but I'm getting closer to 0.12*0.30.
@@rsorez329Not yet, I got busy with other things and had to forget about lasers for a while, I forgot I wanted a laser engraver. Now I'm already choosing a less powerful laser, a 10 watt module will do. The choice is between the Sculpfun S10 and the recently released Atomstack A10 V2, very nice and neat, but there are no reviews or delivery to my country yet.
Another great video made by you helped me choose between the X20 and the S30 pro max. Do you know which one I chose? I am delighted to watch all your movies. Regards from Poland Artur
All machines I have tested so far have a larger focus spot than advertised. This is why I test this :) i think it could also vary from the machine to the machine.
Very impressive video. This comparison video help a lot for me to decide which one I really want to go for. Not too many people out there are making video like this so thanks gor all the efforts. Two thumbs up.
Very good informative video. Despite that Think that I'm going to wait for next gen, I think speeds are too low for 10mm thickness, I need semi pro speeds.😀
15mm plywood is too thick. This plywood has too many layers of glue and can't be cut reliably. To cut it in one pass, you will need 10 times more expensive machine.
@@adrianz8728 no. It will get very charred and you will need 20+ passes. Check the review of the XTool D1 Pro 20W where I tried cutting 18mm Poplar plywood which is the easiest wood to laser cut. And it didn't work.

many greetings from Germany. I have not yet been able to decide which of those two devices I should order. You have made my decision easier. 🙂

thanks for your great video...how to try a Hogardeco honeycomb laser bed ?
these machines are getting crazy
The development escalated very quickly in the last year!
.........THANKs .......what is the best and cheapest way for cutting Steel with 5mm?
There is no cheap way of cutting steel. Laser like this will cost 10k-50k
Just the comparison I was looking for. I am curious about the metal color marking comparison.
The cutting test can be manipulated by adjusting the air flow. If you release the air less, then the number of passes will increase. If you use it to the maximum, then they will decrease by cutting this way faster!

I use full air assist power for cutting tests. The flow depends on the pump
I will buy THIS ONE. Only for the lense

Hi, can I cut transparent ,gold or other color acrylic with this machine ?
Transparent and white definitely not. Blue also not very well. I have tested green, red, yellow and black with good results.
A brilliant video and this has helped me decide on the S30 Pro Max. Can you recommend a cost-effective base for a laser this powerful?
Do you mean a honeycomb? Otherwise you put the laser on the table. It comes with a steel sheet for protecting the table.
@@JTMakesIt Thanks. I couldn't tell if it had a base with it or not.

The Atomstack claims to have the laser spot of 0.08*0.1mm on their website instead of 0.2*0.15 in this video. Did they updated the machine recently?

You should decide for yourself depending on what you want to do with it and what you saw in this video :)
I can't stand videos that use text to speech for all the voice work! 👎
You never know the author's reasons for using it. Some people have speech difficulties, or don't like the sound of their own voice, or maybe don't like having to record multiple takes to fix mistakes. Over time, the text to speech voices will continue to improve.
How about mounting a laser cutter machine on the wall and try to make it work with a raspberry pi just like a 3d printer 😉
Good idea, but you are missing one axis :)
