@@ARSHADPATHAN-ym4je what kind of material?
Aluminium or stainless steel
Amazing review! Thank you very much for your good work!
Thank you so much for choosing Sculpfun!!!🥰
I love the steel "waste" plate! The idea of holding the materials like paper and leather down with just a few high-power magnets, very cool!
Thanks! Its cheap and it works!
Thank you very much for the information, was really helpful.
Great work JT !
Best Ideas for Use of Laser Cutting Machines !!
Some awesome ideas here, i'll definitely be taking some inspiration!
Hello. I was looking for information on the Internet on the Sculpfun S9 laser. You did very good materials that helped me choose to buy Sculpfun S9. Thank you very much. Greetings from Poland. Arthur
excellent laser that cuts even thick materials, thanks to the narrow focal point, certainly the best for value for money
Great job again 👍🏼
Thanks for watching! You are awesome!
I've got an S6 and while I absolutely love it, I find the horizontal cut to be significantly wider than the vertical. Im considering buying the S9 module. Looks significantly better
Sehr gut Herr T.
The little box case very nice.
Glad I seen this video, I was gonna order a different one
Thanks for sharing all of these very accurate tests. I'm trying to start with a decent price-quality device. The grayscale test says a lot about how good this equipment is compared to other devices.
Does the roller system for cans or glasses fit on this tool?
The Sculpfun is the best for engraving. Very fine spot and great details.
There will soon be a roller system from Sculpfun. But I think Atomstack one should also work.
Thank you very much for your great review, has ordered the S9 from Banggood with you coupon you provided.
Thank you!
@@JTMakesIt Sorry that i might have to cancel the order from Banggood, order placed after 3 weeks, Banggood keeps extending the shipping date everyday.
@@alancheng7952 demand is high for the S9, this is why shipping is delayed.
So dope I dident know it can cut. To. Not just wood burn or engrave
very nice video, keep up the good work :)
Watched this video 3 times. Still love some of the 'Things'. Thanks
Thank you!
👏🏾👏🏾Congratulations, perfect job, I'm setting up a craft shop, this machine will help us a lot.
Gained one more subscriber.🤝🏾🇧🇷
Awesome thanks!
Outstanding info. tutorial!! I’ve been looking into an engraver for quite some time. I’m just having a hard time choosing between a laser vs “spindle”. I need some flexibility as well as ability to engrave on metal..
TY for the great input!
You're welcome!
Hello I wanted to ask what software program you use and with what settings you cut acrylic because it doesn't work for me. Thank you!
Awesome video and chanel, thanks!
Thanks! You are awesome too :)
Thanks for all information dude 👍 I'm your subscriber now🤝😍
Awesome!
Tip, if you poly, or poly stain your wood first, then laser etch and cut, you are able to remove the burn halos using alcohol and a cloth... It's also easier to brush poly the entire wood before it's cut or etched. Then you can still use the spray after the cleanup for a final coat...
That sounds like a good tip. Do you have a recomendation for the type of poly to use? I've just ordered the S9 and really looking forward to start using it.
@@tlwestre any poly will do...
Sorry guys, but what is "poly"?
@@asa100 polyurethane coating, like a finisher
I’d recommend water based Polyurethane (Ie: polycrilic) because it doesn’t yellow like oil based. Just make sure you stir and don’t shake because you will introduce a ton of micro bubbles in the finish. I also don’t like foam brushes for the same reason.
Absolutely brilliant machine and I love the boxes, can you tell me if you could engrave on clear acrylic with this machine?
You can, but you need to paint the surface black to make it work. But you can use watercolors which can be removed easily after engraving.
You don't need spraypaint to engrave into Stainless Steel, but it does help sometimes. I've found certain stainless engraves really well without paint, while others don't- I think thickness and exact composition of the metal is what makes the difference.
So funny, btw, your works are so nice!
Thanks!
Have you tried cutting clear acrylics? Or the colored transparent ones?
Great review, and one of the few I can find. Do you recommend this laser over the Ortur Master 2 Pro?
If you want more cutting power then choose S9. Ortur has better mechanics, but weaker laser.
Hello, JT!
Your videos are very good, your approach on this subject is great, I was in doubt which laser to buy, but my doubt was solved, I'm going to buy the Sculpfun S9, I'm a hobbyist.
Keep producing good videos, you gained another subscriber on your channel!
Please, JT, what are the measurements of these magnets you use?
Stay tuned!
Thanks!!!
Thanks you are awesome! I mostly use 3mm thick round neodymium magnets with 20mm diameter. These are strong enough for straightening the bent 3mm plywood. But I also have some smaller 10mm round and 2mm tall ones which are good for thinner stuff like paper
Great examples of projects! Do you share the lightburn design files for these? I only found the test file on the blog post. I was wondering about speeds and settings for engraving and cutting the tear-off ticket project
Hi, on my website I have an article with more descriptions next to each project found in this video. For some designs I also posted the vector files. I didn't attach lightburn files for everything, because you need to adjust all the settings according to the material you use. But if you really want the lightburn file for the ticket, send me an email and I will sent it to you. I think everyrhing was done with 600mm/min. 100% power for cutting (1 pass) and about 40% power for text and photo engraving. Perforation was done by enabling perforation mode for one layer in Lightburn
Sir your video very good..very happy when watch your video.If have questions can I ask you sir s9?
Two questions. First, can you or do you post your test file. Yours is the best I have seen. Second, I see that the laser is expandable if you buy extended aluminum rails. But, what belts does it take and where could you get them? I would assume you would need new belts to make it bigger. Thanks!
I have made a form so everyone could download the test file here: hobbylasercutters.com/download-test-files/
As for the extension I have just asked the manufacturer how this works and where to get parts and I will let you know soon.
I have asked the manufacturer and they said they will soon be selling the extension components for this machine
Thanks for the video!
Did you cut plywood in jsut one pass? What speed (mm/s)?
No I used multiple passes at 600mm/min. You can see how this machine performs for cutting here: hobbylasercutters.com/sculpfun-s9/
Super machine 👽👍
Thanks for the great video reviews and your website. I decided on the new S9 based off your videos. I ordered using your code, saved me $50! So excited to try this thing out!
Cool! Thanks and happy engraving :)
Hey! First, thanks for the amazing video!
Second, what SW do you use with your laser engraver? I use LaserRGBL, but it seems a bit limited...
Hi! Thanks! I use Lightburn. It is very good and saves a lot of time. You can try it out with a 30 day free and fully featued trial.
Hello it's just unbelievable. Where can I found this machine
@@invictus7882 There is a link in the video description
What's the best balsa wood size ( thickness ) for making small n scale buildings with?
Verry good👍👍👍🇳🇱
Greats from Holland
Hey, great content. What is the cutting surface material that you use ? I can´t quite tell. Is it just a steel plate ?
Thanks! Its a regular 2mm thick mild steel plate
Laser engraver ❤️
Wow, saludos desde MEXICO 🇲🇽 quiero construir una máquina laser como esa, de que potencial es el láser? Cuales son sus características? Me ayudarías mucho con esa información 😁 así podría hacer un negocio que tengo en mente
You will find all the necessary info in the video description.
Very informative and helpful video.
The following questions from a technical point of view:
1) is the Laser Module 90w replaceable if it is defective? if so, where do you get these laser modules?
2) can you also operate a 60w laser module with an S9? or is the electronics (CNC control board) designed accordingly? maybe this question has already been asked in this chat ...
3) same question as 1) for the CNC control board?
Thank you for your effort and a lot of work
Hi, the module is easily replacable and upgradable. It takes a less than a minute to remove the head. The s6 and s9 heads are interchangable and so are the driver boards. Mechanically the are also the same.
The replacement/upgrade heads will probably be listed on banggood. But the life span of the head should be very long.
@@JTMakesIt Super cool and thanks for the quick reply! i will order this device with your proposed coupon and i will be very happy to use your advice!
I discovered that one side can be extended. do you maybe also know how big this is offered?
I am happy to watch your well-structured and well-thought-out lectures again and again.
Likewise, I plan the housing like you did in the other video's. Do you have may be plans or a list of components for this?
It's just a lot of fun to be here !!
@@gdinternationalpmjr3338 Thank you for watching! It is a pleasure working long hours and producing videos that people like you excited and happy :)
I do not know about the extension, but on their site they say that that aluminum profile is standard and I guess you can extend it as long as you like. You would just need to purchase longer belts and cabling would also need to be extended. Maybe they will sell extension kit in the future. But this laser as it is is still very big.
As for the ventilation box, I do not have plans and component lists because I built it from the parts I had at hand. I think it is not the best design, but its the best for the materials I had available :) In some of the first videos with laser box I have a link in the description where you can find some more photos with some basic dimensions.
Thanks for being awesome and enjoying my videos :)
Hi, Some update! Now you can get replacement laser head for S9 here:
hobbylasercutters.com/go/sculpfun-s9-head/
They also have replacement head for S6 and S6 Pro. The heads fit on most laser machines - Atomstack, Ortur, Eleksmaker...
@@JTMakesIt Thank you for your great info and for thinking of me!
I will definitely buy this set including the whole machine. I started planning the electronic controls for the fans and sensor detectors for the housing. It will probably be a few more days until the real thing from Sculpfun S9 is there!
Subscribed! I’m engraving everything!
Awesome! 🔥
Hey That's a great video and very helpful but I have a question
What is that black sheet under the machine ?
And where can I buy them ?
That is a regular 2mm thick mild steel plate I ordered at a local metalworking shop. It is great because you can fix things with magnets. But with the machine you get a small steel plate as well which is good for a start.
@@JTMakesIt thank you so much ♥
Amazing video and machine, good performance and really affordable ! would it be easy to install an air assist ? let us know if you find a nice system ! Thanks for sharing your experience !
Thanks! I will be making an air assist for this laser soon and I will also do some tests to see how it improves performance
@@JTMakesIt be cell I’m
Could you show us how good the sculpfun s9 is at cutting gaskets in different thickness gasket material?
I could try, but gasket material is very different for each application.
Great video man!!! Can you tell me what specs did you use cutting the leather? I mean the speed, power and passes. Thanks!
Thanks! Check the video description for an article on my website. You will find all information there including the Lightburn files
I followed the link to the plans for the Flex Box with living hinge & round corners. I don't think the plan at that link is the one you made in the video. I would really like to make your #2 project.
Hello, thank you for your video. Could you tell me how long it took to cut the bottom of the clock (3) and in how many passes. Thank you for your answer
Thanks for watching! I don't remember exactly, but 600mm/min and 6 passes took 45min approximately. It would cut it in way less passes but I always set more passes just to be sure. There is always a stubborn patch of glue somewhere in this wood.
Love the vid how can it cut 10mm mdf? If so how many passes you think I'll neeed?
Thanks for watching! I have never tried cutting MDF, so I can't say it, but the 10mm is about the practical maximum for softer woods. For 10mm Poplar plywood it takes around 20-25 passes at 600mm/min. I think it would need quite a lot of passes. You can go slower and use much less passes, but there would be more charring. For fast cutting of thick boards, you would need much more expensive machine.
Hi JT,
I am considering buying this. Can I also make rubber templates with this sculpfun S9 that I can use to apply structures, mandalas, etc. in clay?
Yes you can
What about air assist? Can you have that??
Did you try the Masking tape on the top and then cut?
Thank you for your review on the product. I am looking for a laser cutting machine that cuts 2mm thick royal board thick paper with having the paper burnt while laser cutting it in close. i need to cut 2~10 mm thick acrylics for my architectural scale models. is there it for me?
It should br able to cut 2mm paper. The only problem I see is in acrylic. It depends on what color it is. Black acrylic is the easierst to cut but 10mm thick is the very maximum for all machines and they will cut it very slowly. None of the machines will be able to cut transparent acrylic, for it you would need a different kind of laser
i have this machine and just realized was not fully utilizing it ...thanks to JT
You're welcome:)
Hola, Excelente Video!!! Disculpa puedo poner el Modulo Sculpfun S9 en una Ortur Master 2. Gracias
If your machine is powered by 12V (regular Ortur laser Master 2) it could work. But I am not 100% sure because I don't have that machine. For Ortur laser master 2 Pro it will not work because the machine is 24V.
I really enjoyed your video..😁😁. but I have a question can you do a tutorial how correctly clean lens...I'm a little clumsy and I'm afraid I can use what I shouldn't or press something what I shouldn't too...😉
You can easily clean the lens with cotton swab (q-tip) dipped in isopropyl alcohol and gently wiping the lens with it. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates cleanly and does not leave marks. You will see how I clean the lens in my next video which comes out in a few days.
Hi everyone,
I have an Anycubic mega S,
I'd like to buy, install and use the laser engraving. Is it that possible? Is it enough and possible to replace the firmware with the mega pro and is it available to download?
Thanks.
What settings do you use for the denim engraving? (I have the same machine)
I don't remember the exact numbers, but I use the lowest possible power that gives you results, because you can quickly burn through. It should be around 30-40% power at around 1000-1500mm/min.
The number should be a bit different for various kinds of denim.
Thanks fir sharing. I'm curious to know how many passes it took to cut 10mm wood?
Thanks. It takes around 25 passes
@@JTMakesIt much appreciated 🙏
Watching from South Africa 👍
I just bought one Thanks
Please can it use automatic rotary roller .because i don't know anything about lasers before i just subscribe your channel.
@@alakaolushola5556 Sculpfun company will soon release the rotary roller for these machines. I will also review it when it will be available.
Will it be good mainly for imprinting stainless steel/metal bracelets? Do you recommend something else? Can you do on a round surface like cups?
Check out my last video. The machine I reviewed is just what you need
Nice video. I just bought last week the neje Master 2S Plus with N40630 Laser. Did you compare this laser with s9? Neje claims 7.5W optical power :-D
No I haven't gotten my hands on Neje yet., Maybe sometime I will
it kinda of looks like the master 2s uses a very similar style laser, just ordered a s9 we will see :p
Qual aplicativo Você usou para testar a Sculpfun S9 ? Obrigado e excelente vídeo.
I used Lightburn software
I would love to purchase this but have some questions: Where would I find patterns? Also how do you transfer patterns to the machine? Would I need a metal surface to make patterns?
check the video description. There is a lot more information on my website hobbylasercutters.com
What kind of wood do you use for project number 10, and what is the best thickness for this project
3mm thick poplar plywood. Poplar is soft and cheap wood which cuts very well. You can use 4mm or 6mm for a more durable toy.
Hello nice video
do you cut mdf? how much deep you can cut? In this S9
Haven't tried mdf yet but I think 5mm should be no problem.
thanks for the review. do you know if S6 Pro will be upgradable to S9 by just buying the S9's laser head? as the mechanical part looks the same, and maybe the motherboard too
Thanks for watching! The laser heads are compatible between these machines. I tried using the S6 Pro head on this machine and it worked.
@@JTMakesIt thanks for the reply. hopefully they'll sell the S9 laser head alone soon, so I can upgrade my S6 Pro ;-)
This is EXACTLY what I came to know!
How many passes for each material? It's important to know that.
@@DanielH You can get all the needed info here: hobbylasercutters.com/sculpfun-s9/
HI thanks for sharing , did you say you were sharing the box making info?? i looked in comments but couldnt find it :(
In the video description you have a link to my website. I think it is the second link that takes you to an article about these 10 projects. Then scroll to your favourite project and I have links to designs and generators posted there if applicable.
@@JTMakesIt thankyou :D
How does this laser compare to the Atomstack A5 pro plus? As far as I have read, both have the improved focusing and now the Atomstack has thumb screws to fix the laser head. How would you compare the two?
Hi, I haven't tested the Atomstack A5 pro plus, so I can't say which one is better. Whey should be somewhat similar. BubI don't like the Atomatack light ahield design because it does not allow you to lower the head more than optimal focus. It comes very handy to lower the head a few mm more than normal when cutting thicker materials.
Hi! Can you recommend a machine for engraving on jewelry? 😀 I think it's mostly stainless steel or other popular alloys
This: th-cam.com/video/OpRa6S7aEo4/w-d-xo.html
Or this: th-cam.com/video/LvUuUONVthE/w-d-xo.html
hello
What are the settings for cutting MDF wood 3 mm on the Lightburn program
Haven't tried it yet, but you should start with 600mm/min and full power set enough passes until it cuts through.
Will the S9 module work as a replacement for the Atomstack A5 20w which only has 4.5 optical power? Even though the 4.5 optical power is great for detail it takes several passes to cut leaving my edges way too charred.
S9 module is an amazing upgrade to the A5 20w. The difference is like night and day!
Hello. Have you done a review on the xTOOL D1?
Yes, check my other videos
can u show me the tutorial to setting for cutting the board using laserrgbl
Cutting parameters are the same.
Is this better than the s30 pro?
Is this brand better than neje?
I currently got my first laser and I got the neje 3plus but having trouble with it. Thinking of switching to another. Any recommendations?
This is the predecessor to the S30. It is half the power of the S30 pro. I like it way more than the Neje. If you want to compare different machines check my reviews:
hobbylasercutters.com/laser-reviews/
or watch my other videos.
I'll buy that too
Check the video description, I got a fresh discount coupon for this month.
Would be great if you can tell us cutting parameters for each certain application.. Many thanks
You can find some info on my website. Link in description.
nice 👍🏻
What is the acrylic ran that can be cut in the machine knowing that I have 2 mm white acrylic but it has not been cut. I don't know why I hope you help me. Thank you
White and transparent acrylic can't be cut with diode lasers
Hi are you able to use a rotary attachment to do cups and glasses with the Sculptfun S9?
Sculpfun will soon release their own rotary attachment. But the one from Atomstack might also work, but I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure.
@@JTMakesIt I have an update. I Recieved the sculpfun s9. It is a very nice machine. Your burn test worked great. I am. I'm waiting for the rotary attachment from atomstack now. Thanks for making the videos, keep up the amazing work.
Hello, can this machine engrave a photograph with a decent finish on a stainless steel keychain? Thanks.
I didn't try stainless, but I tried wood and it works very well: th-cam.com/video/iUTRLMqlYX4/w-d-xo.html
Stainless steel should also work, you will just need to set much lower speed
Hi I am new to laser printing I am just wondering can I use any brand y axis rotary wheel with the sclupfun laser printer as I have seen the ortur ones and they make thier own rotary wheels
So could I use a ortur rotary with sculpfun printer
I think I can but just making sure
I am not sure about the Ortur one fitting to the Sculpfun. At least the Laser Master 2 Pro has 24V power supply instead of the 12V others use. But I haven't tried any rollers yet. I think the Atomstack one could work, but the Sculpfun will soon release their own roller, so I think it is the best to wait.
@@JTMakesIt ok thank you
Am a beginner. I love your project but am yet to start learning the lighburn software. I want to buy one of the laser machine. Can you please help me to with the softwares
Lightburn software is very easy to get started because it is very intuitive to use. There are a lot of beginner tutorial videos about Lightburn on youtube. And a lot of useful topics on their forum. And the Sculpfun S9 is a great machine to get started. If you want to save some money, you will find a discount coupon in the video description valid until the end of this month.
Awesome video.
You can also "engrave" / etch stainless steel by covering it in mustard (no joke, result depends on the mustard though)... it's easier to apply and remove than spraypaint :D
Thanks for that amazing tip!😆 I will definitely try that!
I knew about the mustard from some other videos. Does tempera paint work? It should be easier to wash off apparently. I would try it, but am still waiting for the tempera paint to come.
@@cplcabs tempera should also work, but I haven't tried it yet
"Mark" NOT "engrave". This thing is way way too underpowered to engrave any metal.
@@beer1for2break3fast4 this machine is the only one of the 8 laser engravers I have that can truly engrave stainless steel. Even without painting it first. The result is a little bit lighter in color, but its engraved for sure
Bonjour, super travail. Quels paramètres avez vous mis pour la découpe du Nombre 2 et quel type et épaisseur de bois avez-vous utilisé. Merci de votre réponse
Thanks! Check the video description to my website article. You will find all the information there.
@@JTMakesIt merci.
Which is better? Ortur Aufero LU2-10A or this?
Ortus is 10W, S9 is 5W
Would this engrave on brass or other metals other than steel? I'm looking to engrave a brass padlock
I still need to try brass
what settings do you use for the wooden puzzle?
Check the video description
What do you recommend the sculpfun s9 or the ortur pro LF laser or the atomstack A5 pro plus the new one
Thank you
For me personally the S9, because it is the best at cutting
Did you test the atomstack A5 pro plus the new one ?
@@karimmradradwan4449 No, I haven't. There are too many new lasers, I can't keep up with all of them and test them all :) maybe I will soon be able to test it
Hello, how many power, speed and pass should I put to cut PVC?
Full power and speed from 300-600mm/min
I wanted to know the lasers watts on it? please cause cause I've seen all the links and comparing prices then I see a link that its about upgrading the laser ?..is it 90w or not ...?
Check my latest video, I was measuring optical power of all my laser engravers
Can you please show us the POWER and SPEED scale for the Sculpfun S9?
It is already posted on the hobblasercutters.com website. Link in the video description.
Hello, how many power and speed and interval should I put to engrave on the glass
100% power and slow speed around 300mm/min. It helps to first paint the glass black.
Ok thank you

I would like to see a comparison of sculpfun S9 with the new atomstack X7 pro, similar to your previous video of the S6 vs X5.
I will test the A10 pro, which should be exactly the same as x7 pro but without wireless connection. But I don't know if it's wise to directly compare them, because the A10 pro costs more than twice the S9.
@@JTMakesIt S9 and X7-A10 are both the next generation diode laser machines. Regardless there current price point. S9 is, if I understand correctly, a 5,5W laser, (comparable to a 90W CO-2 laser?). X7 is a 10W laser (2x5W). This should be in theory more powerful with faster cutting results? In your conclusion of the S6 vs X5 the engraving capacity gives a better result with the S6 due to a more uniformed laser point in vertical and horizontal lines. The laser point in X5 is more rectangular compared to S6. This might have improved in the A10-X7? When the atomstack is more powerful then the sculpfun the lifecycle might be a good bit longer giving similar results with running the machine with lower power? This justifies the higher price? This is something to consider and where I’m wondering about.
@@aragorndedolor4171 Cool, stay tuned, In January I will probably get the A10 and test it out. Video will follow.
@@JTMakesIt Great, I’m looking forward to your test results. I’m new to laser engraving and on the market searching for the best laser engraving/cutting results in different substrates for an affordable purchase price to extend my home based business.
Great review! I see the machine is not coming with a bed for cutting, what are you using (the black bed under your machine) if you don't mind sharing :) Thanks!
Machine comes with a small stainless steel plate. I use a big 2mm thick regular steel plate which is great because I can fix the material with magnets.
Do you get laser reflections off the steel?
@@deanclauson3566 nothing that would compromise the quality of the cuts
@@JTMakesIt I was thinking more about safety.
@@deanclauson3566 you always need to wear safety goggles and avoid looking at the beam if possible. But steel plate is not as reflective as stainless steel
so I just ordered one with your code, I'm super excited for it to arrive and want to know more. I'm going over to your site and reading but anything I should take note on id love to hear :)
Cool! Maybe look some laser engraving and Lightburn or Lasergrbl tutorials online, so you will get a feel how to work with these programs. Just watch out because the Lightburn trial period is only 1 month, so better save that for when your laser arrives. Lasergrbl is free but a bit more complicated to use
@@JTMakesIt thanks i have been watching a ton of videos on software im going to give them all a shot sooner or later. I 3d print and have found all slicers are not the same .I've been researching lasers for a few months now, first thing I'm doing after I play with it is adding air assist to it I have everything laying around to set it up.
@@GigaVids Cool! I will also make an air assist in the following month or two and post it here. It should benefit the cutting performance of thick materials
@@JTMakesIt PERFECT !!!! also can this laser 1 pass cut 3mm plywood ?
@@GigaVids it can cut in 1 pass at slower speed, but with faster speed and more passes the cut is much cleaner and better looking.
