Thanks for the video, followed along and had it up and burning in 10 min!
That's great, I'm glad it helped!
Good review. I have an Elksmaker Laser Engraver and one big problem I had was the limited "print" area. I think that is even a bigger drawback on this system than the software, and it had a 300 x 400 mm area. I was able to enlarge it to 900x 400 by changing the extrusions. Once you get started with laser engravers you tend to get into signs or other larger projects.
I have the Eleksmaker A3 pro 2.5 w and I love it! T2Laser software FTW!!! My favorite medium is glass painted black, engraved, and then backed with white paper. :)
@@KarrMcDebt I also purchased the T2software and was very impressed with it. I have not used it in over a year, since I discovered 3D printing. I found I can do so much more by adding plastic on top of plastic, than I could by removing material by burning.
Thanks Dave, yeah these i3 machines just aren't very good platforms to laser work. Too confining.
I am about to pew pew on Snapmaker2, hope I don't burn down the Garage LOL ! stay safe Chris !
That's no good, let me know if I can help.
Hey man so do I need to take the laser off to go back to 3D printing? Or can I leave it on? Do I only have to take it back off to use the BL touch again? Why the heck can they not make it so I don't have to chose one over the other.
I think all you have to do is unplug the connector.
The laser module is basically an off-shelf generic laser module which is pulled to ground to turn on, most controller boards work the other way around where 0V is off and PWM to 5V is on, this could simply be fixed by making one transistor not gate with a (3904 or any other NPN transistor) and two resistors hooked up between the controller and the lasers TTL board.
How do you know how this laser is operating? You have one and have looked over the circuitry?
@@timmturner I bought a few China laser made modules before lol if that answers your question, and for some reason, most of them favour high to be the off state and pulled to ground for firing. and clearly, this is the case here if the lower the number the stronger is the output, wouldn't you agree? They do the same things with those K40 laser cutters also.
Thanks for the info on this, I don't have a lot of experience with these.
@@patprop74 AFAIK there is no variable power on the Shark laser, it's either on or off. The setting in the software does nothing.
@@timmturner If you say So Tina, And keep up the good work at crowdfunding the Chinese.
How do I get laser option in Cura. I installed laser on machine and is present. I downloaded software app and installed, but no laser option In Cura.
It's only available in the Lotmaxx version.

nice :-)
Thanks Freddy! 😀
My z level keeps going back to the lowest setting every time I hit print. Auto leveling is turned off.
When you try to Laser?
@@ChrisRiley I ended up figuring it out.
lasers! Pew Pew! Sharks with lasers on their heads!
Does it have a laser run out sensor?
Sharkonadooo 14
Lasers,...pew pew...
Only if I don't pay the power bill.
I wish you had more detail on installing the software. I can't get my Shark to laser engrave after following the absolutely horrible install instructions that came with the Shark.
The laser software is very bad, but it should install with Cura that they give you.
will it engrave metal?
No, not strong enough.
Does it etch glass?
Unfortunately it does not. Thanks for watching!
@@ChrisRiley alright thanks, don't wanna spend $ on something that's not gunna work for me
I wish he made same video for mingda d2
That is coming soon!
1. The red lenses and green lenses are not the same. You can still see blue light through the green lenses, even at low power, which means they are NOT adequately protecting you.
You can not see the blue light at all through the red lenses, even at full power, so we can assume that they are offering a minimum of protection. Despite all that, neither set of glasses are actually acceptable in a professional environment. For real safety, buy something that has a verifiable OD rating of a minimum of 3. You have it 100% right about using an enclosure. The reflected laser light does not harm webcams.
2. WOW, you mean there is no "low power mode" to focus the laser!!!!! This is a deal-breaker right there. There is no reason you should be trying to focus a full power beam.
I bought and assembled an Eleksmaker A3 Pro with a 2.5 w laser from China that puts the Shark laser to SHAME!!!!
T2Laser software FTW!!!!
Thank you Chris for verifying that I don't want ANYTHING to do with this machine.
Good to know on the glasses. Yes, there firmware/software needs some work on the laser side.
For 1. Actually, it's not if you can see the light or not, you can have Clear Lenses AKA GLASSES and see the light and still be protected, It has all to do with the material and thickness to which the laser can no longer burn throw that is the protection, the different colour glasses are simply a marketing factor to help consumers know which wavelength any given product protects from.

@@KarrMcDebt I never said go on eBay and buy the cheapest you could find loll
No, you just made an inaccurate statement about how laser safety lenses work. Red lenses block blue light better than green, plain and simple.
