Thanks so much for loading this video! I wish when I started my build, I had found your video first! ORTURS destruction manual was impossible to read, and there are too many videos out there with people babbling on and skipping parts. :D Through your video I discovered my limiter switch for my Y axis came assembled backwards. Quick fix with 2 screws and flipping the plate over and re-installing. But Anywhoooo..your wonderful soothing voice with the awesome accent saved the ORTUR from flying across the room. :D Thanks again from Canada!
Hmmm.. I’ve found mixed reviews on how the limiter switch is actually suppose to go..according to ortur.tech/documentation/olm2pro/OLM2_Pro_User_Manual_EN.pdf The limiter is on the bottom of the plate so that the highest party of the wire will come into contact with the chassis. Sorry if this was already mentioned …you have a lot of comments to go through :D
First laser. wow you made putting this together pretty easy I have watched several other videos, and nothing compares to this one of course, I got mixed up on a few items, however that is just who I am. thanks again. now for the software YIKES lol
Great video. I began watching the Ortur 2-2W assembly video... close but not for me. Your video answered all my questions. Almost all the Ortur videos I watched warned me that the manual sent with the machine was difficult to follow. How true. The photos were too small on some details. If I could put parts in backwards, I will, and I did!
After PC is done (still needs an LTO-8 drive =$3000 = will be awhile) next on the shopping list is a $4500 3D printer. I can't really think of why I'd need a laser cutter or engraver, but if I did I'd probably just get a 1200W one that can cut 12mm steel in 1 pass. Granted that's about 100x more, but you get what you pay for.
Interesting. I have a 405nm laser of similar power and I can attest to the beam profile being the major controlling factor when it comes to cutting things (aside from the light spectrum of the diode). I wonder what they're using for the collimator and focus lens. It's also probably using the same laser diode. They are often found on Ebay, pulled from laser diode arrays found in laser projectors. Generally they are tested and binned. I bring this up because the one I bought was rated at 6.4W optical output. This means you could probably ramp the diode current up by 20% without doing it any damage or reducing its lifespan.
Totem S 40W / NEJE Master 2S Max / Atomstack A5 Pro / Ortur Laser Master 2 pro I found the four. would like to know which one of the favorites is and which one is best for small knives, normal kitchen knives, silver key rings, zippo, silver engraved bracelet for children. thank you in advance for the help and information I will get. nice day
Thanks for the video. Glad I found it because it is $90.00 cheaper then where I was going to get it. I do have one problem, I can not seem to down load the custom buttons from the Oturo page. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Wow thank you for your great informative tutorial, you really explain everything so well. I've been wanting to buy this kind of machine for home for my different hobbies & craft. Thank you so much again. New subscriber 🙂
Wonderful presentation! You’ve got a great voice for tutorials. Question: has anyone successfully etched into uncoated brushed aluminum with this diode laser? I’m looking to do things like metal business cards and tags.
I have one and follow your instructions on assembly but when I press the power button nothing happen don't move at all, what could it be the reason I check all the cables
Thank you for this fantastic video. The paper instructions and video accessed through the product QR code were less than helpful and your video was indispensable in helping me assemble my machine. Cheers from Canada!
I know you said no metal but there are ways to cut copper clad with a laser to make PCB's, like using thin layer of matt black paint, worth an experiment ?...cheers.
I can attest to the fact that it will not. I have never heard a good explanation as to white paint works better than black paint, but it does. I saw one video where a guy used cold galvanize paint. He said that worked way better than the white paint. However it is imperative you engrave outside or have a real good fume extractor because the burning cold galvanize paint puts off some really nasty, toxic fumes.
@@JohnDoeTheTroll the tile is actually white and then you paint them with white paint. The laser burns the white paint turning it black making the engraved image. You cannot remove the image. You cannot scrape it of with any kind of sharp instrument. It is absolutely permanent. I have looked at the resulting image under a microscope and cannot tell you exactly what happens when the laser hits the white paint or why it works better than black paint. One would think black paint would absorb more of the light energy of the laser and make a darker image but I don't find that to be the case. In fact one would presuppose that white paint would not work at all as white objects tend to reflect the blue laser. It is even very hard to cut white paper with a blue laser. Coloured paper, no problem. There must be something in the white paint that absorbs the light energy of the laser. I'm usually pretty good at figuring out things but this has me stumped. It may be the titanium oxide in the paint but I just don't know.
Wish price lasted longer, I'd be getting one otherwise. Unfortunately I wont have the money before 1st of July. Still may consider it though. Oh and hit that like button so that should put a smile on your face but I'll have to take you at your word on this one.
great presentation, you have a very appealing conversational, down to earth manner. question, the next model down without the "pro" features is it essentially the same functionality? the OLM2 LU2-4 20W.
I’d get an CO2 laser. A large format will cost you $2k USD. This unit is only a 5.5 watt which is pretty underpowered. I think it can be done but you’ll need lots and lots of passes.
You are correct. But all the videos I have seen you can't cut much more with K-40 lasers than this laser can. Also you can't engrave as big an area as this laser (with LightBurn you can engrave as big as you want with this laser because you can easily move the whole laser around ).th-cam.com/video/n__saOKVupA/w-d-xo.html I currently have the LaserMaster 2 "15" watt laser and have done way more with it than I ever expected to. To me if it is a choice between the K-40 laser and the LaserMaster 2Pro for the same price...well...I purchased the LaserMaster 2 Pro. Another nice feature of the diode lasers is there is no mirror alignment or mirrors and lenses to replace. This is not a laser that you spend more time tweaking than engraving with. IMHO the LaserMaster 2 Pro is way more bang for the buck. By the way, I used to believe the same as you.
Your video seriously has an issue you cannot fast-forward to a certain point you have it set up or we can only go to certain points and we skip everything we need to see

Believe me, in the same price range, ortur will be better.
Anyone notice at 14:39 the electrical arc from the power cable, erm yeah
For ventilation, what setup would you recommend? If any

Automotive water soluble paint could work for preparing shiny stuff. It washes off easy. Mercedes Benz paint.
Very Professional ! thank you for this Good Presentation
It’s the best tutoriel.

Great to see you uploading videos, love your channel.
Great Video "G" Very helpful.
Apparently, in New Zealand, it is legal to have absurd amounts of fun! Good on you. A very enjoyable video, as usual. Cheers.
Nice vid - would this cut thin (3-6mm) EPP foam with an glueable edge?
Nice job this unit will be a consideration..Thank you.
Hi !
As always and forever, a very well explained job ! I love your work
Thank you so much for sharing !
So glad you enjoyed my video! :)
@@Schematix Hi !
Need to do the same job BUT on marble !!
Guiding ideas please; or better: a video ... if possible
Thank you so much for sharing !
Love your videos!!! Keep up the great work👍
What's this machine like engraving onto aluminium? Either etching into silver aluminium or taking the anodising off an anodised piece?
Really cool video. Thanks.
Combien de mm maximum avez vous pu couper sur du médium ou du contreplaqué avec cette machine ?
Wonderful presentation! You’ve got a great voice for tutorials.

Awesome video
Keep it up
Love from South Africa
I connected the device to the computer, but the computer does not see it, what should I do?
You need to download the firmware before connecting to the computer, for more details on Ortur.net
Thank you for sharing this.
It says it comes with a US or EU plugs only on their website so that means we need to buy a plug convert
Which of the two is better: SCULPFUN S9 90W or neje master 2s plus engraving machine?
Tremendous for newbie. Thanks.
I just ordered one i hope it's good enough as 40w atomstack or i have to return it
Thanks for the info great video my man.🛠
Hi can you use the laser slightly raised off the base to feed through long pieces of ply or acrylic so you ca n move them to cut along its length ?
Thank you for this fantastic video. The paper instructions and video accessed through the product QR code were less than helpful and your video was indispensable in helping me assemble my machine. Cheers from Canada!
I know you said no metal but there are ways to cut copper clad with a laser to make PCB's, like using thin layer of matt black paint, worth an experiment ?...cheers.
Exactly what I was thinking! I'm going to experiment with pcb etching using a laser to create the pcb mask
hi, excellrent video mate. Question...... can you engrave clear plastic with this machine?
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I can't seem to download LaserGRBL Custom Buttons. Anything that I could be doing wrong?
no leather cuts?
cual es el costo del equipo y tiempo de entrega a colombia
If you painted a tile black and engraved over it, would the engraving appear in white?

@@krisknowlton5935 That's strange to me. You would think it would remove the black paint as it does with the white. Thanks for responding.

Well done! It seems that you have technically find a way to avoid the use/purchase of a rotary module. Nice sollution.
3D printed expanding arbor mod to the rotary axis and ceramic mugs and anything else with a handle could be engraved...
