00:00:00
dial laser cutters and engravers have
00:00:02
had three big problems and over the last
00:00:05
two years all those problems have been
00:00:06
fixed except for one we're gonna talk
00:00:09
about this machine right here that
00:00:10
finally fixes all three of those
00:00:12
problems so the first version of these
00:00:14
laser diodes I'm going to call version
00:00:16
1.0 they were kind of cheaply
00:00:18
constructed kind of rickety some of the
00:00:20
first stuff you saw from otour things I
00:00:22
was reviewing a couple years ago they
00:00:24
did a good job but they really
00:00:25
highlighted those three big problems
00:00:27
first was that build quality I mean they
00:00:30
got the job done but they kind of felt
00:00:31
like a toy and sometimes the alignment
00:00:34
wasn't right and things were just messed
00:00:35
up so that was a big issue and second
00:00:37
was air assist and this is especially
00:00:39
true if you're doing any type of cutting
00:00:40
and the third problem was the fact that
00:00:42
these were all open Gantry designs
00:00:45
meaning there was no enclosure so fast
00:00:47
forward about another year and we get to
00:00:49
version 2.0 of these laser diodes where
00:00:51
those first two problems of build
00:00:53
quality as well as air assist get fixed
00:00:56
these are nicer machines that we're
00:00:57
starting to see from xtool as well as
00:00:59
atom stack and even in creality their
00:01:01
overall construction is great and pretty
00:01:03
much all of them now include an air
00:01:05
assist that's integrated directly into
00:01:07
the laser module itself but those
00:01:09
machines still had one big problem that
00:01:11
really made it hard for me to recommend
00:01:12
it especially if you are in an enclosed
00:01:15
environment the fact that they still
00:01:17
didn't have an enclosure which brings us
00:01:19
to version 3.0 of these machines in this
00:01:22
machine right here so drumroll please
00:01:25
this is
00:01:28
the if I don't drop it we create Vision
00:01:31
all-in-one laser cutter and engraver and
00:01:35
the all-in-one aspect of this is really
00:01:37
key here now I'm going to give you a
00:01:38
demo of kind of how this works and all
00:01:40
the features that it comes with But be
00:01:41
sure and hang around to the very end
00:01:43
because there's actually a feature that
00:01:45
I haven't seen on any other machine and
00:01:47
that includes much more expensive CO2
00:01:49
machines that we're going to talk about
00:01:50
at the end full disclosure this is a
00:01:53
product feature not a product review
00:01:55
which means that we create is actually
00:01:56
paying me to make this video so this
00:01:59
isn't a formal or review and I want to
00:02:00
be real clear of that from the get-go so
00:02:02
I know before I decide to go in and
00:02:04
actually purchase something that's on
00:02:06
pre-order I love to see as much about
00:02:08
the machine as I possibly can even
00:02:10
though it might be coming from the
00:02:11
company or it might be a paid feature
00:02:13
it's just really nice to see what you're
00:02:14
actually going to get so that is my goal
00:02:17
for this video now not only does this
00:02:18
have an enclosure but this entire thing
00:02:20
can actually move up and down and that
00:02:22
is how you get focus with your diode
00:02:24
laser it kind of reminds me of this
00:02:26
crazy little Droid from Star Wars that
00:02:28
they had on the show and door last year
00:02:32
and he's quickly became one of my
00:02:35
favorite
00:02:36
two yeah so not my total favorite
00:02:40
yeah yeah we'll we'll get back into the
00:02:43
uh the review and I'll also try to give
00:02:44
you my body at some point and the
00:02:47
ability for this to move gives you a
00:02:49
really nice thickness for your z-axis
00:02:51
it's 140 millimeters without the laser
00:02:53
bed so the slats at the bottom or it's
00:02:55
100 millimeters if you have those
00:02:57
included and the reason that it moves is
00:02:59
so that the laser can focus depending on
00:03:00
the material thickness that you are
00:03:02
working with I'm not totally sure how
00:03:04
this is actually focusing now it does
00:03:06
have two red dots that slowly get closer
00:03:08
and closer to each other and then they
00:03:10
are basically one dot and once it's
00:03:11
focused that's something that you see on
00:03:13
galvo machines if you're manually
00:03:14
focusing it so I believe it's doing
00:03:16
something with that I'm not seeing like
00:03:17
a touch probe or any other type of
00:03:19
sensor in there to be able to get Focus
00:03:21
but from all my testing that Focus has
00:03:23
been spot on now I mentioned the work
00:03:25
bed a lot of times you're going to have
00:03:26
a honeycomb work bed this one actually
00:03:28
has the slat design wow my voice is
00:03:30
messed up sorry I've got a cold so my
00:03:32
voice is all over the place your voice
00:03:34
won't crack on Friday slat design which
00:03:36
I find to be a little bit easier to work
00:03:38
with it's going to give you some bigger
00:03:39
slots to be able to pull the material
00:03:41
down through and so I like that that is
00:03:43
built directly into the machine and on
00:03:45
the safety side of things this is really
00:03:47
the first diode machine that I would be
00:03:49
fine with leaving inside as long as I
00:03:51
had a way to vent the exhaust which is
00:03:53
coming out the back it's got the great
00:03:55
safety features that we see in the
00:03:56
larger CO2 machines the big one being
00:03:58
the fact that if you open this up it's
00:03:59
going to kill the power to the laser
00:04:01
it's going to stop running that's
00:04:03
basically a must-have if you're going to
00:04:04
be working in an environment with kids
00:04:05
or Just folks that aren't familiar with
00:04:07
how these machines work the top is
00:04:09
actually coated that is why it looks
00:04:10
kind of orange when you look inside of
00:04:12
it that's real similar to the safety
00:04:13
glasses that you normally get with these
00:04:15
diode machines now all of the safety
00:04:16
factors mean that this is a Class one
00:04:18
laser versus the class 4 that you're
00:04:21
going to find with the open Gantry style
00:04:23
designs like the X tool D1 or the atom
00:04:25
stack or creality or sculpt fun or all
00:04:27
the other ones that you've seen on this
00:04:29
channel now they are marketing this as
00:04:31
an all-in-one machine and there's really
00:04:33
four big features that they've kind of
00:04:35
integrated into this the first is air
00:04:37
assist so going back to one of those
00:04:39
initial problems that we have had with
00:04:40
laser diodes so that is the air assist
00:04:42
pump it's pretty similar to a lot of the
00:04:44
pumps you might have seen before I do
00:04:46
like that it has these nice rubber feet
00:04:47
so it doesn't walk all over your
00:04:49
workspace but as you can see here with
00:04:50
the connections this is actually wired
00:04:52
directly into the machine meaning that
00:04:54
when you start a cut or engrave it will
00:04:56
automatically turn the air assist on
00:04:58
then when it's done it'll turn it off
00:05:00
now that's super similar to what you
00:05:01
find with CO2 machines but normally not
00:05:03
something you're going to find with the
00:05:04
open Gantry designs in terms of the
00:05:07
performance of air assist it does a
00:05:08
great job now another problem that the
00:05:10
all-in-one nature of this kind of helps
00:05:12
solve is the fact that rotaries are
00:05:14
usually pretty hard to work with open
00:05:16
Gantry style designs especially if we're
00:05:18
going to be doing tumblers because that
00:05:20
means that the laser head needs to be
00:05:21
pretty high off the ground other
00:05:23
companies fix this by basically raising
00:05:25
the entire machine off the ground a lot
00:05:27
of times it's like extension feet that
00:05:28
you have to screw onto the bottom but
00:05:30
what's annoying about that is if you
00:05:31
want to flip it back to doing just
00:05:33
normal engraving or cutting you have to
00:05:34
take all of those feet off since this
00:05:36
thing can go up and down you're not
00:05:38
going to run into that with this and in
00:05:40
fact actually it's a connection for it
00:05:42
right here in the back for the rotary I
00:05:44
didn't set up the rotary for this video
00:05:46
but I do plan on doing a follow-up and
00:05:48
I'll include it for that now another
00:05:50
problem that the all-in-one nature of
00:05:52
this helps to solve is positioning in
00:05:55
that this actually includes a camera you
00:05:57
can see it is right here and this
00:05:59
integrates directly into the software
00:06:01
for those open Gantry designs a lot of
00:06:03
Manufacturers have started to provide
00:06:05
cameras but it's not directly integrated
00:06:07
you got to clamp it on weird and it's
00:06:08
just awkward to get the camera to work
00:06:10
and the last problem that the all-in-one
00:06:12
nature of this solves is the fact that
00:06:14
you need an enclosure but we've already
00:06:15
talked about that it comes with this
00:06:16
nice enclosure some of the other specs
00:06:18
for this machine so this is a 20 watt
00:06:21
laser this isn't at the highest end that
00:06:24
I've seen so we've started to see some
00:06:25
machines come up to 40 Watts but 20
00:06:27
actually is a pretty good sweet spot
00:06:29
especially if we're going to be using
00:06:30
this mostly for thinner materials and if
00:06:33
you're actually going to be doing
00:06:33
engraving the more powerful your laser
00:06:36
diode gets the thicker the laser dot
00:06:38
meaning that the resolution of your
00:06:39
Engraving isn't going to be as high so I
00:06:41
think 20 is a good sweet spot that
00:06:43
they've stuck with this machine it's got
00:06:45
a max speed of 600 millimeters per
00:06:46
second that's pretty much right in line
00:06:48
with the other open Gantry designs I've
00:06:50
noticed just from using it even when I'm
00:06:52
running it at the top speeds there's not
00:06:54
a ton of movement with the machine just
00:06:56
because there's a lot more to this the
00:06:57
outside body of this is all sheet metal
00:07:00
and the internal frame is metal as well
00:07:02
so this thing really is Rock Solid now
00:07:04
the machine is really only half the
00:07:05
story the second part is the software
00:07:08
that you're going to use to control it
00:07:09
so recreate has created their own custom
00:07:11
software called we create make it
00:07:13
exclamation point what I like about it
00:07:15
is it's not web-based so it runs local
00:07:17
on your machine it's just something
00:07:18
you're going to download I'm connected
00:07:19
to the machine just by USB but there's
00:07:21
also a Wi-Fi connection that you can use
00:07:23
as well on the back now the next video
00:07:25
that I'm going to do is going to be a
00:07:26
full walkthrough of the software and
00:07:28
we're going to go through a few demo
00:07:30
projects I just wanted to give you a
00:07:31
quick look at what this looks like so
00:07:33
you pretty much have all of the normal
00:07:34
controls that you would want to find in
00:07:36
terms of being able to add things to the
00:07:38
canvas you can see right here that
00:07:40
already have a image of what is inside
00:07:42
the machine right now I actually have a
00:07:44
piece of wood that I have right here so
00:07:46
that is what it's looking at I'm going
00:07:47
to flip this around so that you can see
00:07:50
that it will get a new image and you
00:07:53
just hit refresh right here to get that
00:07:54
now you can see that is upside down and
00:07:56
you'll also autofocus it from here as
00:07:58
well it actually already is focused down
00:08:00
I can just add a quick rectangle
00:08:03
and they're going to get all of the
00:08:05
controls that you would normally need in
00:08:07
terms of if you want to engrave it fill
00:08:09
engrave it or cut it out and then if you
00:08:11
need to do different types of cuts and
00:08:12
engraves on the same piece of material
00:08:14
you're going to have multiple layers
00:08:16
that you can add in as well but the one
00:08:18
feature that I mentioned at the
00:08:19
beginning that I haven't seen on any
00:08:21
other machine isn't actually with the
00:08:23
machine itself it's with the software
00:08:25
and that is if I come over here to fill
00:08:28
engrave meaning this is going to turn
00:08:30
this into like a solid rectangle right
00:08:34
here at the bottom they're giving you
00:08:35
this nice preview I harp on the fact
00:08:38
that you always want to do test anytime
00:08:40
you're messing with a new machine and
00:08:41
new material to find out the settings
00:08:43
are going to work best for you they
00:08:45
basically have done a lot of that leg
00:08:46
work already for you and they're giving
00:08:48
you an image of what this would look
00:08:49
like at different speeds as well as
00:08:52
powers and I can actually just click on
00:08:53
it and actually something I'm just now
00:08:55
realizing what's in here that I didn't
00:08:56
know um there's a little blue square
00:08:58
going around each of these so I bet if I
00:09:00
click so let's say I'm going to do this
00:09:02
fast so let's go 250 50 at 60 power yep
00:09:06
that adjusts the power and the speed
00:09:07
settings right here that's super slick a
00:09:10
lot of times you'll have material
00:09:11
libraries where it has those settings in
00:09:13
there but being able to have it visually
00:09:14
and then being able to automatically
00:09:16
update your settings they're really
00:09:17
making this easy and they have this for
00:09:19
other materials as well all right I've
00:09:20
got everything connected I'm going to
00:09:21
come up here to start it's going to give
00:09:23
me a preview and tell me it's only going
00:09:25
to take 24 seconds I'm going to hit send
00:09:27
and then you're going to hit the only
00:09:29
physical button on this machine right
00:09:31
here to actually start it so you can't
00:09:33
start it from the computer again that's
00:09:35
another nice safety feature that you're
00:09:36
going to find on machines like glowforge
00:09:38
where you physically have to interact
00:09:39
with the machine to get it to start but
00:09:41
let's just say you have a bunch of kids
00:09:42
running around like I do and they want
00:09:44
to look inside they open it up while
00:09:46
it's running the laser actually stop the
00:09:49
fans are still running in the back so
00:09:51
it's got exhaust that's running out the
00:09:53
back but it's going to stop the laser
00:09:55
which is great now I can restart it by
00:09:58
just hitting that button again and it's
00:10:00
going to finish up the job and then once
00:10:02
it's done it basically goes back back to
00:10:04
the home position so for this the z-axis
00:10:06
is going to go all the way up to the top
00:10:08
to give you the most room to get stuff
00:10:09
in and out so all of the pre-order
00:10:12
information and links are down in the
00:10:13
description I encourage you guys to
00:10:14
check this out I would also love to know
00:10:16
what your thoughts are on this style
00:10:17
machine if this is something that you
00:10:19
would want to pick up until next time go
00:10:21
make or break something in your shop see
00:10:23
you guys
