LaserPecker LP5 (Basic) 20W Fiber & Diode Dual Laser Engraver for Almost All Materials, 10000mm/s Speed 3D Embossing Laser Engraving Cutting Machine for Business Batch Processing Metal Wood Acrylic

Excellent unit, works very well, that’s the second unit I bought as I already have the LP4.

The media could not be loaded. Let me start with faults. The only fault I found with this laser engraver is that there is no proper instructions of how to use this machine. Sure you can find some instructions on the Laserpecker website but they are not very precise so you will just get to know the basics. All settings - Speed/Depth, Power, Frequency, Passes, resolution you have to find out on your own what they are actually doing and how to adjust them accordingly to your project. There are some preset values when you choose a specific material to engrave but on many occasions it the outcome is not what you were trying to achieve. I know this machine might be targeted for more advanced engravers but still it would be nice to have some basic knowledge on what settings do exactly what and how it affects the outcome.Except that I didn't find anything else that I would consider a fault. The machine looks stunning with smooth semi gloss finish, rounded edges and very compact design. It doesn't take too much space and it very easy to move around if necessary.Performance: with two different laser sources you can engrave on almost any material you want. If you are planing to make some business out of it and want some versatile machine to try out different final products then this will be perfect.Each laser works perfectly well and the precision it engraves is fantastic. The smallest details are engraved very precisely and the outcome is just amazing. It is fast too but that depends on the project as some 3D deep engravings takes much longer to do - Even few hours but the result is breathtaking.Obviously, this machine is beest to use with small objects as the laser focusing distance is limited here but still you have some good amount of space to release your creativity.Operation: it takes few moments to get used to this and again the instructions are not too clear about how to get started engraving. It takes few moments to figure it out how to use a software but if someone used a Photoshop or some other photos/image software it shouldn't be too much of a problem to use the LaserPecker design studio software.Let's talk about the price around £2500 for the basic machine the one I have. From the point of view of a hobby machine this is a lot of money to pay which if you won't use it daily than it probably won't be worth it as there are some other machines from other manufacturers for less. However, if you planning to do some business with it or you just need a small engraver for your DIY projects this will be a perfect start up . However, if you need more advanced things like a rotating tool or mulit engraving tooll, or air purifier so you don't have to feed the exhaust fumes pipe around your room then prepare for another ££££ to spend. Will it be worth? It will be as long as you have a successful business.Verdict:I am honestly very amazed by this laser engraver and I just love it a lot for its compact and very beautiful design and for the powerful lasers that can engrave anything on almost any material. Fantastic for professional on the go as well as some advanced DIYers. Amateurs might not be able to use it's full potential but it is nice to have that for future.
