RAY5 mini Laser Engraver, 3.5W Desktop Laser Engraving Machine with WiFi Control and Emergency Stop, CNC Laser Cutter for Wood, Acrylic, Leather and anodized aluminum, 140 x 130 mm Working Area

Very pleased with this Laser engraver, top class. Works straight out the box. Perfect with my android phone on WiFi Highly Recommend

For beginners this is the perfect machine to start with as i use it through my mobile phone, only issue I have is the capacity of the sd card is too small and i keep having to delete files. Iqts already paid for itself and its ideal for smaller projects. Im already thinking about getting a larger machine to expand my ideas and attempt some local craft fair markets

First time using a laser engraver. Very easy to set up the device it's self. It's shame it doesn't have it own dedicated software, but does works well with other software compatibility wise. Using the engraver is not straightforward as it requires trial and error on different materials. It not powerful enough for most metals contrary to product description. But good valued product for its size. And fully upgradeable.

The Longer ray mini 5 engraver is good value working straight out of the box, and easy to use. At this point I would recommend this engraver, time will tell.

Good value, easy to use.

Hard to set up, vital information was not included in the set up manual, had to watch a YouTube video. Software was not easy to use and it doesn't engrave. I ordered it for stainless steel and it didn't even leave a mark on it let alone engrave. Returned

It's a really good machine

It's a nice little engraver but needs better instructions not that easy for a noob

This thing is great as long as you get the Lightburn (or other software) settings right. The settings come with device on a printed sheet. Tip - It doesn't do as well with tumblers that aren't the same circumference top to bottom. This is the majority of tumblers. You can easily make yourself a jig in Lightburn. Take the outer circumference of the top of tumbler and create a circle the same size in Lightburn. Then take the outer circumference of the bottom of the tumbler and center this circle inside the other in Lightburn. Then cut this out of plywood. You will get a ring to put around the bottom of the tumbler to hold it parallel to the laser. Put this ring on before putting it on the rotary. Sometimes a little tape (duct, gorilla) will give extra assurance that it stays in place.

Works amazingly!! Have no issues, great quality and easy to use!!

So I will start with the negatives. The directions are both terrible and inaccurate. They state that the black ended cord is for "all other laser engravers" and the white ended was only for their specific brands. After trying the black cord over and over and getting a jumping rotary, I decided to try the white cord just on a whim before I returned it. It worked. I got it installed, made the adjustments and engraved a pen blank as a test. It did a great job!

Risers worked great on my Atomstack X20, and should work on any 2020 extrusion frame. Already looking at an additional set to add even more height for larger rotary jobs.

This is a good variety of different colored cards that worked well with my laser engraver (a Creality Falcon 10W). On the test cards shown, I made the following test template: the left column was run at 200mm/s and the right column was engraved at 333 mm/s. The top row was 100% power, the middle was 75%, and the bottom row was 30%. My laser is a blue diode laser, so colors that absorbed the blue light engraved better than the blues which reflect it. The silver card, not surprisingly, did not engrave or mark in any way. At these settings, there were still varying levels of color left behind on the engraving. I did additional tests, lowering the speed and keeping the power level at 100%. I started seeing optimal results when the speed was around 50 mm/s. The cards are super thin. They look great when engraved, but you would want to protect them as you carry them, because the coloring can be scratched off, and it would be easy to bend them if they were kept in a wallet. If you can get the right settings for your laser engraver, it definitely makes an impression to be able to hand these business cards to friends and potential customers.
