Genmitsu Kiosk 2.5W 2500mW Laser Engraver, Lightweight Portable Laser Engraver Machine Cutter with Acrylic Enclosure for DIY Wood Leather, 3.9'' x 3.9'' Engraving Area, Safety Class 1

Great little laser. It's my first but it works well now that I've learned more about it. You can't engrave metal or glass with the 2.5W. I would recommend getting the 10W starting off if you want more options. At this point ill just upgrade to a larger laser with higher wattage rather than upgrading the module since the module is the majority of the cost. I do leather mostly with this but it can do plastic, wood, and painted surfaces too.

No funciona aparte hice la devolución me dijeron que en 7 días tendría mi reembolso an pasado más de 15 días y aún sigo esperando NOTA ES UN CERO DE ESTRELLAS PERO NO Me dejaba POSTEAR SIN CALIFICAR 😡

Works very good and it’s Very convenient

This is the first laser engraver I have ever tried to work with and I had high hopes. I like the small footprint and the advertised versatility to work with a variety of mediums. However, I use a MacBook and found that trying to get the software downloaded and get it connected was far from simple - I can only assume it is easier with a PC. Some things I do not care for is that the free software that is supposed to work with this engraver is basically useless - in fact, their own customer service recommends the purchase of a commercial program over their own software. I tried a trial of the software and was able to get it running, but I haven’t used the engraver enough to justify paying $60 for the software. I don’t have great chunks of time to dedicate to figuring it out at this point. I will say that their customer service team has been very responsive and has done their best to help me, but I just have not had the time to go through a good tutorial to figure out how to use the commercial software, as I do not find it very intuitive. This particular laser engraver is 2.5, the lowest power they offer. Unfortunately, that means it is pretty much useless for most cutting tasks, which is one of the things I had hoped to do. I do hope to eventually get the time to work with ot more, but for a complete beginner, especially if you use a Mac, something else would be a better choice.

overall its good for small projects or light duty engraving. This is only the 2.5w laser. I would personally recommend the 10w version if you do get one. That said, I went through and attempted to complete a firmware upgrade and it failed. I have been working with lasers and andrino / pi boards for many years and the error that I received was due to the board not able to boot into the correct bootloader state. Long story short, the board was not booting into a mode that would allow it to accept a firmware to be written. I messaged support and they did go through most of the basic troubleshooting to attempt to resolve typical issues but none of the troubleshooting actually addressed the error message that clearly stated the Board was not in the correct mode. I do believe if I were to continue with troubleshooting they would likely replace the device. That being said, it does work out of the box, i was just attempting to upgrade the firmware as per directions on their site. It works out of the box and I was able to engrave within about 30 min of unpacking. I would say this would be a good super beginner laser that is moderately easy to use but again, i would recommend the 10w version if its in your budget.

Why won’t it engrave? I have been having issues getting it to connect and now engraving. It does not pull up on my laptop so I’m using the app on my phone

Works great! I wish I would have ordered the higher Watt, it overall it works great.

Terrible no sirve, ya lo probé y no marca bien, no pierdan su dinero hoy a tener que devolverlo
