    How deep can this laser engrave metal?

    • @MakeTechCreate
      @MakeTechCreate День тому

      @MegaIsok it's only 2 watt, so you can't go deep with it. You'll need a fiber laser for that. But, this definitely goes deep enough for a solid engraving that won't wear off.

      There's a few things you can do to prevent this. Fisrt, use only distilled water. Second, add a cap full of bleach every 6 months or so. That's what works for me. If you still have issues, switch to an antifreeze mixture.

    I wish there was a way to do the polygon framing with the original d1. I have the d1 10w and infrared. Too much of an investment to just try and ssve uo to switch to a newer model. Had to wait until after my brain surgery to really get started using it and the companies definitely evolved a lot since then 😂 Very beautiful though!
