Laser Engraver WAINLUX K6 Pro, 3000mW Laser Engraving Machine, 0.05mm Accuracy, BT Connection Portable Mini Laser Cutter Engraver Tool for Wood Vinyl Leather Glass, DIY Art, Logo Design

I was super nervous about getting this engraver. I have experience with the bigger name brands and it was a mess and waste of supplies. Wainlux did not disappoint. It took me a few to upload drivers and program to my computer but it’s fairly self explanatory.The best part is that it will shown you exactly where it plans to cut so you can position your item as perfectly as you can. For the price I paid it more than excelled in what I wanted and needed.The program it self is simple and I do need to make some designs in another program or app and the upload the picture. The large monogram showed up pixelated on the program but when it engraved was smooth lines and nice detail.While this is portable, please please use it in a well ventilated area with a fan near pulling the air away. Because it is portable I am able to take my work to the porch and easily work on it there.The mobile app…. Is less useful. Mostly because it won’t preview, meaning show the exact area where the laser with engrave; so boo for that.As for height adjustments, I bought some not jenga at the dollar tree and glue heights I needed and it works fine~The work area is small but if you are new and just need something to learn on and eventually keep for quick small projects this is definitely worth it.Engraving time… about 5-8 minutes on my pens. And the big monogram with is nearly the full working area for the laser…. About 2 hours. Yes it’s a bit of a long time but considering that I couldn’t get the name brand to do this nice and smoothly, I’m more than happy with the times.I am primarily working on bamboo, and the color of the engraving will vary on the wood, but each is well done and nicely finished. So if some engraves look lighter or darker , it simply the wood itself. I was worried about people not liking it, but most people were so happy getting a personalized item, they didn’t remark on burn variance.I hope this helps you if you really want an engraver but don’t know where to start. While the engraver isn’t exactly plug and play, considering cost and the fact you don’t have to have a subscription to use the program, I find it more than balanced in the work I have to do manually and what the engraver accomplishes.Happy engraving with all your projects~

Update:I’ve been trying to work with tech support for Wainlux. This is a waste of time. I send in a description of the problem and they ask questions about stuff I already told them. For example, I told them I was installing on a Windows machine using USB, and they asked me if I was using WIFI or Bluetooth. The machine description doesn’t say anything about WIFI.Even more maddening is that responses from tech support come once a day about 3 am. Obviously, these responses are coming from China from a person who doesn’t speak English.I’ve made the decision to send this back. Don’t waste your time. I’ve gotten zero from them.Original:Nothing about the software works. There was a thumb drive that came with the machine, and the manual said to use the software on the thumb drive. THE PROGRAM ON THE THUMB DRIVE WOULDN'T RUN.So I went back to the manual which gave directions for downloading software from the internet. I did this. Once unzipped and installed, the software wouldn't run. I've contacted support, but got a lousy response that said that the machine runs on either Bluetooth or WIFI and wanted to know which version I had. Amazon's description says it runs on both Bluetooth and USB. And apparently I have to wait overnight for each response as it's probably coming from China.

The media could not be loaded. The one down side of this project is, outside of the presets of the app, they don't have recommendations for when you cut written down anywhere, and since you can delete material type, as well as add it, having the basic chart come with the box would have been nice.Marking center I kinda nice, but every time before you start, have it show you the engrave area...I haven't tried the multiple things yet, I was more trying to figure out how to make just one thing just right.And I have only really tried two speeds, cork and bamboo, which the dragon makes obvious just light it goes, on the coin it was a light brown burn and perfect for that, no picture right now, sorry.Ok the tag, bamboo was closer to what I wanted.I haven't tested all the materials yet.But I got an email telling me that they expect one of the parts to break, it has a two year warranty don't worry. They also want me to read the full manual which is mostly explaining how the different applications wormAlso in that email it says that this doesn't work on metalAnd then it tells me if I want it to work with glass I have to paint it a dark color.I don't know if that will matter to anybody who wants to buy this.This, right now, is going to do the job I wantAnd later I'll see if it will do other things I'm curious about.Also, there is a note, it wants to be powered down for at least 10 minutes after a 4 hour engraving or a 1 hour cut.

Nice laser machine, easy to assemble and setup on the computer. However, it was not powerful enough to burn leather. The prints seemed to be accurate and the speed was so-so. I ended up returning but for an entry level machine I’d recommend it for basic burning needs.
