GenmitsuJinsoku LC-40 Laser Engraver, 5.5W Compressed Spot Laser Engraving Machine with Passive Air Assist, APP Control, Linear Rail, Limit Switch, Movement Sensor, 400mm x 400mm FAC Laser Machine

I had a very small 3watt machine before this on, It fit in a small box so it was very convenient to store. I didn't want anything bigger but to get better quality I had no choice.This isn't a big machine, and the print area isn't very large but it does require a little room to store. I found instructions on how to store the engraver in a suitcase that worked out for me.CON: The stated print area could be bigger. And a printable gride pattern could have included in the software.

The media could not be loaded.  I love I can do bigger projects than before

First let me say this is my first diode laser. My previous unit was a CO2 unit. With that, I did look at all the popular ones out there and looked at the reviews on multiple. Looked at so many reviews you can go blind. My reason for choosing the Genmitsu was the design and the fact that it uses linear rails.Assembly went very well and I have to admit that is one of the best manuals I have seen in years, very nice looking and well put together. Unit feels quality and is square.Overall, I had this up and running in under 2 hours. The software was ok…. The phone application was pretty straightforward. Now, I also chose this unit since it is compatible with Lightburn. This is where things kinda go downhill. It has a disclaimer that if you use Lightburn your home location changes and you will not be able to use rotary. Honestly, I was going to wait for the rotary they teased to be coming, but if I use Lightburn…. Then what?Currently, still testing the unit and contemplating if this was the best choice… or if I should have gone with a unit with proven Lightburn and rotary compatibility.

The media could not be loaded.  This laser engraver meets and exceeds my expectations as a beginner when it comes to lasers. The simplicity is a huge plus when it comes to Bluetooth mobile app connection. So far I’ve engraved stainless steal, played around with black and white and greyscale images on mdf board, and cut plywood stencils with relative ease. Definitely recomend

I do like this laser and it is easy to assemble. There are some things I do not like though. The controls are in the back which is not good if using a laser enclosure as it is hard to reach the controls. You cannot add air assist, at least not with the 5w fac module. Also, if you need to adjust the belts, you have to disamble the frame a bit to tighten the belt system. I did notice, the newer lc-50 does not have this limitation and it is easy to tighten the belts. The last thing I did not like is that if you change firmware so you can use lasergrbl or lightburn, you lose the ability to autohome. I am not saying this is a bad laser because it is not. There are just some questionable design choices with this laser. And I should have done more research before buying one of these. I do think a more open frame laser would be a better choice especially for a beginner.One more thing I found and this a fairly important one. If you use a rotary you have to switch back and forth between grbl firmware that allows normal use and special grbl firmware that disables the y axis so you can use the rotary. It seems like a bad design decision. Why not have one firmware that can do both.

I had this thing set up and engraving in 20 min. The phone app is what made it all a breeze. READ THE MANUAL. Especially if you get the rotating table too, it zeros out only on specific instructions. From there your off to the races.2 thumbs up! I got the 10w Lazer witht he used/excellent condition. The guy put it together and couldn't run it. I bought this thing 2 weeks and already did over a dozen pieces stainless too! And I only get a couple hrs at night having 3 kids, this is gonna be a kool gift maker!!

Easy to assemble, well designed, easy to use with phone app. I had a minor issue that the customer service team went above and beyond to resolve. It works VERY well, the repeatability is EXCELLENT. It has exceeded all the published specs and is performing very nicely. I look forward to the 10 Watt laser upgrade. Thank you Sainsmart Technical support for your efforts.

easy to put together,using it a few minits after assembly,highly recommend

After starting with the Genmitsu 3020 Pro Max, which I gave up on and returned I thought setting this unit up and using it was a walk in the park. I've come to realize though that my problems with the 3020 were lack of knowledge and probably not defects. Anyway, I love this device. It produces great results and is easy to use. One other person commented that it was only good for crafters and such because it will only do small things I presume. If all you want to do is small things like coasters and wall hangings, and you only have a little bit of room for equipment then this is perfect.

Très facile à utiliser avec un simple smartphone

Nach einigen Probieren entwickelt man ein Gefühl wie man etwas brennen muss. Musste einige gleiche Gläser gravieren, das Erste gut das zweite auch, dann wurde die Qualität auf einmal schlecht. Es machte Lücken oder die Schrift war nicht zu identifizieren.Habe den Laser regelmäßig gereinigt und immer die selbe Einstellungen eingegeben. Musste es zurück senden, da es zu viele Materialien beschädigt hat.Leider kann man Höhe und Breite nicht individuell vom Motiv einstellen, es passt sich automatisch an Höhe oder Breite an.PS: Holzbrennen funktioniert toll.

Het is een professioneel product.Assemblage was eenvoudig en goed gedocumenteerd.De bekabeling is goed weggewerkt in het frame van de machine in tegenstelling tot andere laser snijders.De laser kan probleemloos snijden door verschillende soorten materialen.Ook kan de laser zeer kleine producten snijden en grafferen.Ik ben er super blij mee.
