If you love papercraft, this is a fantastic machine.
I spend a lot of time on papercraft projects, including cardboard puzzles, and now I have spent my last hour with a craft knife. I love this laser cutter! Five stars.The product shipped promptly from California and arrived in new condition. The item was very well packed in double boxes and I am grateful for that. There was some obvious minor damage on the outside of the box, but thankfully the unit inside was undamaged and in new condition.Setup was a breeze, I had watched a few youtube videos and so I knew more-or-less what to expect. I had a 5-gallon bucket on hand for cooling water, and everything worked right out of the box. If, like me, you are new to "emergency stop" buttons then be sure to give a little twist or it will not spring-release and you will not get power.I had the machine humming and the software installed on my laptop in a single afternoon. I removed the duct for the built-in fan, I intend to use the machine mostly for cutting and not as much engraving. The optics needed cleaning and there was a very small adjustment to the focus, but otherwise I had my first piece of 1.5mm corrugated cardboard laser-cut by the morning of the next day.IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OPTICS, AS IN MIRRORS AND LENS, CLEAN AND IN FOCUS. -:- If you cannot cut most of the way through 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec cutting speed then you probably need to clean and focus the optics. -:- If you do not hear a crisp "sizzle" sound as the laser cuts the 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec then you probably need to clean and focus the optics -:- If you see excessive smoke and flame as the laser cuts the 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec, or it takes more than two passes, then you probably need to clean and focus the optics -:- If you see an excessive amount of charring and fine black ash on the edges after cutting 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec then you probably need to clean and focus the optics -:- If the optics are clean and in focus you should see a clean pencil-thin line and very little flame, charring or black ash when cutting 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec cutting speed, even after two passes. There will be some smoke, but it shouldn't be more than the built-in exhaust fan can handle, even with the top open. -:- Yes, there will be a very small amount of charring on the edges. That is just the nature of the beast. Small price to pay for such clean and accurate cutting, and no more craft knives!

IT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OPTICS, AS IN MIRRORS AND LENS, CLEAN AND IN FOCUS.
-:- If you cannot cut most of the way through 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec cutting speed then you probably need to clean and focus the optics.
-:- If you do not hear a crisp "sizzle" sound as the laser cuts the 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec then you probably need to clean and focus the optics
-:- If you see excessive smoke and flame as the laser cuts the 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec, or it takes more than two passes, then you probably need to clean and focus the optics
-:- If you see an excessive amount of charring and fine black ash on the edges after cutting 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec then you probably need to clean and focus the optics
-:- If the optics are clean and in focus you should see a clean pencil-thin line and very little flame, charring or black ash when cutting 1.5mm corrugated cardboard at 20% power and at 50mm/sec cutting speed, even after two passes. There will be some smoke, but it shouldn't be more than the built-in exhaust fan can handle, even with the top open.
