Falcon2 22W Diode Laser Engraver

first time laser user, so limited ability for comparison - but the creality falcon2 does seem to have a very nice build quality to the gantry frame and is beginner friendly with the unit already shipped mostly ready to go out of the box. I will say that i did find an issue wih making sure the x axis gantry arm is square to the frame, this does seem to be a very common issue but also easily correctable. i would recommend the enclosure for this machine however the venilation fan is woefully inadequate to do any real work at extracting the fumes. a comptuer fan just doesn't cut it so you would have to infest in something beefier in my opinion.
the unit comes at a nice pricepoint when on sale, and i found there are a few good accessory options as well, hopefully these will expanded on such as an extension frame etc down the track. would have been good if the unit came with the full scale honeycomb but this was purchased seperately. note: the honeycomb bed also has no positioning reference measurement markings etc so you have to do this part yourself or work out another thing like a wasteboard.

overall a good impression, value for money when compared to the operational capabilities of some similar machines on the market.

It’s a nice laser nice build and all. My issue is with the false securities people feel with the fake laser glasses they give you in the box. This laser is a 455 wavelength blue laser normally you use red laser glasses that’s rated for the wavelength. These are green and won’t work. If you wonder if the glasses will work rule of thumb if you can see the laser with the glasses on your eyes are not protected! These glasses also do not have a rating nor a wavelength range on them. Throw the supplied glasses away and get a real good rated set of laser glasses or goggles to protect your eyes

I'm still figuring this out, acylics are not so easy to cut and grave, only with be goodif you have a black paint on them, but I'd preferd a CO2 machine for this. I think creality it's great but need to get better results with this kind of machines

Bought this to do inlay. All I can say is WOW! Assembled, loaded lightburn software, got everything up and running then made this the same day! Far exceed my expectations, love playing with this machine, have so many ideas now wish I went for the 22 watt

The machine has everything you could expect from it and more!! Specially after reading dozens of reviews and warching hours of videos.
I am more than hapoy with the Falcon2 (a great upgrade from my former one).
The only things to consider: it doesn't come with the honyecomb base that it is advertised in Creality's ads, amd I've got only 3 samples of polywood, no metal sheet, papera nothing.
