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 app works flawlessly and it has been fun to learn how to engrave objects using this machine. You can size your images easily and the accuracy is perfect! It's a lot of fun! Speed on over to the buy button and try this thing out.

The media could not be loaded. I received this on 10/20 (I have managed only two successful projects out of seventeen tries.) The computer based program has never connected or functioned properly, I've only been successful with the phone app. and even with that there have been hiccups. Given what I have been able to accomplish with this device I doubt I'll be able to cut anything such as shapes, model parts. I also doubt I'll be able to make a shaded picture on my burn material.I started one project and the engraver started out fine, then stopped engraving but still ran the job. fan running flashing light (not necessarily the laser at full strength but blue just the same) and moving back and forth a down the length of the project area. Nothing happened to the phone, the machine wasn't moved or jostled - very odd.This has definitely been a learning curve for instance I started a project from a jpeg I had emailed to myself and saved to my phone (the computer program does not connect) This file produced the running of the job but not the burning of the image. I stopped the job, shut everything down restarted machine and phone, tried the same process again - same result. Then took a screen shot of the image and used that to run my project and it finally worked as intended. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Based on other reviews I knew there was a possibility of this machine being faulty - despite having learned some things, I'm still not sure if this is a faulty machine or something that has to be explored further to learn the ins and outs.The other project I tried to create was to engrave a logo into the rubberized barrel of a metal shafted pen, you know the type with a stylus on the clicky side. I created a make shift jig to keep the pen from rolling - found my image, line up the position (also a learning thing) start the process. I ran that job so many times I lost count. Still not sure if it just quit burning but kept running. but I rubbed more of the rubberized barrel off this pen with my bare finger than this engraver did in 3 passes, 5 passes up to 10 passes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ will continue to test through the return period to make sure I didn't blow $ on an over sized paperweight.The images are the two successful projects (which aren't even really that good) a still of the fouled project and a video of everything going except the burning.
