Just wondering if anyone has heard any rumour or news of a 70/80w laser module coming from Snapmaker? Most of the competition have now had these out for a while, so I would have thought it was at least in the pipeline. . Is there technical limits in the power supply design and distribution on thi…

Im not sure true 80w laser diodes are available to the public (though I’m sure they exist in various R&D labs right now). Now, there are laser machines/laser heads that are marketed as 80w, but if you read the descriptions you’ll find that they consume 80w and output between10w to 20w. It’s dishones…

I believe that both Creality and X-Tool have 80w lasers in the pipeline, but my google-fu is failing me to find references. I did find a 60w Falcon from Creality ( https://store.creality.com/au/products/creality-falcon2-pro-60w ), but at a morbidly expensive price. Maybe the power losses of combini…

Yeah that 60w laser is very expensive. For that kind of money you can definitely start looking at CO2 lasers. There’s probably a good reason why 80w lasers (the diode variety) aren’t a thing right now, the cost would probably be astronomical, not to mention the size of the laser module would be quit…

Thanks for sharing, I truly appreciate that. That thing looks like a beast. Not quite 80w, but it’s close.

Agreed. I put 70/80w in the post (not title), as I’m aware that the diode combining that happens in these modules leads to losses, and I suspect that those that are 80w are that at the diodes (8x10 or 16x5, or whatever), but the effective output at the lens is then ~70watt, as the reliable(ish) rese…

Just out of couriosity: What are your use cases for such a beast? I personally stick with the 10W, since it does all I need and/or the price of the 20/40 W lasers is too high to be justified for the very rare occasions I can imagine I might benefit from more power. But perhaps that’s my lack of crea…

I know you’re asking the original poster, but a reason why I might want more power is for cutting down the time it takes to run a cutting/engraving job. For example a 10w laser can usually cut through 3mm thick black acrylic in one pass at a feedrate of 100mm to 125mm per minute. A 40w laser would b…

So far I have only done my PCB tests - based on that I’d say: Good: Tiny focal point → will allow filigree engravings Focus lever method easy and effective IR wavelength opens up new possibilities Bad: 2W is not too much for PCB - I was hoping for a faster process, but admittedly was expecting…

You’re not going to be running a small business with a Snapmaker laser, that can’t even cut clear acrylic. You won’t be in business very long. LOL. Someone needs to figure out a diode laser that can do clear.

Is there an 80w LED laser coming?

PCB isolation routing is very slow, and if you’ve epoxy based PCB, it leaves soot that spoils the insulation - see here: 2W laser first test: PCB does work (with restrictions & slow...)!
