GWEIKE G2 Pro 30W Fiber Laser Engraver with 3D & Deep Engraving, 15000mm/s Fast Laser Engraver Machine, 150x150mm Working Area, Portable Laser Marking Machine for Jewelry, Metal, Leather, Dog Tags

For a 30 watt fiber laser this is a darn good buy. I've been using it for a few days and am very impressed. I had been using a OLM3 10 watt diode laser that really does work good, but the fiber is so much better and faster for engraving/marking on metal. The main use for a laser is marking logo, name, etc on the knife blade since I do custom knives.The laser has a free GLaser software package that works for the laser. The learning curve for GLaser is pretty steep and could do with a better tutorial, both written and YouTube video. LightBurn ver 1.7 and newer also support the laser but that comes with a $200 price tag. I'm not sure which software I'll use longterm, I'm still on the 30 day trial version of LB.Tech support for the Gweike G2 Pro is outstanding, very responsive to emails. I was told by aftermarket sells that If you're a user of WhatsApp they will setup a group so you can contact tech support 24/7 to help with any facet of issues you might have.One big thing that would help is a chart of settings for different materials i.e. Stainless Steel, brass, copper, etc for simple engraving of text. They have a chart for Vector Graphics, and pictures, but those don't seem to be suitable for simple text.My biggest single issue was getting a driver for Windoz - there should be a link on the website under support that clearly says "USB windows driver" - I guess the same driver would work for all the different fiber lasers? I finally found the driver on the included flash drive, but it was an .exe file named something totally unrelated to the Gweike G2 laser. Once I figured that out, it was an easy connection.Yep, this got a bit long winded - but it's a good buy.Ken H>

I gave four stars due to the G2 pro manual is weak when it comes to that it has no user guide in it on how to navigate through the system window. I had to watch lots of videos on u-tube and learn it all myself. other than that, it should have a grid chart with specs in the manual on using different materials. it has no button in the laser window to pick what material I'm engraving on when making a guide grid. but the laser engraver does everything it says it can do and fast once I got laser secrets light burn library from Etsy for $26.

The first one had problems but Ikier sent me a replacement. that solved all the problems I had with the first one if and when I decide to upgrade will definitely consider Ikier
