And as always, the quality and versatility that <strong>LaserPecker<\/strong> has accustomed us to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 3Dwork we&#8217;ve had access to an LX2 unit for several weeks, with the 40W diode heads and the IR 2W module. The results have surprised us in some ways, with points for improvement. We analyze everything without filters: what works very well, what can still be polished, and how the LX2 fits into the LaserPecker range compared to the LP5 we already tested in depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, before continuing, remember that you can join our community on the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/impresion3d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">3Dwork Telegram channel<\/a>, full of makers passionate about laser, 3D printing and CNC.

Unlike the LP5 or LP4, <strong>the LX2 is designed to stay on the desk<\/strong>: steel frame, robust linear rails, lid-closing system and full Class 1 enclosure. It is, in essence, a different proposition within the brand&#8217;s catalogue&#8230; and in our opinion, a necessary one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LaserPecker LX2 - The All-in-One Laser Cutter\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-_tU9gWhCnc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we talk about a <strong>laser engraver\/cutter with a 500&#215;305 mm working volume, <\/strong>we picture an enormous machine, but LaserPecker has done an exceptional job with this LX2.

If you absolutely need to cut it, <strong>paint it black on both sides first<\/strong>, but the result may not always be as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To cut 3 mm, make sure the focus is perfect. If the laser doesn&#8217;t go through in the first pass, lower the head <strong>1 mm<\/strong> towards the material for the second pass. Also, acrylic smells very strongly when cut, so make sure to have your LX2&#8217;s extractor\/filter system running at full power or work in a very well-ventilated area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leather cutting\/engraving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We continued with <strong>3 mm leather cuts: perfect cut in 1 pass, clean edges and without excessive burns<\/strong>.

Fume extraction or working in a well-ventilated space is required, especially with materials like wood or acrylic that generate fumes during cutting.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does the IR 2W module engrave the same as a fiber laser?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not equivalent. The LX2&#8217;s IR 2W allows black marking on metals and color annealing with very good results for a maker or creative studio. However, the fiber 20W module available for the LP5 offers more power and speed in metal engraving, being more suitable for series or harder materials. For metal jewelry projects, deep steel engraving or repetitive metal part production, the fiber 20W gives better results. For versatile use combining metal and wood in a single machine, the LX2&#8217;s IR 2W is a very valid option.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can the LaserPecker LX2 be used without a PC, only with a mobile phone?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LX2 is entirely controlled from the LDS software, available both on PC\/Mac and on the LaserPecker mobile app. In theory, it can be operated from a mobile device via WiFi, although for projects with complex designs or requiring high precision, the larger PC screen experience is much more comfortable. The machine has no screen or physical controls beyond the power button.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What materials CANNOT be cut or engraved with the LX2?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 40W diode module does not work well on highly reflective materials at the blue wavelength (450 nm), such as uncoated polished aluminium or copper. The IR 2W module handles some of these materials better for engraving, but cutting reflective metals is not possible with any of the available modules. Working with materials that emit toxic gases when burned, such as PVC, polycarbonate or chlorine-containing materials, is also not recommended. Always consult the LaserPecker materials guide before working with a new material.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How much desk space does the LaserPecker LX2 take up?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The physical footprint is 779.5 \u00d7 609.2 mm, with a height of 281 mm when closed. In practical terms, it occupies approximately 80 \u00d7 61 cm of desk space, which is considerable. You must also factor in space for the power cable, the ventilation outlet for the fume extractor, and working space around the machine to handle materials. This is not a machine designed for small spaces.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can the LX2&#8217;s work area be expanded over time?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 500\u00d7305 mm cutting and engraving area is fixed by the gantry frame size. What can be expanded is the free height under the head using the Riser Base (up to 150 mm), allowing work with bulkier objects. The future 60W module, which has been announced but is not yet available, can be installed on the same machine without additional modifications thanks to the interchangeable module system.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-box stk-block-icon-box stk-block stk-79a3cc6\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"79a3cc6\"><style>.stk-79a3cc6 {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;}.stk-79a3cc6-container{background-color:#fff6f0 !important;}.stk-79a3cc6-container:before{background-color:#fff6f0 !important;}.stk-79a3cc6 .stk-block-icon-box__content{padding-top:16px !important;padding-right:16px !important;padding-bottom:16px !important;padding-left:16px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-block-icon-box__content stk-container stk-79a3cc6-container stk-hover-parent\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-29a585b\" data-block-id=\"29a585b\"><style>.stk-29a585b {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-8a30750\" data-block-id=\"8a30750\"><style>.stk-8a30750 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child, .stk-8a30750 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g, path, rect, polygon, ellipse){fill:#ff6900 !important;}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-8a30750\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-8-a-30750-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-8-a-30750-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M569.517 440.013C587.975 472.007 564.806 512 527.94 512H48.054c-36.937 0-59.999-40.055-41.577-71.987L246.423 23.985c18.467-32.009 64.72-31.951 83.154 0l239.94 416.028zM288 354c-25.405 0-46 20.595-46 46s20.595 46 46 46 46-20.595 46-46-20.595-46-46-46zm-43.673-165.346l7.418 136c.347 6.364 5.609 11.346 11.982 11.346h48.546c6.373 0 11.635-4.982 11.982-11.346l7.418-136c.375-6.874-5.098-12.654-11.982-12.654h-63.383c-6.884 0-12.356 5.78-11.981 12.654z\"\/><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8b6ceee\" id=\"strong-strong-strong-sobre-nuestra-metodologia-de-review-de-productos-strong-strong-strong\" data-block-id=\"8b6ceee\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong><strong><strong>ABOUT OUR PRODUCT REVIEW METHODOLOGY<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0bc9426\" data-block-id=\"0bc9426\"><style>.stk-0bc9426 {border-top-left-radius:0px !important;border-top-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">This <strong>LaserPecker LX2 review was carried out with a machine provided by LaserPecker<\/strong>.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-b4ca971\" data-block-id=\"b4ca971\"><style>.stk-b4ca971 {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>LaserPecker<\/strong> provided us with this machine without influencing the content in any way.
