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

This is amazing laser for the price point. Extremely happy with the purchase. Have been able to engrave many materials with ease. A bit of learning curve coming from using a diode laser, but still easy to learn and use. The functionality, the size of the machine itself and speed all come together in this little unit. Space saving and quiet when running this laser will engrave just about anything you want!

This laser has been a great purchase. It’s well-built, performs exactly as expected, and overall I’ve been really satisfied with it. I did run into a minor issue with the column, but their customer service team handled it quickly and professionally—they’re sending out a replacement at no charge. It’s reassuring to know the support is there when you need it. Aside from that, the machine has worked really well and definitely feels like a solid investment. Incredibly fast, powerful and precise.

I'm new in this world, but after an intensive research I found this is the right laser engraving machine for all my needs, I bought also the two rotary attachments, one for rings and small objects and the other for tumblers.I've been trying engraving and cutting different materials like aluminum, stainless steel and black acrylic. The machine itself is super portable and the program is easy to use.

For a first fiber laser I’m very impressed with the results I’ve been able to get. Color on stainless steel, detailed engravings, high speed, and 2D carving capability. I would recommend this laser for anyone starting out or interested in fiber. I went straight to light burn instead of using the software provided.

It works when connected to pc, phone app does not work at all. Works with lightburn and their software provided. Not the most intuitive with its own software, for price would be nice for a more user friendly setup for various tasks and default materials. Easy for simple engravings but not intuitive for color engraving or depth engraving very steep learning curve

Looked great. Works great on simple marking, but you want color marking as shown in their photos or on their web site, forget it. Unless you have endless hours for trial and error trying to figure it out. Gweike support will offer no support other than to tell to keep trying.

The head is at an angle with no way to adjust only found out when I went to deep engrave a coin. And can not get the app to work still. Needs a better master list of settings for material

This laser was a bit of an impulse purchase. I'm a hobby machinist, and I thought it would be fun to be able to mark tools and projects. And I was right. I'm not sure what it is, but there's something about a galvo laser that's just a ton of fun. I think it's the speed. Whatever it is, I've enjoyed using this product, have made quite a few things, and have had only one minor issue. More about that below.As far as the product itself, I have no serious complaints. The printed instructions and videos available covered setup well, and I was able to get going with Lightburn (my software of choice) without any hiccups. I can't say I'm a huge fan of the motorized column for setting the focal length: the buttons are slightly awkwardly placed for my setup, and I think a hand crank would be both faster and more convenient, but they're completely usable as-is.I did a fair amount of comparison shopping before I bough the G2, and feel like it hits a great value/price point. This is my first laser, so I can't really compare it to anything else in terms of usage, but as I said I've run it a fair amount, including plain engraving on metal and some plastics, engraving some coins, engraving a bunch of slate coasters, engraving a ring for my wife, and a bunch of other experiments on things like the Norton White Tile method. Everything has performed well within my expectations.The one issue I've run into is with the rotary chuck, which I also purchased. For some reason, when I plug in the rotary, the lift motor on the laser head runs, raising the head and ruining the focus. This only happens when the rotary is plugged in. I contacted Gweike support, and they were responsive. The resolution was to unplug the motor for the head after setting focus. Not as good as a real fix, but it worked fine and really isn't too inconvenient. Hopefully there will be a firmware update or something at some point, but if not I can definitely live with it.Overall I am pleased, and would absolutely buy this again.
