Re: Choosing a laser engraver.... (updated for 2025!)
What’s up—Justin here, checking in from 2025. 👋
This video is still making the rounds, so I went back through it myself. Good news: the core takeaways and pros/cons are still on point. But since things move fast in this space, here are my updated laser recommendations for each category.
Diode Lasers-
Longer Ray5 5w: https://amzn.to/4gGliP4 (Super Cheap. Absolute entry level)
Creality Falcon A1 Pro: https://amzn.to/4pJGTuc
xTool S1 (20w or 40w): https://geni.us/xTool-S1-Laser
xTool S1 (Amazon Link): https://amzn.to/473oobN
Keep your dang eyes safe!: https://amzn.to/48zHHLU
Desktop CO2-
xTool P2S: https://geni.us/xTool-P2 (I still use my P2 to this day. This is the upgraded version)
xTool P2S (Amazon Link): https://amzn.to/3Kk5PIB
xTool P3: https://geni.us/the-xtool-p3 (The newest model, an absolute BEAST!)
Mid Range CO2-
OMTech 60w 16" x 24": https://amzn.to/4pNnlVS (Auto-focus, water chiller, good bed space. Really good price to get started).
Fiber Laser-
Commarker B4: https://amzn.to/3IGfgl3 (Entry level, get your feet wet)

xTool F2 Ultra: https://geni.us/the-xtool-f2-ultra (If you want to stay in the xTool environment and need a fiber, this is your pick!)
Again, keep your dang eyes safe!: https://amzn.to/48zHHLU
K40s-
Still trash, dont buy.
