ACMER S1 Portable Laser Engraver Mini Machine

A Good Experiment Machine

The S1 is a great machine when you want to start out and learn the ropes of engraving and software use. It is very well priced and easy to set up and you can get going in about 10 minutes. What lets it down however is the lack of addons (air assist, enclosure etc) that would make those intial first steps easier and give the user a bit more confidence stepping up to a bigger machine.

Great quality

Works really well with no faults so far. Used for a few jobs and has great detail even when engraving smaller than 3mm

Can’t fault it for the price

As a total newcomer to lasers this was a steep learning curve getting to grips with the laser and software and design. After a couple of weeks I’m getting the hang of it and enjoying it. The laser came well packaged and easy to set up. I went for the 6w machine as you can always use less power but not more. It’s a steep learning curve and I’m still in the bottom quarter but I’d recommend the the machine as a good starting point for those new to the game
