Current technologies are constantly moving forward by leaps and bounds, and what would have been pure science fiction twenty years ago is now a common reality. Of course, this does not only apply to mobile phones, laptops and artificial intelligence, but also to DIY. In earlier times, people made various useful household appliances at home in workshops on their knees or used a chisel to stamp out monograms on the gas tank of their motorbikes.
Today, this work has been conveniently replaced by 3D printers and engravers, or laser engraving machines. It is these two devices that have caused a revolution for all do-it-yourselfers that we will focus on in today’s article. It is thanks to the 3D printer that DIYers can print practically anything from action figures and various accessories for the workshop to new gadgets for the kitchen and home. At the same time, they can not only improve their creations with the help of an engraving machine, which can engrave a company logo, dedication, signature, quote, picture, etc. on many surfaces.
Engraver LC400 PRO
The engraver is actually a desktop diode laser and engraving plotter, which thanks to the latest technology can concentrate the light source to a point. This allows you to engrave the desired pattern into your object and replaces the once famous craft of engraving.
In particular, the LC400 PRO model boasts above-average accuracy when engraving figures up to 400 x 400 mm, which is a sufficient size for most required figures. You can use it on metal, wood, plastic, paper, bamboo, leather and more.
The power of the laser itself is 4.5 – 5.5 W, which makes it a powerful machine, but with ultra-fine precision with a deviation of ± 0.01 mm. This laser can engrave a fine pattern as well as cut practically anything. Safety is also considered here, which is why the engraver is equipped with a special shielding cover to protect the eyes from dangerous radiation.
If the laser is extremely loaded and there is a risk of overheating, a special fuse is activated, which stops the engraving. The laser will stop even if the engraver is hit externally. It is also worth noting the easy assembly, which an average experienced person should be able to do within 15 minutes. In addition, the LC400 PRO model has broad compatibility with standard and commonly used engraving software such as LaserGRBL, LightBurn, Benbox or GrblController.
You can now buy the LC400 PRO engraver with a -53% discount in the Cafago online store. It is sent as part of free shipping from neighboring Germany and will knock on your door in 3-5 working days.
3D printer FLSUN SR Delta
A 3D printer is an important helper for every do-it-yourselfer in the 21st century. In addition, the investment in it will soon pay for itself, since it can print many necessary things and objects for a fraction of the price, which is a valuable argument in the current inflation. Specifically, this FLSUN SR Delta model can print objects with a maximum size of 260 x 330 mm at a printing speed of 150-200 mm/s, which is several times faster than what is common in the current market.
The printer has a robust construction thanks to high-quality guide rails, thanks to which high-speed printing is also possible. What is also important for high-speed printing is proper heat dissipation, which in this case is taken care of by three fans. A long service life is also ensured by the 10 mm belt, which boasts higher resistance.
The surface on which the print is applied is glass, which allows not only better heating of the entire surface, but also easier removal of the resulting model. Of course, a 3D printer must also have a color touch screen or a fuse against power failure.
Immerse yourself in the bottomless world of 3D printing and take advantage of the ongoing -52% discount in the Cafago online store. However, only a limited number of pieces were included in this discount, so take a look, whether you still have a piece left. Within free shipping you can expect your 3D printer for 3-5 working days since order.
