OMTech Polar Desktop Laser SetUp: Is It Worth The Money?

Would you recommend this laser for a newbie just getting started I have looked at all of your videos about the glow forge, and this one here is more affordable for me but also the features are almost like the glow forge. Since I am a newbie, I’m hesitant of going on up to the thunder laser, it’s such a bigger machine. Thank you for your comments. I hope y’all have a wonderful, blessed day.

I just got a polar 350. Can you please tell me what settings you used (speed, power and DPI) when you ran your material test card. When I ran one, I only got 2 of the circles to cut all the way threw.

I love your video! I’m really looking into purchasing one of these but to keep in my workshop inside my home. What fume extractor do you recommend?

Thanks for the info. I can now make a better informed decission

Thank you for your video-I must have played it 10 times during setup. Im disappointed in my machine--the power key and back switch are useless and it stays on when I turn the key off, and if the switch on the back is off....not good. Also, the air assist isn't working out of the box-the fan isn't turning at all :(

can we get a tutorial on how to connect it to wifi??? PLEASE!

wish i could afford one of those, but 3000

Is this easier to clean versus the glowforge. Meaning like the air assist and such.

Love the video...my wife currently has the xtool d1 10w. She is considering upgrading to the OMtech Polar...Do you think this is an appropriate upgrade or should she just go up to the 60 or 80W machine? Just wondering what your thoughts are about this.

I cannot find the dot card file anywhere!

Difference between this and the 60w that is the same price as this? I think its model mf1624 60watt.

I followed your video all the way through but my test cut is only marking some of the circles and none of the outlined letters and only part print on the other words? Please please can you help me!

Hey guys awesome video, I just purchased one! Could you do a video on laser safety? Should I be wearing safety glasses? Do i have to wear them when looking through the lid of the engraver? Is it possible for the radiation to reflect out of the laser engraver?

After I input my settings to do the alignment test to engrave the pattern the start/pause button turns red and nothing happens? Now what?

Hey, I just received this laser and set up today what’s the best settings for engraving a silicone watch band I’m new to the laser world also I’m using 3mm basswood sample to cut a Watch jig what settings would you prefer?

Did anyone else get the "pattern NOT found" when trying to capture dot pattern? And if so, how did you solve this problem?

Once you put material in to cut. Does the camera just pick up the material and make sure where to center the image?

Machine cuts with lasers and probably shouldn’t stick fingers in to check air flow.

Not a parent but I think I cracked the code 😂

Can you tell me how wide the pass through is?

Bought one refurbed off ebay; pretty amazing for price but has some defeinte quirks.

1. Camera was meh at best; went back to custom via pvc tubing rack. no more cal nightmares.
2. Engrave speed on x-axis is limited to 200mm/s or 12,000mm/m. Not sure why? This means if you set anything higher it makes no difference.
3. Engrave speed on y-axis is 500mm/s; almost seems like you'd get a 50% performance boost if you rotate prints?

Great review! Did the mirrors come aligned from the factory?

Yes! I would love to see videos about how to market products and build a profitable business ❤

The exhaust system is inadequate. The omteCh engraver emits a strong odor and smoke during operation, creating an unpleasant working environment.

when trying to calibrate camera lens i don't show a camera lens to choose from other than my hp lens? How can I troubleshoot this and find the camera to calibrate? Thanks

My mane focus is want to cut clear acrylic, how bad is the smell, and usage

What do you recommend glowforge plus or omtech polar?

I am wanting to buy, but I have not fully made up my mind, I liked your video, will look for one with the rotary tool. Can you use a I-Pad or do you need a laptop?

I find it disappointing when reviewers don't respond to questions.

Is there something wrong with their arms?

Hi, a question: recharging or replace watercooling to omtech polar 350? Thanks

Great Video. Are there any followup videos now that it's been a year? I liked to see your thoughts after using it for a year. Thanks

be great to see some videos with the upgraded APC LensPro for Omtech Polar using all lenses for focal distance setup. The test file you provide doesn't seem to mark in places at all? not sure why. to cut 3mm bass wood I'm having to use 20/60! Your videos are so easy to listen to and great guides! keep up the great work.

I love mine! And I’ve learned sooo much!!

Where do I get camera dot file

Hey, can you do an engraving on metal video with this machine. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for making this video! I used it o setup my Omtech Polar this week... I have a question maybe someone can answer. I made the test file and Garrett said he changed the engrave settings. But, I don't know how to do that. I'm new in lightburn. My test card did not do well at all. Signed, So Confused

We believe that our laser has been damaged due to an impact, and the fuse might have blown because the laser won't turn on, nor does the small screen inside the polar light up. Does anyone know how to replace the fuse?

maybe your nails was the problem for calibrate but whatever

Thank you.
This video is a must see for setup.

Did you guys ever do the wifi set up video on this machine?

Do you need to protect your eyes?
