Creality 5W CV-Laser Module – Upgrade Kit

Engraving and cutting our ingenious designs through wood with lasers is just the type of awesome hobby that we’re all about as Makers. Like a mad scientist with a laser gun, you can blast absolutely beautiful wooden artwork, custom coasters, and bookmarks to life. This is all possible with laser engraving technology. But not all of us can afford a large high-powered laser cutting CNC machine that takes up most of our workshop tables. Instead, you can use Creality’s CV-Laser Module to upgrade your Ender 3 S1 printer with laser engraving capabilities.

This Creality CV-Laser Module Upgrade Kit is stocked for the Ender 3 S1 with a compatible mounting bracket and up to 5W cutting power. Included is also a power cord, protective glasses and 18 sheets of various colours for you to start experimenting. Creality has inbuilt a careful UV casing around the tip of the laser module to aid in minimalizing any residual laser beams for protecting eyes and skin while engraving. However, we highly recommend you always wear the protective glasses whenever the precise light of the CV-Laser is on, as exposure to this laser is harmful to the naked eye. Dust also tends to kick up while laser cutting your wooden sheets, and the CV-Laser effectively absorbs smoke and odour with the purifying inbuilt fan. The Creality CV-Laser is easily installed with a provided mounting plate and updated firmware available on the Creality website.

The Creality CV-Laser 5W Module can be set low for light elegant engravings or high for clean laser cutting. Before turning on your laser, you must flip the flexible build plate upside down on your Ender 3 S1 to show the spring steel side. The 5W laser can cut through 5mm basswood. This awesome CV-Laser Module is also suitable for engraving cardboard, wood, bamboo, leather or even fabrics with personalised designs. Magnetic strips are included to hold your wooded piece to the bed to prevent warping. If you’ve always wanted to get yourself an engraving and cutting machine, or if you are just looking for exciting modifications to upgrade your 3D Printer with, the Creality CV-Laser Module Upgrade Kit is a good quality yet inexpensive investment.

Although Creality 3D have been working within the industry since 2014, their addition of the Creality CR-10 series is what really catapulted them to the front line of competition, as it offered substantially better quality compared to other 3D printers – while simultaneously reducing the cost and complexities of the machines.

The quality of Creality’s 3D Printers and accessories shows through in their market history, with the brand selling around 3000 printers in their first year on the market, followed by about 10,000 sales over the next year. Now, Creality easily sells around 30,000 or more 3D printers each year, with sales continuously rising as they bring out more models. These are impressive numbers when considering the fact that they entered the industry as unknown competitors, quickly rising through the ranks and now even competing with Wanhao and similar top brands.

If you are looking for excellent 3D Printers that offer affordability without compromising on quality, Creality 3D is certainly a brand that you should take note of. From the basic Creality Ender 2 all the way up to the large build volume Creality CR-10 S5, there are few other brands who are capable of offering such a refined package while still maintaining some of the most enticing prices in the industry.
