Pros & Cons
AlgoLaser DIY KIT MK2 10W Smart Enclosed
What we like
- Enclosed for safer, quieter indoor operation
- Same fixed 10W module as the open-frame MK2
- Rotary compatible
Watch out for
- Much heavier than the open-frame MK2 (enclosure adds significant weight)
- No smart features — still a manual-focus GRBL machine
- Priciest DIY KIT MK2 configuration
LaserPecker LP2
What we like
- Compact and light — 1.748kg total including stand and cover
- 0.05mm engraving accuracy and up to 2K photo resolution
- Tilting laser head engraves beveled and angled surfaces
- Versatile Electric Roller accessory adds rotary and 2m trolley modes
- Budget-friendly entry point into the LaserPecker ecosystem
Watch out for
- No cutting capability — engraving only
- Bluetooth only — no WiFi, and PC connection needs a separate dongle accessory
- Slow 600mm/s speed and 5W power compared to the newer LP2 Plus
- No enclosure — safety goggles required
- Diode-only — no IR module option despite handheld form factor some buyers expect dual-laser from
