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 Plus
What we like
- 4,000mm/s engraving speed — 6x faster than the base LP2
- 10W diode cuts 6mm basswood or black acrylic in a single pass
- WiFi connectivity (vs. Bluetooth-only on the base LP2)
- Fine 0.06×0.08mm laser spot for detailed engraving
- Broad SpinTrack/Rotary/Slide accessory ecosystem for expanded work areas
Watch out for
- Small 100×100mm base work area without accessories
- No built-in camera or autofocus — manual dual red-dot focusing
- No air assist nozzle — relies on an exhausting fan for smoke clearance
- Class 1 safety requires the optional Standard Enclosure accessory
