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

Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W

What we like

  • Built-in air assist pump
  • Expandable to 920×380mm with Y-extension kit
  • Good price-to-area ratio
  • Strong community and software support

Watch out for

  • Large footprint may not suit small workshops
  • No WiFi — USB only
  • Frame rigidity decreases at max extension
