What we like
- Widest power range of the DIY KIT family (8W/15W/20W)
- Newest generation — likely incorporates build-quality refinements over MK2
- Rotary compatible
- Competitively priced for the power on offer
Watch out for
- Newly released — limited independent long-term reviews available
- Exact speed, connectivity, and camera specs not confirmed from AlgoLaser's text content — verify before publishing
- Open frame, no enclosure standard
Creality Falcon A1 10W
What we like
- Fully enclosed Class 1 design with air assist and a positioning camera included standard
- Fast CoreXY motion at 600mm/s (36,000mm/min)
- Cuts 6mm wood or 10mm acrylic in a single pass
- Compatible with LightBurn, LaserGRBL, and Falcon Design Space
Watch out for
- Manual focus only — autofocus is reserved for the A1 Pro

- 305×381mm work area is modest for an enclosed machine at this price
- Single diode laser only — no IR/metal-marking module option
