Pros & Cons
Creality Falcon2 22W
What we like
- Large 400×415mm work area
- Fast 25,000 mm/min rated speed
- Integrated, LightBurn-adjustable air assist
- Solid all-aluminum-alloy open frame
- Offline TF-card operation without a computer
Watch out for
- Open frame — no built-in enclosure (hood sold separately)
- No WiFi or camera
- Manual focus only
- Optional safety hood reportedly makes accessing the TF card slot awkward
Creality Falcon2 40W
What we like
- Most powerful open-frame Falcon2 diode array (8×5.5W)
- Cuts 20mm cork or thin 0.15mm stainless steel in a single pass
- Integrated, adjustable air assist
- Fast 25,000 mm/min rated speed
Watch out for
- Open frame at 40W is a real exposure risk without an added hood and glasses
- No camera or WiFi, manual focus only
- Price range overlaps confusingly with the enclosed Falcon2 Pro 22W
