Pros & Cons
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
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
