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 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
