Pros & Cons
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
xTool M2 Color Craft 20W
What we like
- Industry-first: diode laser + CMYK inkjet color printing in one enclosed machine
- Dual cameras and ACS for automatic material detection and placement
- 20W diode handles wood, acrylic, leather, and fabric
- Optional 3W IR module adds metal engraving capability
- Beginner-friendly enclosed design — safe for home or office
Watch out for
- CMYK inkjet module is an optional add-on (extra cost)
- Color print area (300×294mm) smaller than laser work area (426×320mm)
- Diode laser produces inferior cut edges on acrylic vs CO2
- New 2025 product — long-term reliability unproven
