Diode Laser Creality Beginner Friendly
Creality CR-Laser Falcon 5W
$119
approximate street price The CR-Laser Falcon 5W is Creality's original, oldest-generation open-frame diode engraver — the budget entry point below the A1 and Falcon2 lines. It is rated Class 4 (FDA), a step down in beam safety from the enclosed Class 1 models elsewhere in the lineup, so laser safety glasses (sold separately) are effectively required. Cuts up to 3mm basswood in a single pass with a fine 0.06×0.06mm spot.
