Hey everyone, just got a Falcon A1 5W (open frame) and I'm pretty lost – looking for tips & PCB advice!
Hey guys! I’m a total beginner to lasers and just picked up a Creality Falcon A1 (the 5W open version, no enclosure). I mostly got it to make PCBs, but honestly I'm having a hard time finding any solid guides or docs online for a newbie.
I was wondering if the 5W is actually good enough for PCBs in your experience? Also, what are the absolute must-have upgrades I should look into for this setup? Oh, and random question—I happen to have a spare Laser Tree Gold module sitting around, any chance that can be adapted to this machine or is it a complete headache?
If anyone has links to good beginner guides or tips, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
