The information provided in the manual is good with excellent information for a beginner. Fortunately, a PDF was provided after contacting support. Unfortunately, my ATOMSTACK A5 laser engraving machine did not include a technical manual. I’m not sure if there’s even a need for a 32-bit like in the case of 3D printers, because this laser engraver is a much simpler machine with only dual axis control.Īs with most of the laser engravers available on the market, the ATOMSTACK A5 uses GRBL, a popular open source firmware for laser engravers. While other laser boards made the jump to 32-bit, the LaserBox 1.0 still has an 8-bit chip in the form of the ATmega328P. Instead, the laser has a fixed position and to focus the laser, you use a 2mm acrylic included in the box to set the offset from the item you want engraved. It’s a diode laser operating in the 455 nm spectrum and it does not have a focus ring like other machines. The real power output of the laser is 5-5.5W. The laser included is rated to 20W but this is the electrical power input. LaserGRBL, LightBurn, support Win XP / Win 7 / Win 8 / XP / Win 10 system. Protect the user’s eyes and prevent pets from grabbing the laser spot.
