Acmer P1 S Pro Laser Review, This One Setting Makes It Much Better
The Acmer P1 S Pro is a 6W diode laser engraver, but it turns out this ...
The Acmer P1 S Pro is a 6W diode laser engraver, but it turns out this machine is actually better than the manufacturer claims! In this in-depth Acmer P1 S ...Pro review, I show you which setting you should change immediately to get sharper engravings and better results than the manual recommends.

In this video, I take a detailed look at the Acmer P1 S Pro 6W laser engraver, including assembly, build quality, safety, software compatibility, and real engraving performance. But most importantly, I explain why the recommended DPI in the manual is not optimal, and how adjusting this setting really improves engraving quality.
What you will learn in this video:
- Why the Acmer P1 S Pro is better than the manual suggests
- The correct DPI settings for the 6W diode laser
- How dot size affects engraving sharpness and photo quality
- A practical defocus trick for faster engraving without loss of quality
- Build quality pros and cons including frame rigidity and roller alignment
- Safety considerations for open-frame diode lasers
- Compatibility with LightBurn and LaserGRBL
- Real-world engraving results on wood and anodized aluminum
The Acmer P1 S Pro uses a 6W blue diode laser with a very fine spot size, which allows for much higher engraving detail than the default 318 DPI suggested by Acmer. By adjusting the DPI to 363 DPI, photo engravings become noticeably sharper with smoother gradients and better detail separation.
This laser engraver is aimed at demanding hobby users and small businesses who want high engraving quality without spending thousands on an enclosed Diode laser. While it lacks enclosure and fume extraction, the engraving performance for the price is genuinely impressive.
Safety note:
Always use proper laser safety glasses rated for 445nm blue diode lasers with at least OD3 protection. Never rely solely on magnetic shrouds or included accessories.

ACMER S1 Laser Engraver Review – Ultra Sharp Engraving Under $150

https://makerworld.com/nl/models/2204943-acmer-s1-modular-positioning-cable-management
In this review I test the ACMER S1 laser engraver and compare it directly to one of ...my professional 24W diode laser engravers.
Despite its very low price, the ACMER S1 delivers extremely sharp engraving results thanks to its ultra small laser spot size of just 0.04 to 0.06mm, depending on the model.
In terms of engraving detail and precision, this compact desktop diode laser performs far beyond what you would normally expect from Diode lasers in general, and especially in this price range.
The ACMER S1 is available in 2.5W, 3.5W and 6W versions.
In this video I test the 6W version, but I also explain why the lower power versions can actually be even sharper when it comes to fine detail engraving, single line fonts and line drawings.
If your main goal is engraving small objects, thin materials or highly detailed designs, this laser engraver is a very interesting option.
This is a small, lightweight and portable open frame diode laser engraver with a working area of 130 x 130 mm. It connects via USB and works with popular laser software such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. Because of its compact size, the ACMER S1 fits easily on a desk and can even be used on location with a laptop and a suitable 12V power source.
This video focuses primarily on engraving quality.
While the ACMER S1 is technically capable of light cutting with enough passes, this is not a cutting laser. If you are mainly looking for cutting thick wood or acrylic, this is not the right machine.
The real strength of the ACMER S1 is high precision laser engraving.
I also discuss important safety considerations.
The ACMER S1 is an open frame diode laser and lacks features such as a tilt switch, fire detection and an emergency stop. This means the laser should never be left unattended.
In the video I explain these limitations honestly and show how I personally work with this machine in a safe way.
To improve usability and safety, my son and I designed several practical 3D printed accessories, including a print bed and alignment tools.
These files are available for free via my MakerWorld account and can help you get more accurate and consistent engraving results.
If you are interested in fine detail engraving, single line fonts, small text, logos, names or personalized items, the ACMER S1 laser engraver delivers outstanding results for its price.
Even when compared to a much more powerful 24W diode laser, the engraving sharpness of the ACMER S1 is truly impressive.

Perfect 3D Scan Alignment for CAD (Stop wasting time!)
Struggling with crooked 3D scans in Fusion 360 or other CAD software? ...
Struggling with crooked 3D scans in Fusion 360 or other CAD software? In this video, I show you the most efficient workflow to get a perfect 3D scan alignment for ...CAD using tools you already own.
While the new Creality Scan 4 1.5.13 update introduced an alignment feature, it’s often faster and more precise to use a 3D slicer for your orientation. Whether you use Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, or Creality Print, I’ll demonstrate why your slicer is actually a powerful coordinate correction tool.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
How to fix the orientation of a Creality Scan 4 mesh for better CAD integration.
Why a slicer provides better flat bases and automatic mesh repair than the native scanner software.
The step-by-step process of exporting a scan to Fusion 360 with the correct origin.
A side-by-side comparison between Creality's new alignment tool and the slicer-based method.
This "Any Slicer" method is a game-changer for anyone doing reverse engineering or 3D scanning for 3D printing who wants to save time and improve accuracy.
⚠️ Important Note: This method is perfect for visual alignment and statues. For professional engineering that requires true world-coordinate or origin referencing, please check my dedicated deep-dive video linked below!
Learn how to orient your scan in Fusion here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDD7NwLf_q8
Tools Used:
3D Scanner: Creality Raptor Series (but this goes for ANY scanner)
Software: Creality Scan 4 (v1.5.13)
Slicers: Bambu Studio / Orca Slicer / Creality Print / Etc.
CAD: Autodesk Fusion

Bambu Lab Part Cooling Fan Exploded – What Really Happened Inside?
If your Bambu Lab printer has a broken part cooling fan, and shows the ...
If your Bambu Lab printer has a broken part cooling fan, and shows the error “0300-3100-0001-0001” or “part cooling fan stopped,” this video explains what causes it and why not ...to ignore it.
At first, the printer itself showed this error on screen, but nothing appeared inside Bambu Studio, and all my prints came out perfectly fine.
So I ignored it… until I found small pieces of black plastic inside my prints and later on my print bed.
After investigating, I discovered that my part cooling fan had literally exploded inside the housing! The fan was still spinning (or at least felt like it was), but the blades were completely gone.
According to the official Bambu Lab Wiki this error can mean:
- The fan is stuck by debris or filament strings
- The connector is loose
- The fan itself is broken
In my case, the fan motor worked — but the blades disintegrated, probably due to a small piece of filament getting inside.
If you ever see this error, don’t ignore it — check your part cooling fan carefully with good lighting and listen for rattling sounds.
