Ortur Laser Master 2 Review

Welcome to my Ortur Laser Master 2 review, and as always I won’t bore you with the things you can read anywhere else, like what models are available and what the real laser power is, etc. You can get that info anywhere.

This is MY shakedown and I like to bring up the things the layman and weekend hobbyist might come up with.

First of all the cheapest place to buy one is Gearbest. You can get the top of the line (20 watt) for about $290. So I ordered one. And I waited and I waited and I waited and the status on Gearbest still showed it not being invoiced. A lot of people on a lot of forums were saying they waited for months.

You can however just order one on Amazon and have it in 2 days. This is what I eventually did. The downside is that it costs like $120 more. I can live with that.

Ortur YRR Rotary Setup

Ortur YRR Rotary Device

Picked up one of these Ortur YRR Rotary Rollers to supplement my Ortur Laser Master 2. There are a lot of videos online showing you how to assemble it as it comes in a kit form but not much information on how to make it work in software.

That’s why you have me.

I spent a couple days researching how to set it up and never really found an “AHA” video or webpage but after viewing a dozen or more items I had a good idea of what to do.

I’m going to set mine up in Lightburn which is a pay program ($60). If you have a GRBL laser cutter, Lightburn is worth every penny.
