What else do i need to run this machine? Thanks
The Basic kit looks like it only includes the engraver. I would suggest eye protection. A way to vent the fumes from the work area. A honeycomb bed, and air assist to help with cutting(often will have scorch marks on what you are engraving/cutting). And as one other person mentioned, the software Lightburn. The free trial does not have any restrictions other than the amount of time it can be used. The more expensive kits look like they come with some of these things.

You will also need some things to engrave. Amazon is a decent place for thin cork sheets, thin wood for engraving/cutting, and slate for coasters or small signs.

Lasers are about the only thing Creality makes that aren't complete garbage. I will never buy another 3D printer from them after this whole K2 Plus CFS garbage they sold. Such a POS.

Quote from Caspertoo :
It might be able to do aluminum but it will be limited to flat surfaces on polymer, the curve of a front handguard for a longer pewpew is going to be tough due to the curve of them. Polymer should be no problem as long as it is flat. I read that there is a learning curve to it and the software that comes with it is, a bit difficult to use, but Lightburn is a much easier to use program.
I was looking at this for aluminum and steel but from what I read you need a 20w laser engraver for most metals.
This is a diode laser. The wavelength is not suitable for metals at all, even when used with a 60-100W module. Diode lasers are good for wood or opaque polymers (Need CO2 for clear ones). To engrave or cut metals you need a Fiber or UV laser.

Thanks a lot for your explanation.

I was able to stack CFNY10 and WELCOME5 and got the 10w version for $170 before tax.

I've been interested to give a laser engraver a shot. 5 watts obviously have some limits, but as someone who's casually looked at these things a bit, this seems like a very good deal, and so I bought one. Thanks!

I just watched a video where the guy 3D printed blank labels then printed text with a laser engraver. Results were pretty impressive.

It won't engrave but it will discolor the metal. I have a 10W diode laser much like this one and used it to create custom stainless steel hip flasks for friends. I had good results but actually prefer to use the painted matte black ones so I am using the laser to remove the paint to create the design.

The video shows it engraving on metal, small thin sheet, cat tag "Dog tag" Or are they misrepresenting their product? 🤔

Would this be powerful enough to cut/engrave to be able to do most of these models/projects or is it too weak/wrong type to get these kinds of tasks done?

Could you give the link or channel name? This sounds like an interesting endeavor
