Hansmaker sent me their F1 Pro fiber laser engraver for testing — but the user manual left a lot to be desired. I had to figure out the lens config, create the settings file myself, and troubleshoot software issues. In this video, I walk you through everything: from unboxing and setup, to engraving on various materials like steel, brass, anodized aluminum, 3D printed plastic, and even stone. I even tested the correct focus distance.

If you're thinking of buying this laser, or struggling to get it running, this review might help more than the actual manual.
