Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better, the Longer Ray5 or Sculpfun S6 Pro?

It depends on your use case. Longer Ray5 is 5W diode. Sculpfun S6 Pro is 6W diode. See the decision guide and side-by-side specs above.

What materials can both the Longer Ray5 and Sculpfun S6 Pro cut or engrave?

Both machines have community-tested settings for 27 shared materials. The settings table above lists every material with side-by-side speed, power, passes, and air assist values for direct comparison.

Is the Sculpfun S6 Pro (6W) much faster than the Longer Ray5 (5W)?

Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The Sculpfun S6 Pro (6W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the Longer Ray5 (5W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
