The Ortur Aufero Laser 2 is a 10W diode laser engraver. This page lists 54 community-tested settings covering speed, power, passes, air assist, and DPI across a range of materials. Always run a test cut on scrap material first: results vary depending on your material batch, focus, and ambient conditions.
What materials can the Ortur Aufero Laser 2 engrave or cut?
The Ortur Aufero Laser 2 has community-tested settings for Cardstock, Basswood, 3mm Basswood Plywood, 3mm MDF, Genuine Leather, Slate, Anodized Aluminum, Cork 3mm, and 23 more. Results vary by material batch, focus, and ambient conditions: always test on scrap first.
What settings should I use to cut 3mm Basswood Plywood on the Ortur Aufero Laser 2?
A community-tested starting point is speed 200 mm/min, power 100% in 3 passes. Enable air assist for a cleaner edge. Always run a test cut on scrap to confirm before committing to your project.
Can the Ortur Aufero Laser 2 engrave metal?
Diode lasers can mark anodized aluminium, coated metals, and powder-coated surfaces without any spray. For bare steel, brass, or copper you need a marking compound like Cermark or Dry Moly. Fiber lasers mark bare metal directly without any coating.
