How to make gadgets with a laser engraver: we tested the Falcon2 Pro

Have you ever thought about creating your own personalized gadgets? A laser engraver like Creality’s Falcon2 Pro can transform simple materials into unique and useful items, perfect for gifts, decorations or even starting a small creative business. After trying it we can tell you what you can really do with this tool, going beyond the technical specifications to focus on practical results.

What materials can be engraved?

The first question we asked ourselves is: what does it cut and what does it really affect? With the 40W module (the most powerful available):

It can handle cutting wood up to a thickness of 15mm, ideal for sturdier projects, but can also make light engravings in paper and card thanks to the ability to precisely adjust the laser power and head speed. Furthermore, this machine supports engraving on metallic materials, expanding the creative and application possibilities for those who want to create personalized objects, decorations or professional prototypes. Flexible parameter adjustment makes this tool suitable for both delicate work and more complex and resistant projects.

The true test of a tool lies in its daily use. In our testing journey, we focused on two seemingly simple projects: a puzzle and a keychain. These creations allowed us to test the potential of the machine, beginner-friendly.

We chose to purchase a third-party kit, complete with wooden, metal supports and other objects ideal for experimenting with different engraving techniques.

The greenMe puzzle

Our first project was a custom puzzle, we started by creating the digital graphics, then printed and glued onto a rough wooden support. After calibrating the machine, specifically the built-in camera, we imported a vector image of the puzzle and overlaid it on the printed artwork. Once the positioning was done, we started cutting following the instructions of the Live to Born software.

The machine demonstrated excellent speed: for a puzzle measuring 20 x 20 cm the processing time was approximately 15 minutes, while for a smaller one (15 x 15 cm) 10 minutes were enough. We obtained a precise result with attention to every detail.

For our second project, we engraved the logo on two wooden key rings. Although the millimetric alignment required a little patience and precision, the result was very satisfactory, especially considering that it was the first experience.

The machine proved to be precise in managing the engraving, guaranteeing a clear and well-defined design. It was an excellent opportunity to test the positioning functionality of the laser and to better understand the tolerance margin required when machining such small objects.

What projects can be carried out and who is it recommended for?

With the Falcon2 Pro, the creative possibilities expand enormously, offering opportunities for customized projects suited to different needs. For hobbyists and crafters, this machine is a versatile tool for bringing to life unique items such as personalized wooden puzzles, home decor such as wall clocks or key chains, as well as acrylic jewelry and accessories. Even personalized packaging becomes simple to create, a significant advantage for those who manage small businesses. Furthermore, engraving allows you to create commemorative plaques and signs with precise and refined details.

For small businesses, the Falcon2 Pro proves to be a valuable resource for expanding their customized product offering. It is ideal for producing illuminated acrylic signs, personalizing leather goods and even making bespoke rubber stamps. Furthermore, it can be used to create product labels and specific decorations for shop windows, making each environment or object distinctive and unique.

Finally, for makers and designers, the machine opens the doors to rapid and precise prototyping. You can create detailed architectural models, components for complex projects and even airbrushing templates. This versatility makes the Falcon2 Pro an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to combine creativity and technological precision in their work or hobbies.

What we learned

The experience with the Falcon2 Pro gave us several positive surprises. The integrated camera has proven critical for precise positioning of designs, virtually eliminating material waste. The air filtration system, integrated into the closed structure, made working pleasant even in confined spaces, a non-negligible aspect for those who work from home.

Not everything was perfect: the workspace places limits on the size of projects, and the software takes time to fully master. But they are limitations which, with practice, become ideas for finding creative solutions.

For those who want to get started, the advice is to start with simple projects. A gradual approach allows you to familiarize yourself with the different variables at play: laser power, cutting speed, type of material. Our best results came after creating a series of test samples, documenting the parameters used for each material.
