The pop-up asks for Engrave or Cut (it canвЂ™t do both at once) and hit the вЂњStartingвЂќ button. Then I open it up in LaserDRW and send it over. I do my work in AI or Inkscape and save as/export as either a BMP or DXF file if itвЂ™s something I may use on other lasers (I use the K40 for smaller stuff or for scaled down versions of something as I test designs).

When it arrives we start on the next article in the series вЂ“ inspecting and installing the machine.Also, have you found any other software that will work that is easier/more user friendly? Right now the seller has just shipped it and i expect it to be delivered within 10 day, or around December 10 at latest. I was asked if a seller could sponsor me with a machine but i rather want to make it the ordinary way вЂ“ as you would do, and experience any issues and problems you might experience for myself. I want this article series to reflect a buying experience you, me and others can relate to. I have been doing business with most of the bigger sellers and they know me due to this website, so i choose a seller i never dealt with before to make sure i donВґt get any special treatment from earlier business with them. I was looking around on Aliexpress to find a good option. If the seller doesnВґt support DHL or TNT or similar quicker shipping options, ask them вЂ“ or look for another seller. Some sellers ship it to your closest harbor, you have to pick it up and pay the custom feeВґs upon pickup вЂ“ check this before!Д¬hoosing DHL or TNT is a good choice, you know when and how quick you get it! Many sellers has вЂњsellers shipping optionвЂќ and similar, it does not say anything on how quick it will ship or if itВґs delivered by camel, air or boat. Focus on other things the reviews mentions, for a example how they helped buyers with issues. Most negative reviews are about damages in shipping, this is often not the sellers fault and can happen to anyone. The K40D is pricier but it has much better hardware, we wonВґt go in to details about the K40D in this article. What is a good price?ДЄ K40 often has pricing from 200-250 USD and up, you can find it cheaper on Black Friday and closer to Christmas. Choose what you like, there is no benifit from choosing a machine with lighting than without, you have to re-wire it anyways if you want to stay safe. Other addons: Lights, buttons, emergency stop, wheels and other addons vary between sellers. You want support for CorelDraw or NewlyDraw. There is a lot of different versions of the K40.Д¬ase/box: There is 3-4 different chassies/cases for the machine, they are similar in volume and only the outside is different.Д¬ontroller: Do NOT buy a machine where Moshi, MoshiDraw, LdDraw is presented вЂ“ this is a old controller and really slow. When you import it yourself you are responsible, and that is what this article series is all about helping you with вЂ“ minimizing the risk and damages that might occur from the K40 machine, itВґs really dangerous in the state it is in on delivery. By EU laws the seller is responsible for the machine fulfilling the regulations around safety and function. If you buy it locally from a seller in your country, make sure they have fixed the electric in the machine. I suggest using Ebay, Aliexpress or Amazon. Set a max-price you want to pay, of course lower is better but sometimes itВґs valuable to pay a few extra tens of dollars to get it delivered quicker. Think about color and add-onВЁs, do you need wheels on it? Most of us have it on a bench anyway and wheels just add more irritation if it moves around on the bench. This is only what and how we choose the K40 for this article series.
