No shortage of reviews for the Ortur Laser Master 2 and as always I won’t bore you with the things you can read anywhere else, like what models are available and what the real laser power is, etc. You can get that info anywhere.
This is MY shakedown and I like to bring up the things the layman and weekend hobbyist might come up with.
First of all the cheapest place to buy one is Gearbest. You can get the top of the line (20 watt) for about $290. So I ordered one. And I waited and I waited and I waited and the status on Gearbest still showed it not being invoiced. A lot of people on a lot of forums were saying they waited for months.
You can however just order one on Amazon and have it in 2 days. This is what I eventually did. The downside is that it costs like $120 more. I can live with that.
I got the box which was well packaged and the kit was complete. Assembly takes 30 minutes or so, however if you were building your 2nd one it would take about 10 minutes. Translation: The instructions are small and hard to read. I ended up watching an assembly video on YouTube which made the process much, much easier.
