Longer Ray5 mini laser engraver (3.5 W) Do you personalise small items, decorations or DIY prototypes at home? The Longer Ray5 mini engraver, featuring a 3.5 W diode laser, lets you get started without having to reorganise your workspace or workshop. The machine comes fully assembled, so once you’ve taken it out of the box, you can get straight to your first project instead of spending hours on assembly and calibration. The 130 × 140 mm working area provides space for key rings, plaques or decorative items, whilst a speed of up to 12,000 mm/min ensures that even larger designs are produced efficiently. The 0.04 mm laser spot and 450 nm wavelength allow you to reproduce details that are often lost or blurred in this class of device. This means you can work with precision even in a small space. Fine details that really stand out A laser spot size of 0.04 × 0.04 mm ensures that even very fine designs on wood, leather or metal remain clear and legible. Concentrating the energy onto such a small area allows you to engrave fine lines, small fonts and subtle ornaments – without losing sharpness. Whether you’re creating personalised gifts, DIY jewellery or prototypes, you can maintain precision even on very small-scale projects. Details such as the texture of leaves, delicate typography or precise contours remain distinct rather than blurring into a smudge. This level of accuracy allows you to move from simple inscriptions to more complex, decorative designs. Shorter turnaround times – from concept to finished item With a maximum head travel speed of up to 12,000 mm/min, even the most complex projects are completed efficiently, so you don’t have to spend hours at the machine. In practice, a small motif measuring around 30 × 10 mm takes about 3 minutes to produce, whilst a larger 100 × 100 mm design takes around 25 minutes, which clearly demonstrates the machine’s actual working speed. When engraving a plaque with graphics or a series of identical items, subsequent copies are ready more quickly, so you can move seamlessly on to the next stage of the work. You’ll particularly appreciate this when working on retail projects or personalised orders. Faster engraving also reduces the risk of the material overheating during long sessions, and the laser module’s service life of over 10,000 hours ensures this performance is maintained even with regular, intensive use. As a result, the entire process remains stable and predictable even with more frequent use. Creating on wood, leather, metal and many other materials With a working area of 130 × 140 mm and compatibility with over 300 materials, you can bring a single idea to life on a variety of surfaces – from wood, acrylic and leather to metal, fabrics and ceramics. You can engrave decorations, markings, prototype components or personalised accessories without changing the machine. The 3.5 W FAC-based diode laser also enables you to cut thinner materials up to 12 mm thick (depending on their type and density), which further expands the range of DIY applications. The Longer Ray5 mini offers the flexibility to experiment and develop projects, rather than limiting yourself to a single type of material. Beginner-friendly The pre-assembled design means the engraver is ready to use almost immediately after connection. The 2 mm focusing block helps you quickly set the correct distance between the laser and the material, so you don’t have to guess or measure it by eye. Compatibility with LaserGRBL or LightBurn software makes it easy to load a design and start engraving in a familiar environment, whilst support for JPG, PNG, BMP and DXF formats simplifies importing files from various graphics and CAD programmes. If you’re just starting out, the process from your first file to the finished result is quick and intuitive. It’s a solution that genuinely shortens the path from idea to finished item. The freedom to work from a computer or mobile phone – even offline USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, along with the LaserBurn mobile app, allow you to control the engraver from a computer or smartphone – depending on where you’re preparing your design – whilst compatibility with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS makes it easy to work across different devices. Once the file has been uploaded, you can work offline, so the device does not require a constant connection to a computer whilst engraving. In practice, you can prepare the design at your desk and start the engraving process elsewhere in your workspace or studio. This is particularly convenient when workspace is limited or shared. Peace of mind thanks to safety features Built-in X/Y-axis limit switches control the head’s range of motion, preventing it from exceeding the working area during operation. A physical Emergency Stop button allows you to stop the machine immediately in an emergency – without having to search for options in the software. An acrylic protective screen and a laser module cover minimise light scattering towards the user. The kit also includes safety goggles, which enhance safety when working with exposed material, whilst compliance with CE, FCC, FDA and RoHS standards confirms adherence to international safety standards. Easy to carry and set up wherever you’re creating As one of the smallest (286 x 292 x 165 mm) and lightest (1.47 kg) engravers in its class, the Longer Ray5 mini fits on a desk, shelf or portable workbench without taking up much space. Its desktop design, made from rigid aluminium alloy, makes it easy to move between rooms, workshops and design stations, whilst the 12 V power supply from a compact external adapter allows you to easily connect the device in various work areas. If you only engrave occasionally, you can put the equipment away after use and set it up again in a matter of moments. This means engraving remains accessible even in a small home environment.
