BlazeX M3 review

A 10 W enclosed laser sold with a camera, a honeycomb bed and materials, compatible with LightBurn, LaserGRBL and CutLabX.

A complete starter bundle

BlazeX includes a camera, a protective enclosure, a honeycomb bed and engraving materials, so you can start without a second order.

Open software

LightBurn and LaserGRBL support matter. They mean you are not tied to one maker’s app, and many laser tutorials assume LightBurn.

Claims to discount

A “0.01 mm” figure in the title says nothing about the finished engraving. Spot size and focus decide that.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short

Strengths

  • Works with LightBurn, the common paid software
  • Bundle covers the first projects
  • Rated 4.6 out of 5

Compromises

  • Sold through Woot at our reading
  • “0.01 mm precision” is a claim with no condition
  • The rotary and risers are extras

Questions makers ask before buying

Does it work with LightBurn?

Yes on the listing, along with LaserGRBL and CutLabX.

Is it really Class 1?

The listing says Class 1. Check the label on the machine you receive.

Our score

8.3/ 10

Good value as a bundle. Treat the 0.01 mm precision claim as marketing, and compare the work area with the xTool M2.
