If you’ve got a Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver or want one, you might wonder what you can and can’t make with it. Let’s answer these questions super simply!

1. What must you never try and cut on the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

Never cut stuff like PVC (a type of plastic that makes yucky smoke), styrofoam (it melts and makes a mess), or things with chlorine (like some fake leather). The Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver’s laser can make dangerous fumes with these, and they might even catch fire. Stick to safe stuff like wood, acrylic, or glass (with a little trick).

2. What can you not engrave with the Longer RAY5?

You can’t engrave super shiny metals (like polished silver) well—they reflect the laser too much. Also, soft, squishy stuff like rubber bands or silly putty won’t work. The Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver needs hard, smooth materials to engrave nicely.

3. Can you cut branches with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

Nope! Branches are too thick and have lots of moisture. The Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver is made for small, thin things. If you try to cut a branch, the laser will take forever, and the branch might not cut all the way. Use scissors or a saw for branches instead.

4. Can you laser engrave a soda can with the Longer RAY5?

Yes! Soda cans are made of aluminum, and the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver can engrave on them. But be careful—soda cans are thin, so go slow with the laser settings. You can make cool designs on them, like your name or a cute picture.

5. Which material should never be cut by the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

Materials with chlorine, like PVC plastic, are a big no. Also, don’t cut materials that are super flammable, like dry leaves or tissue paper. They can catch fire easily with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver’s laser.

6. Can you cut a magnet with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

It’s tricky. Most magnets are too hard or have metals that don’t work well with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver’s laser. The laser might not cut through, and the magnet could even mess with the laser’s power. Stick to engraving or cutting other stuff.

7. Can you cut plastic with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

Only certain plastics! Safe plastics like acrylic or ABS are okay. But never cut PVC or plastic that smells bad when heated. The Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver can cut safe plastics, but always check first.

8. Can you cut paper with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver?

Yes! Paper is easy to cut with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver. You can make greeting cards, paper art, or even cut out shapes for crafts. Just be careful—paper can catch fire if the laser is too strong, so use low power settings.

9. Can a laser cutter cut bones with the Longer RAY5?

No way! Bones are too hard and thick for the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver. Plus, that’s not safe or a good idea. The Longer RAY5 is for fun crafts, not cutting bones.

10. Can I laser engrave my phone with the Longer RAY5?

You can engrave a phone case (like a plastic or wooden one) with the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver. But never engrave the actual phone—you’ll damage it. Phone cases are perfect for custom designs, though!

11. How to turn a picture into a laser engraving with the Longer RAY5?

Easy! First, use simple software (there’s free stuff online) to turn your picture into a black-and-white image. Then send that image to the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver’s software. The laser will etch the dark parts onto your material, like wood or acrylic.

12. Can I laser engrave a perfume bottle with the Longer RAY5?

Yes! Perfume bottles (glass ones) work great. But first, spray a little “glass etching spray” on the bottle (you can buy this at craft stores). Then use the Longer RAY5 Laser Engraver to engrave your design. Wipe off the spray, and the design stays!
