Frequently Asked Questions - CV-Laser Module CREALITY

How do I install the CV-Laser Module on my Creality Ender 3?

First, ensure the printer is powered off. Remove the existing hotend assembly and mount the laser module using the provided bracket. Connect the PWM fan port to the mainboard's fan header (or a dedicated laser output). Secure the module and adjust focus before use. Always wear laser safety goggles.

What materials can I engrave with this laser?

The CV-Laser Module can engrave wood, leather, paper, cardboard, plastic, and some coated metals. Avoid reflective or flammable materials. Always test on a scrap piece first.

How do I adjust the focus of the laser?

Turn the focusing ring on the module until the laser dot is the smallest possible at the engraving surface. Use a piece of paper to check the focal point; it should be about 5 mm above the material.

What power supply do I need for this laser module?

The module requires 12 V DC at 5 A. Most Creality printers provide sufficient power via the mainboard's fan or laser output. If not, use an external 12V power supply with a 5A rating.

Is the laser module compatible with my Ender 5?

Yes, the CV-Laser Module is compatible with any Marlin-based printer that can output PWM. For Ender 5, use the same installation method as Ender 3. Ensure the firmware has laser mode enabled.

How do I clean the laser lens?

Use a lint-free cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the lens in a circular motion. Do not use abrasive materials. Clean before each use to maintain power.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear certified laser safety goggles for 445 nm wavelength. Never operate the laser unattended. Keep the area free of flammable materials. Ensure the printer enclosure has ventilation.

Can I replace the laser diode if it fails?

Yes, the diode is user-replaceable. Purchase a compatible 10W 445 nm diode. Unscrew the module housing, desolder the old diode, and solder the new one. Reassemble carefully.

Why is my laser not turning on?

Check the power connections: ensure 12V is present. Verify the PWM signal from the mainboard. Test the module on another printer or with a bench power supply. If the fan runs but no laser, the diode may be faulty.

Where can I download the user manual?

Notes 使用须知

Using the high-density laser beam to heat up the workpiece surface when engraving or cutting aims to gasify without combustion. While most workpieces are essentially combustible, which may be ignited, leading to open fire and consequently to the machine breakdown and environmental contamination. Please follow the following operating principles.

It is prohibited to store the machine in areas close to combustible and explosive substances, volatile solvents or source of heat. Instead, store it in a well-ventilated, cool and dust-free place;
② Make sure that only the specific attached power cord rather than other similar power cords are used during installation;
Do regular maintenance. Clean the product with a dry cloth when the power is turned off, wiping away dust and foreign matter;
4 Ensure to run the laser at 0°C-35°C. Operation at sub-zero temperature is prohibited;
6 Switch off the machine if it is offline for an extended period of time, and unplug the power cord; It is prohibited to run the machine under wet environment or in thunderstorm weather;
6 It is prohibited to come in contact with electronic areas with hands or other tools when the machine is connected to power supply;
7 Touching any moving parts and laser module while the machine is running is prohibited;
8 Wear goggles to prevent vision damage arising from exposure to the laser spot during laser engraving operation;
9 It is advisable to run the machine under well ventilated condition as laser engraving may generate small amount of fume or gas;
Children under 10 years old are not allowed to run the machine without adult presence, which otherwise may lead to personal injury;
11 Put in place fire extinguishers in case of use, which shall be regularly checked. It is prohibited to keep the machine unattended while it is running;
Users should comply with the laws and regulations of the corresponding countries and regions where the equipment is located (used), abide by professional ethics, pay attention to safety obligations, and strictly prohibit the use of our products or equipment for any illegal purposes. Creality will not be responsible for any violators' legal liability under any circumstance.

9. Engraving 开始雕刻

1、Insert the SD card into the machine and turn on the power switch on the side.

2、After the machine is switched on, if you are using it for the first time, please select laser engrave.

The software pops up the following prompt box. Please ensure that the laser module is installed correctly (note that the laser module must be installed and removed only when the power is off) and select "Confirm".

3、Please place the engraving material under the laser head, counter-clockwise push the fixed focus bar, adjust the laser focus to the appropriate value through the knob (different thickness of the material corresponding to different values), until the focusing bar touches the engraved material surface when natural vertical down. Finally, clockwise push the focusing bar until it is attached by the magnet, then select "Finish".

Select "Run Range", the laser head will move repeatedly around the maximum X and Y edges. You can adjust the engraving material to the right position.

If you need to pause during engraving, please select "Pause" and select "Print" again for the machine to continue. If you need to cancel the engraving task, please select "Stop".

When engraving or cutting thin objects (e.g. paper), the laser may penetrate the object and leave marks. It is recommended to put a flat object which laser cannot penetrate, such as aluminium or stainless steel plates, before you put the engraving material.
