Unboxing
TwoTrees The TS2 laser engraving machine will be shipped in three separate packages, marked A, B and C respectively.
Package A contains the front frame configured with the ESP32 controller board, the connecting cables and cable carriers, a 24V/4A power supply and power cord (not shown in the image above), an user manual in English and German, as well as the "TS2 Flame Sensor Operating Instructions" and FAQs.
Package B contains various accessories required for the rear frame, such as: 10W laser module, X-axis stepper motor , USB cable, laser acrylic protective cover, brushes and various screws. I initially thought I was going to have to buy some goggles , but they actually come with safety glasses, so that was eliminated. They also offer a free materials pack in package B, which contains different types of wood, cardboard, leather, and metal, as shown below:
There are only three things in package C: the left and right Y-axis frames and the X-axis beams.
TwoTrees TS2 laser engraving machine components
Regarding assembly, I completely followed the instructions in the TwoTrees TS2 user manual, which can also be found online.
Those who like to watch video tutorials can find some related video tutorials on Youtube or seek help in the Facebook group. I followed the user manual, and the entire installation process was relatively simple, but also time-consuming. It took me two to three hours to complete the build. The main steps of
are: assembling the left and right Y-axis frames with the front and rear frames, installing the X-axis beam, installing the laser module and its protective cover, connecting the cable carrier to the frame, and finally wiring.
Assembly could have been faster if I could have ensured that the cable coming out of the controller was under the left Y axis frame, but this is not stated in the manual. So I had to disassemble the left Y-axis frame, move the cables underneath, and then reassemble it. Doing this increased the assembly time to 15 to 20 minutes.
The wiring part is very simple as the cables are all accurately marked, just clamp each part accordingly.
The picture above is the final assembly result. I was confused at first because there was a flexible black pipe on the upper right that looked like it was used with the pneumatics, but wasn't connected to anything. I ended up stuffing it into the stand section and then after reading the owner's manual I discovered it was an optional air pump that wasn't included in the standard kit.
is very good! It seems confirmed that assembly is now complete.
software and next step
Before starting the device, I did some more reading and learning because I wanted to make sure I didn't make any mistakes, especially in terms of people and table safety, as there have been mistakes in previous reviews of different 10W laser modules.
Then I have to consider what software I need to use. I'm a Linux user, but the user manual provides instructions for the LaserGRBL program for Windows, as well as the LightBurn commercial engraving software for Windows and macOS. I also saw that there is a GRBL tool for Linux, but since I am a beginner, I installed LaserGRBL on a Windows 11 mini PC just to be safe. I can also see the MKSLaser Android app and web-based user interface. So in part two I’ll review LaserGRBL, the Android app, and the web interface, along with engraving and cutting tests.
Finally, a big thank you to TwoTrees for sending us the TwoTrees TS2 laser engraving machine for review. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. It’s on sale right now for $569, they’re offering a free LightBurn software license, and you can save another $100 with the CN100 coupon. This software license is not included in my kit, only free materials are provided.Additionally, they are offering a “TS2” coupon that will give users a $20 discount and free gift every day for a short period of time.
