Ratings and reviews

Most basic functionality works out of the box for a ACMER P2 over wifi. Setting home position seems unreliable but did work eventually. Manual motion works, can load files from sd and monitor printing, which is very useful. The creation tool is mostly non functional. Loading photos and camera does not work, so you are limited to the preset designs and drawing things on the screen.

Continually loses connection to the printer, cannot load a picture from the gallery or any other file on my phone even though there is a file upload button and worse yet The only function that does seem to work other than text is the picture option and I guess that overloads the unit because it only prints 1/3 of the way before shutting down. Wasted two boards trying to reprint

It sort of works. Can control the laser and there is a rudimentary sketch type design tool that is of limited use. Can't load any image to be burned (option is there but non-working) and there is no way to copy a file from the phone to the laser. Make a copy file option (that works) and it would be useful; could create a file in Lightburn, send it to the phone and then copy it to the laser via the app and burn. Otherwise is a novelty.
