Aufero Laser 1 Engraver, 1.6W Diode, Wood/Leather, 7.1"x7.1", Beginner-Friendly Machine

A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Aufero Laser 1 Engraver, 1.6W Diode, Wood/Leather, 7.1"x7.1", Beginner-Friendly Machine. That is a fantastic project idea! Yes, the Aufero Laser 1 (with the 1.6W diode) can absolutely engrave names and words into wooden ink pens, but it requires one crucial accessory: a Rotary Attachment. Here is a detailed breakdown of why this works and what you need: 1. The Essential Accessory: A Rotary Roller The main challenge with pens is that they are round (cylindrical), and a standard laser engraver is designed for flat objects. If you try to engrave a round pen flat, the engraving will be blurry and distorted on the sides. You will need to purchase a Rotary Attachment (often the Ortur YRR 2.0 or 3.0, as Ortur is the parent company of Aufero). How it Works: The pen is securely clamped onto the rotary device. When the laser moves to engrave, the rotary device spins the pen at a precisely controlled rate, keeping the engraving surface perfectly level and focused under the laser at all times. Compatibility: The Ortur YRR models are designed to be compatible with the Aufero Laser 1. 2. The Power and Precision of the 1.6W Diode The 1.6W (LU2-2) diode laser on your Aufero 1 is actually the ideal tool for this specific job because: Fine Detail: Lower-power diodes like the 1.6W have the smallest focal spot size. This allows for incredibly crisp, thin lines and detailed letters, which is essential for legible names on a small object like a pen. Control: Wooden pens are delicate. The lower power gives you better control over the engraving depth, allowing you to mark the wood without burning too deeply or risking damage to the pen barrel.
