Considering your situation, upgrading to a more powerful laser might indeed be necessary for cutting intricate patterns effectively. While Vevor suggested upgrading to a 10W laser, it's essential to ensure compatibility with your Vevor 3018 Pro laser engraver. As you explore your options, I recommend considering the Monport laser, known for its high quality and affordability. Monport offers a range of laser products suitable for various applications, including cutting intricate patterns. Their lasers are user-friendly and known for their performance, making them a reliable choice for beginners and experienced users alike.

Hey there,

If you're aiming to cut intricate patterns with your Vevor 3018 Pro laser engraver, it seems like upgrading to a more powerful laser might be necessary, as advised by Vevor support. While a 10W laser could potentially provide the power needed for cutting, it's essential to consider the compatibility and installation process with your machine.

Plus, it's designed to be easy to use, which is perfect for beginners like yourself.
