5W vs 10W Omni X – Is the Upgrade Worth It? Side-by-Side Comparison!

The ComMarker Omni X was already a powerful 5W UV laser… but now, it just got a serious upgrade. In this hands-on video, I’ll walk you through the entire process of upgrading the Omni X to a 10W UV module — including teardown, installation, lens calibration, and real-world engraving tests. I’ll run side-by-side comparisons on stainless steel, slate, wood, and crystal to see exactly how much more powerful the 10W module is — and whether this upgrade is worth the investment for hobbyists and laser business owners alike. I’ll also demo advanced 3D internal engraving with textured OBJ files in crystal blocks, showing off the true power of this machine for makers and small shops. If you’re thinking about levelling up your laser game or improving your engraving speed and depth, this upgrade might just pay for itself. 👇 Affiliate Link for the 10W Upgrade Kit (with Black Friday discount): https://store.commarker.com/products/omni-x-xe-10w-laser-upgrade-kit/?ref=qtcxttco Use coupon code "stevemakeseverything" to save an additional 5% on your order The K9 crystal blocks used in the video are available here: https://store.commarker.com/products/100-50-50mm-k9-crystal-cube?ref=qtcxttco If you want to pick up the Crystal Award blanks that I used in this video, you can get them from Amazon: US: https://amzn.to/4lOy5jk CA: https://amzn.to/45PrE9W ►►►► SOCIAL MEDIA • Channel Membership ➭ https://www.youtube.com/@SteveMakesEverything/join • Instagram ➭ @slicedpidesign • Facebook ➭ https://www.facebook.com/SteveMakesEverything • my business site ➭ https://www.slicedpi.design • my Etsy store ➭ https://slicedpidesign.etsy.com • email ➭ stevemakeseverything@gmail.com (business inquiries) #stevemakeseverything #co2laser #diodelaser #workshop #makersgonnamake #maker #craftideas #laserengraver #laserengraving #laserengravingmachine #laserbusiness #lasercutting
