In this video I’m unboxing and reviewing the Creality Falcon 2 (22W) laser engraver/cutter, and putting it through its paces right from setup to a real LightBurn project. Creality sent me this machine to review, and I wanted to see two big things: how painful (or not) the assembly is, and what kind of results you can actually get. Spoiler: this was hands-down one of the fastest and easiest frame-style laser setups I’ve done, because so much of the machine comes pre-built. I also walk through what’s in the box—manuals, tools, air assist pump (included!), safety glasses, risers, and the laser module—and why that pre-built packaging is a big deal compared to the usual long, thin “build-it-all-yourself” boxes. I also show how I updated firmware (including the gotcha where you have to wipe the TF card, so you need to back up the data first), then I jump into LightBurn using the included configuration file. I run a material test, compare it to Creality’s recommended settings (they actually ended up being the best), and then engrave + cut an American Eagle SVG on the included 2mm wood. I share the exact settings I used, why I engrave first and cut second, and I demo the optional enclosure and honeycomb bed we received—both of which made a noticeable difference for smoke control and workspace setup. This is Part 1, and I’ll go deeper on materials testing in Part 2.
