I test machines. I rate machines. I tell you which machines to buy. And then I reach for the P3 when I have actual work to do, because I'm too tired to fight with LightBurn tonight, because the job needs done in 20 minutes not 45, because sometimes easy wins. The P3 nails what it's designed to do - make CO2 laser operation genuinely easy while delivering serious cutting power. But it would be a 9/10 if it had 3G acceleration instead of 2G. The benchmark proves it (2:17 vs 0:57). You're also locked into xTool's software ecosystem for better and worse.

Size! It's huge! I need to wait until the weekend so my 2 boys can come over and help me lift it!
Automations, ease of use, size

the full automation system
no collision sensor on material
