Q&A
A: The S1 IR module is designed with a universal mounting interface. With the optional adapter plate + dovetail holder, it mounts directly to the Max 4 module holder and remains backward-compatible with older NEJE frames (NEJE 3 Max, NEJE 5 series) via standard 4-pin/PWM interfaces. No firmware lock-in.
Q2: How easy is it to swap between the E80 (diode) and S1 (IR) modules?
A: Extremely easy. The community-proven dovetail + adapter plate method allows tool-free swapping in seconds. Users can alternate between the E80 24W blue diode (for wood/MDF/deep steel engraving) and the S1 1064nm IR (for stainless/aluminum/plated metal deep engraving) without mechanical rebuilds.
Q3: What materials can the S1 IR module actually process?
A: The S1 excels at deep engraving on 0.5mm stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and electroplated surfaces (chrome/nickel/zinc). It is purpose-built for reflective metals where blue diodes struggle. Not for cutting thick plate—focus is permanent, tactile marking and deep engraving.
Q4: Can NEJE offer a fully enclosed system with fume extraction for metal work?
A: This is acknowledged as a valuable direction. While the S1 module itself is open-frame compatible, NEJE recognizes demand for enclosed Class-4 stations with HEPA/activated-carbon filtration for metal/plastic fume safety. Community ideas (slot + tray) are noted for future accessory development.
Q5: What is the expected price point for the S1 IR module?
A: Early-bird pre-order pricing is positioned competitively against entry-level 4W IR lasers. Pre-order saves $70 (≈€65), ships within 24 hours. Final MSRP aligns with professional IR tools, not toy-grade pointers.
Q6: Does the S1 support grayscale or only depth/contrast marking?
A: Correct. The S1 uses PWM multi-level power control for switching between fine marking and deep engraving. It does not produce grayscale photos like a 300dPI blue diode (E80). Its strength is high-contrast, tactile, permanent metal marks.
Q7: Can the S1 be used for large-format work (e.g., 700×2000mm leather + guitar bodies)?
A: Yes. The S1 is a module, not a machine. Paired with extended-axis NEJE frames (Max 4 + extensions) it covers large-format metal plates, neck plates, amp panels, and custom knife etching. IR wavelength ensures consistent focus behavior across long travels when paired with proper mechanical calibration.
Can this module be used to cut Dibond panels? (A composite material consisting of a polyethylene core sandwiched between two thin painted aluminum sheets.)
I'd like to make illuminated inset-letter signs, with white acrylic letters recessed into a Dibond panel. Unfortunately, I can't achieve this with the E80 module.
Wow, very likely! This little guy may be small, but it throws sparks when cutting stainless steel, aluminum. It definitely handles thin aluminum layers without any issue.
Please don't do this to me! I already have two 5W bulbs, one 10W bulb, and one 20W bulb, and if you get the price right, this one will be a hit, so I have to buy it 🙂
It's alright. Truly valuable things are always worth the investment. Our original intention has always been to help users achieve more.
Would be a more then welcome extension for my Neje Max 4, which I use for my Viking longship project.
If you can produce high-quality projects with this module, I am confident we can meet your expectations. Although the standard retail price might be difficult for a business to justify, I would like to propose a special arrangement. We are eager to see NEJE modules explore more creative possibilities, and we want to support that.
I have been looking for something to cut thin metal (used)..... this would be a perfect upgrade....My wife and I have been wanting to do bird houses and this would be amazing for etching a copper roof and making accesories
During our testing, we successfully cut 0.5mm steel plate, and the process was quite intense—there were even sparks flying. Compared to fiber lasers, while it doesn't have the same high power output, it delivers significantly higher pulse energy. Therefore, if your goal is purely metal cutting, the efficiency might be insufficient. However, for deep engraving or creating pronounced marks on metal, this machine performs exceptionally well.
Is it possible to buy a 24v main board to enable use of this module on my Neje 3 max please?
As long as it supports 24V, it's fine. This module also runs on the 4-pin interface and is compatible with the E80.
