| Software notes | The system offers versatile compatibility and can be controlled either through industry-standard software solutions or via dedicated mobile applications. It fully supports LightBurn for users seeking advanced control over engraving parameters and complex project management, alongside LaserGRBL, an open-source option ideal for Windows environments. Furthermore, the integrated wireless connectivity allows operation through the proprietary smartphone and tablet application, optimizing the workflow for quick engravings directly from graphic files stored on mobile devices without needing a permanent physical computer connection. | Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL for Windows and macOS systems. The 32-bit motherboard can automatically manage the Air Assist activation. |
The differences that matter
- Bed 130 × 130 mm vs 385 × 380 mm → a panel wider than 130 mm does not fit on the P1.
- 5 W vs 10 W rated → the S30 Pro has twice the power for cutting and engraving.
- Roughly 250–350 € vs 599.99 € → the P1 costs about 300 € less.
- Footprint 26.5 × 30.3 cm vs 55.5 × 59.5 cm → the P1 can be put away, the S30 Pro needs a fixed spot on the bench.
Which one to choose
Choose P1 Ultra if…
Engraving small objects: a 130 × 130 mm bed, control from a smartphone app over Wi-Fi, at roughly 250 to 350 €. Cutting is thin and takes several passes: balsa up to 3–4 mm and acrylic up to 2–3 mm, as declared by the manufacturer; the source is 5 W.
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
Work on large sheets up to 385 × 380 mm, with a 10 W source and speeds up to 25000 mm/min (the P1 reaches about 10800 mm/min, i.e. 180 mm/s). It costs about 300 € more (599.99 €) and takes up 55.5 × 59.5 cm against 26.5 × 30.3 cm for the P1.
