Considering your situation, upgrading to a more powerful laser might indeed be necessary for cutting intricate patterns effectively. While Vevor suggested upgrading to a 10W laser, it's essential to ensure compatibility with your Vevor 3018 Pro laser engraver. As you explore your options, I recommend considering the Monport laser, known for its high quality and affordability. Monport offers a range of laser products suitable for various applications, including cutting intricate patterns. Their lasers are user-friendly and known for their performance, making them a reliable choice for beginners and experienced users alike.
