Meet Hanboost T1: A Palm Sized Laser Engraver Starting at Just $89
We're excited to announce that the Hanboost T1 Kickstarter campaign officially launches on June 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM EDT.
Designed for makers, crafters, hobbyists, gift creators, market vendors, and small businesses, Hanboost T1 is a compact laser engraver that makes personalization easier, safer, and more accessible than ever before.
Unlike traditional laser engravers that are often bulky, difficult to transport, and intimidating for beginners, T1 was created with simplicity and portability in mind. Whether you're engraving leather, wood, paper, coated metal cards, foam, or handmade products, T1 lets you create almost anywhere.
Why We Created the Hanboost T1
Laser engraving has traditionally required large machines, dedicated workspaces, and a significant learning curve.
For many users, that creates unnecessary barriers.
Most people don't need a large industrial machine just to personalize gifts, create craft products, or run a small business. They need something portable, safe, and easy to use.
That's exactly why we created the Hanboost T1.
Compact Enough for Any Workspace
Most laser engravers occupy valuable desk space and are difficult to move.
The Hanboost T1 measures only 115 × 115 × 115 mm, making it compact enough to fit comfortably on a desk, workbench, market stall, or shelf.
Its footprint is roughly comparable to a soda can, making it one of the most portable laser engravers available.
Take It Anywhere
Many desktop engravers still require access to a wall outlet.
At approximately 400 grams, the Hanboost T1 is lightweight enough to fit inside a backpack and can be powered through USB-C or a standard power bank.
Whether you're attending a craft fair, selling at a market, or creating outdoors, you can start engraving without searching for a power source.
Easy for Beginners
Traditional laser engraving often requires users to learn professional software before creating their first project.
Hanboost T1 supports LightBurn and LaserGRBL for advanced users, while also offering the MKSLaser App for a simpler experience.
Using built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, users can wirelessly connect their smartphone, upload an image, and start engraving in just a few simple steps.
No complicated setup. No cables. No steep learning curve.
Designed With Safety in Mind
Many blue diode laser engravers require protective eyewear during operation.
Hanboost T1 features a fully enclosed design that helps contain the laser during engraving, making it more suitable for home and desktop environments.
To further improve safety, T1 includes a built-in tilt protection system. If the machine is accidentally moved, tilted, or knocked over during operation, engraving automatically stops to reduce potential risks.
