¢hris £und Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 What do you think? Finally bit the bullet and ordered one of these. And this is what I have been itching about for python! Looking to make some dedicated toolsets for creating patterns for the CO2 machine. Don't know how far I will be able to push it, but I am gonna go for it! ¢£ ZTEK, palarsen, Des and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I’m envious. Looks like a lot of fun to be had! ¢hris £und 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnalexander1571 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 That's great! Bed size is reasonably large too. I used to be able to cut stuff when I worked in a sign shop. Gear heads that worked there would even make their own gaskets in a pinch. We only used .dxf for getting the path into the path cutting software. It was some time ago. Interested to see what you do with this! ¢hris £und 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 An exciting combination. A 100W laser is pretty powerful and can do a lot more than just engraving. Cannot wait to see your creations. The photo looks like a Preenex ?. Enjoy! ¢hris £und 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 I have had some experience with a 60W and found it to be just a bit lacking in what I wanted to cut. But, I have been itching to get one ever since (about 10 years ago) First plans are to build some tools to aid in my nano-manufacturing business. kim, Don't know the brand, but from what I can tell, there is 1 actual chineese manufacturer of these with a number of different branding. Some brands seem to outfit them better than others. Better Tubes or controllers or ....? In my case, I went with one that had the better controller so I could use it with the LightBurn software. (it runs on a Mac as well as PC) I would always consider jobbing it out. ¢£ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kim Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hope it works out for you. I have heard good things about the Chinese lasers. And please keep posting your review of the laser. Glad to hear that Lightburn runs on Mac, I am getting tired of running VM ware :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
