Lol
Well I was initially only joking but based on Urumomo’s math, it may be close to the truth when its done.

 

[urumomo]

We'll just say it was 8 hours a day over the last three years
you took some time off in there

First test with new laser.
Walnut cannon truck brackets. Pretty sure that is the wrong wood type.

 

[mediocremodeler]

No way Im cutting this sharp with the scroll saw.

Here is the original 3d printed model inside the cutout.
Lol
Wow these things are accurate.

Okay… no more stupid posts from me today, I swear

Which laser cutter is this ?

Its a module add on for my 3d printer. 10 watts. Pretty neat - no moving part redundancy and converts in 5 minutes or so.

What will it cut ?
material thickness

Dont know. They say 18mm wood in the paperwork, but I dont believe that. I just cut 1/4” walnut in one pass at 100% power, so Im thinking 1/2 real wood at a slower cutting rate and maybe 3 passes.
1/4” is all I really wanted it for, so I’m happy with it.
It will cut and engrave wood, acrylic, leather, paper.
No metal.

Oh
Styrene obviously too.

 

[urumomo]

Does it produce clean cuts in styrene ? , no melty edges ?
What was the cutting speed it that 1/4" lumber ?

This is 1/16.
Lines are pretty sharp.
First time with styrene.
Yes, its a Disney “D” lmao

 

[mediocremodeler]

300mm per SECOND, not minute.
Sorry

 

[urumomo]

A foot a second thru that 1/4" timber ?

What brand is this machine ?

Dont quote me.
Also
The pass count in lightburn software says 1
But seems to me it still goes over it more than once.
It moves fast though.
A lot faster than a 3d printer
