    That tractor window is a good place for a baby picture. It would be pretty simple to make a little stand so people can use it as a picture frame later.

    You are a inspiration to me thank you very much for all of your videos. You are easy to understand and very informative. My wife and I have had her part-time business for about 7 years. We did the whole vinyl Cricut thing when it started, as well as small items with a glowforge and I just got a nova 35 and going to quit my FT job in a few months when our 1st baby comes and do lasering for a living. When I started researching thunder, I found you, and I'm so glad I did. Again, great videos, buddy. Glad I got to see you again!

    Thanks for sharing. I strongly agree that LB is much better software than xcs. The only good thing about is the camera feature. Suggestion. I wanted to share that my computer is in a different room than my machine. I can still use LB to run my P2. I use a usb over ethernet adapter with a 50ft ethernet cable. Works fine for me.

    Thanks Matt I enjoyed your video. Getting my first laser delivered on monday it's an ikier 36w diode. I'm hoping that's a OK laser to start with .I would love to get to where your at someday. I'll be watching and learning. Cheers!!

    i have a question, but it may be more than can be answered here on UA-cam. if you are starting out on a limited budget would you get a k40 type LASER or would you get a LED LASER

    Yo Matt. Does your router have a dual band connection? As in does it automatically switch between 5 & 2.4 connection? My S1 would not stay connected to my network and I had to go into my network and adjust it to be two different networks with a dedicated 2.4 connection for my S1.

    I've watched a few of your videos and I have enjoyed them, but I was struck by what a bad idea it is to paint wood inside of your expensive laser. I fail to see any advantage to doing that, and it opens the possibility to problems occuring.

    • @laserengravingwithmatt

      Thanks 😃 painting with a brush won’t hurt your laser. Spray paint I would never recommend. 😃
