    This isn't the only way to do it.
    It's probably not the best way to do it.
    But it's how I did it.

    Unfortunately, there is zero information about the bridge between assembling the hardware and actually doing projects....that is, the computer interface setup, which is quite crucial.

      i wonder how much of an audience there would be if I made that video?
      Anyone else care to offer an opinion?

    The debris tray is really nice. Having an LC40, it's annoying to have to keep getting in the work area with sticky tape to try to remove all the tiny debris that makes the mounting mat lie crooked.

    I always wondered if it was risky engraving super shiny materials , like the beam could reflect back into the diode and destroy it?

    Ha. I just checked your link and they are pushing the 60w laser now. I am still happy with my Creality 10w although etching metal would be cool. Thanks for the video.

    Great video, but how does it compare to the ACMER P3, looks like the P3 is stronger and safer. I'm torn on this.

    Wonder if it would cut things like silicone mats or other gasket type materials. Hmm Good review K👍

    • @pileofstuff
      @pileofstuff  2 місяці тому

      It'll definitely do cork and paper/fiber based gasket material.
      Haven't tried it on anything silicone based, but I suspect as long as it's not transparent it ought to work.

      One thing I haven't heard anyone mention about cutting the thicker materials is that if you focus the laser to the middle of the depth of your cut (as long as the head doesn't hit), you might actually be able to cut even thicker things since the sweet spot is in the center of the item instead of the top.

    • @pileofstuff
      @pileofstuff  3 місяці тому

      The little focusing block thingie has different heights for engraving and 2 depths for cutting different thicknesses that accommodates for exactly that.
