- mondoshawan 7y agoFor that price you might as well get a proper laser cutter from glowforge or that Colorado corp whose name escapes me which includes an exhaust plan as well as saftey interlocks.
- mlyle 7y agoNot sure about the Colorado corp. But I have a 40W laser cutter from Full Spectrum Laser (Las Vegas) which cost me ~$1700. (Their hobby series laser, which got much more expensive afterwards). Now they have their "Muse" which seems pretty nice for ~$2800.
- kragen 7y agoBut Glowforge doesn't give you an open source laser cutter; rather the opposite extreme — their product is nonfunctional without its constant surveillance-capitalism umbilical back to the mothership. This is like suggesting buying a motorcycle to someone who's looking for a bulldozer.
