Shame this tech has yet to trickle down to the home-hobbyist level.
Having my 3D printer direct the end of a decently powered fiber laser cutting head would be a nice feature!
- bufferoverflow 6y agoIt absolutely is available. It's just powerful lasers are very dangerous to your eyes, and you better really know what you're doing. You can buy a 1.5kw laser cutter for $35K on Aliexpress. https://aliexpress.com/item/4000063563337.html https://aliexpress.com/item/4000063563337.html
- rtkwe 6y agoAvailable yes but it's still the realm of people with a good amount of disposable income such that they can drop 1-2k+ on a hobby.
- wolfretcrap 6y agoI bought CO2 laser for like $60 off eBay and it works fine with my 3d printer tho it will never be able to cut metal.
