thanks! very useful!! I'll try
viva la dirt league?
That's a right tash.
Hey I was wondering could I get you to do a little project for out of acrylic
What type of machine is this and where to buy
What is the name of the laser a d can we buy the laser module separately
Love the demo, thanks
Hello. Was there an assist gas being utilized? Or shop air?
Where can I buy a laser cutter? Does a small one exist? I am just wanting one to make small pieces of jewelry with acrylic and I don't know where to begin. Thanks
Not sure if I missed it in the video, but how thick is the material you're cutting?
What a fine mustache you got there
Great tip with the dish soap.
Why there’s a macaroni and some melted cheese inside the machine? 😀
is this co2 or fiber laser?
Little tips like that dish soap one are absolutely priceless
What wattage laser is this? And presuming CO2?
you have food in the machine
3:08 there is a piece of peanut or something at the upper left corner, I'm wondering someone dropped it or a mouse brought it there.
The voice of the cameraman seems to be Mike Mackenzie of C.E.M. There were 2 useful takeaways for me in this video: 1) Use full power to cut fast enough to not heat the rest of the material (which causes deformation/ridging) and 2) applying dishwashing soap to both sides and letting it dry before lasering. I will try "clearcoat" sheeting (which isn't clear BTW) instead as this also provided a barrier and avoids the evenness and drying issues of soap.
didn't he use coreldraw?
What are the specs for laser?
Tim is awesome
Great video, I was wondering if you could help me with a few questions. My intentions are to create what looks like a cut in Acrylic but is more closer to just an internal scar that is foggy and glows like a ribbon in the Acrylic when lit. Can this be accomplished with less power and faster speeds? If this is not possible how thin can the laser cut be so it is almost invisible when viewed from the cut direction yet will glow when light is shown in the Acrylic. Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video.
Which kind of laser is ? Diode ? CO2 ? thanks a lot.
Thanks for the video, but what is the secret at the end, you speak to fast for me, I'm german.
