After a lifetime of working with cutters, printers and all sorts of other fun stuff, I have decided to dive into the laser pond! - The deep end, of course.
Got a 60W red/black and am currently in the process of modifying it with all the suggested improvements - and then some.
Working on making a cooling system, using a motorcycle radiator... more on that, if/when it works.
Here's to a happy 20/20 and loads of fun!
Another newb...
