LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

Good afternoon all and thanks for letting me join! I am a hobbyist for now but one day hope to start a business. I started with 3D printing and moved on to CNC last year, and now have made the leap to owning my first laser! I imported it from China and so far has been very good. I am sure I will have challenges and look forward to learning from this great community. I also hope to give back when I have the knowledge and experience to do so responsibly. Thanks again and all the best.
Cheers,
Ray

Welcome Ray- you seem like a well rounded hobbyist [or maybe not?]- I have the same size machine with an EFR tube that I have been modifying for four years and love. Many of my mods are recorded on this forum. I also love 3d filament printers. Gene

I just reread your post- how do you like the Photon? I was originally going to get a good resin printer and bought a filament printer to learn to design for it, I find it will do most anything I need to do [Prusa Mk3s]
