LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

Hello all,

I'm in Herefordshire in Brexit Britain, on my 2nd Laser cutter but the 1st that uses RDWorks (my old machine uses Lasercut)

My new machine is: HPC LS6840 PRO Laser (680 x 400mm Bed 50W tube)

I cut MDF Acrylic and engrave wood.

Don't work much as am winding down for retirement (will continue to make stuff as I like it)

Keen to get a CNC router and 3D printer.

My name is Phil

Married, 4 grown up kids

And I have questions

Welcome Phil- retirement is a busy time if you are lucky. Save your laser vendor files as they are commonly lost and a pain to replace. I would strongly suggest the Prusa Mini printer as almost bulletproof and reasonably priced. The Prusa MK3S+ is a great [and larger] printer but 3X the cost and the electronics are getting a bit long in the tooth but still work well. Small CNC routers are getting pretty competitive also and great fun. Gene
