Laptop Bubble Stand

Step 3 Cut

I am using a 75 Watt Epilog laser cutter with the following print settings:

Cut type: Vector
Power: 100
Speed: 20
Frequency: 5000

To start cutting my material, I simply hit the green button on the machine and then babysit the machine for twenty minutes while it does its thing.

wondering the same thing as cmyk

Yes. You should get special acrylic drill bits to prevent cracking. I've seen them up to 1/2"

Daen, I left my laser cutter in my other pants!

Alrighttt - We have a reader with the right idea - let us see who among us can make an inexpensive instructable laser cutter. Can it be done? At a low cost and with our ingenuity?

[randofo]

You must wear some pretty big pants. A laser cutter weighs a few hundred pounds.

[professorred]

The one in my mind is much lighter. It does not weigh anything.

It won't be as good as a 70W Epilog, but you'll save about $9,950.
And here I was wondering what to do with that old scanner.

or different sized hole saws??

[cmyk]

For those of us who don't have "sharks with freakin laser beams", could also just use a few different sized drill bits.
