Laser cutter, start slicing stuff for under 50 dollars

Step 5 Demonstration of a small detailed cut

This is a machine gun that I cut out recently. It's a really small object so you can see the steps my cutter takes.
I'll scan the stencil of this when I have some paint on hand.

You will need to see the larger versions of these to fully see how the stencil was cut.

Nice clean lines, no?

Great project and fun presentation! Have you tried 1/32 or 1/16 balsa? If you think that is beyond the capacity, any suggestions on diodes and PS for these materials? Thanks greatly!
