Laser cutter update: calibrated!

The laser cutter is now assembled and calibrated. I’m working to find the right feed rate and speed for cutting the material I have. Once that is charted it will be a snap to produce parts for the delta robots, Makelangelo, and start testing the frame for the MixologyBot.

I can cut wood, bamboo, jade, marble, organic glass, crystal, plastic, garments, paper, leather, rubber, ceramic, and glass. While the 3D printers are going the laser cutter can be going as well, making me look super productive. …but there will be time when the machine is sitting there, growing cobwebs. Adding a Vancouver laser cutting service sounds like a very doable plan. $3/min runtime + material is the going rate at Metrix: Create Space (who, BTW, are totally awesome and you should go visit). I’ll start there and see how it goes.
