An interesting laser cutter
So, this came across my feed recently. Looks like a very interesting little machine. It would be fun to see if one could get it aligned to cut out paper models.

As far as I saw in the sample video, it has a "preview" mode: I imagine it allows you to see the path before cut it, and then place the sheet correctly aligned.

Here is the one I bought, simply because Microcenter offered it.
Amazon.com I am almost there with registration. I got it early summer. I add registration marks to my drawings, then cut just the marks, until I can get them to match. I found a GIMP filter to add bleed to texture drawings, so the color goes right to the cut line. I love it. My favorite model is the Eiffel Tower. (which has no texture) |

At the moment I am thinking about getting a laser cutter/engraver myself, I was thinking about the Wainlux, because to be honest, it's the only one I could afford at the moment.

Our library has a thing maker space. The staff is quite experienced. The recommendation was to wait until I could afford a laser cutter / engraver with a four sided frame.
The origin of this thread was about the model with a steerable cutting beam. Those were still very new then. Hoping Ryan Short can report out grand successes with it. |

The other recommendation was to buy lightburn app to control the engraver / cutter. I never even tried the software provided with my unit, lightburn was that good.
