I have a WK and am very very happy with the machine and the service. LaserCut is pretty decent software, but I find it much easier to design in Inkscape and import into LaserCut rather than try to...
WK has a version that does not make contact with the material, basically you place the included block of aluminum under the sensor, and once it gets close enough (never actually making contact) it...
I haven't, but I did consider it, but didn't think it would work. The compressor in the mini fridge is small, and it's designed to take the heat out over time, so if you are just flowing warm water...
Depends on what I was doing, if I was engraving, having the little chiller gave me about an extra 30-45 mins, when I am cutting, it made very little difference. I think if I had 50gal of water, I'd...
A lot of things are made in China, the bad products are usually a result of bad design meeting cheap components and no QA. Nearly every piece of electronics you own today has parts made in China,...
I'm using a aquarium peltier cooler (140w) with my 80w laser, and it's better than nothing, but it won't keep up. I'm just a hobby use, so I don't mind the down time. When I know I'll be cutting...
Interesting idea, but I think the output of optics used in networking is very low (less than a mw?) so even if you can drive it, you may not be able to do anything useful with it. If you want to...
I'm sorry you purchased a FSL. :)
Looking into this a little more, it seems Hurricane is contracting CADlabs to custom develop some software to work with the Leetro boards, and the $50k is probably going to pay for some or all of...
I doubt it. There are $895 reasons why I don't think it'll be open source.
Yeah, I suppose they could post whatever they want on KS, but I think the core users of KS are looking to invest in more of the start ups, and not so much a sale or discount. That's what Groupon is...
I'm kinda excited about the new software, but this is a weird kickstarter. Most of the video is an ad, very little about exactly how the money will be used, besides making videos and vague...
Are you sure about the 20k hours? Assuming Walt's lasing time is typical, 20k hours is over 19 years. Most people don't seem to get that many years of service out of thru rf lasers.
Thanks for offering to answer questions, can you give us some background about yourself? Do you work in the laser industry? Where did you obtain your vast knowledge on lasers?
Yes, dont spam the forums! Rabbit and Hurricane both contribute here--they answer questions and help people out, share insightful technical info, etc. What typically do NOT do is come here just to...
You are doing it wrong.
What do you plan on doing with this? Price and availability of spares, quality of the support, and most important, the software. If this is for a hobby, I think Lasercut is fine, but there is a...
Please, whatever you do, do not buy any products from this guy. He joins just to spam this site with senseless posts so he can throw adverts at you. If you are going to do that, at least have the...
Do you have the same issue if you design a 100mm square using Lasercut only?
From Lasercut, take a look at Machine Options, Worktable. Not sure what the proper values should be for your machine,...
So let me see if I understand this. You are saying don't get scammed by send money to someone you don't know in China. Instead, hire you--and by the way, who are you again?--to check on the...
I think Hurricane will also have a solution in the next few months. You cant get a Retina card from FS unless you also buy one of their machines, but they dont seem to have a lot of happy customers.
Can someone please translate? Sounds like a refillable co2 laser, or a fancy pair of Nike sneakers. I'm not exact sure yet. :)
Great, please make sure FSL is not able to identify you on this site when you do interact with them, so they don't give you special treatment. Very exciting, looking forward to your review.
John, is that just a standard red brick? Can you share details about speed, power level, and number of passes?
John, that's great news, looking forward to seeing the product this coming November.
I'm new to all this, so this may be common knowledge, and I just didnt get the memo. :)
It seems many of the problems with reading dxf files from Lasercut can be fixed if you convert to path...
It seems their smallest machine is put together in the us? All of their other machines seem to be made in China. There is nothing wrong with stuff made in China, IMO, as most of what we buy today...
I haven't tried this, but you can try installing Virtualbox (it's free) and installing a 32bit versions of Windows to run Corel and the Lasercut drivers. I am not sure if the softdog will work in a...
Very nice, thank you for the info! Lasercut 5.3 supports all version of Corel? I think the installation still says x3 older only.
Looks like x4 is the last version supported. :(
