    Looking for a hobbyist laser cutter in West Michigan

    Hi all,

    Not sure if this is the best forum to ask this. But maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

    I'm not an owner of a laser cutter/engraver, but I'm looking for someone who might have one that is more of hobbyist then a company.
    The reason for not a company is the ones I have seen locally typically ask for a minimum order amount (either dollar or quantity)and a longer lead time, and that is not me.

    What I'm wanting to cut is R.L. Adams foamboard (typically found at the dollar store). this is used to cut patterns for radio controlled airplanes.I'm hoping I can find someone close buy that I could contact (preferably west of Grand Rapids Mi)., when I need a new plane, and have a quick turn around.

    Below is a youtube link for an example of they type of plane I am looking to get cut out.

    This company (Flitetest) releases free plans of their plans that can be used to cut.

    Thanks.
