Sweet! Let me know if it works! I’ve got plans to build a co2, just not sure it’s worth it for my needs at this point

So the only reason my diode laser woks is because it removes the paint and leaves the bare aluminum exposed beneath. A diode laser cannot engrave aluminum, but can engrave steel for whatever reason. A Co2 laser might be able to do aluminum if the power is high enough, I’m guessing 40-50w output

You are right about the fumes, I have a comgrow enclosure that vents the air out my window and it works great! And as far as alignment, I use light burn, measure an enclosure and make a square and laser the square into my fixed cardboard base I taped to my table. Works flawlessly and if I’m...

No experience, my thoughts are the price point is pretty high for a small engraving area, for less you can get a larger area and when it comes to power it looks like their L4 is only 10w, you could get a Atomstack s20 that's 20w for 500$ brand new with air assist, and have larger space and more...

Yeah I’d definitely go for the 20w it’s worth it!

It’s worth it if you’re interested in lasering other stuff too, I use it for wood projects and guitars. I started with a Pergear S10 (10w) and it worked OK and got the job done, as long as I wasn’t engraving Sand Textured enclosures from Tayda, so I upgraded this year to Atomstack S20 Pro (20w)...

I’ve had success with my laser engraver, the buy-in is at least 500$-1000 dollars tho.

Just waiting on Schematic!
