Cheap Chinese laser "cutter"

#1

anyone tried this?

#2

1 Watt
is not
a lot

#3

would it be enough to cut paper / card? maybe leather?

#4

Paper probably. Put the Trotec on 1% power and see how you get on, basically!

#5

I would say paper only.

#6

@courty had one at electrickz night a few months ago. It was quite the novelty

#7

Mine is ~600mw and that cuts paper and light card (don’t think it would cut leather) but it will engrave a lot of materials like wood and plastic without a problem. It’s surprisingly powerful and nimble for its size and cost…

Happy to bring it next Thurs to electronics night if you want to have a play ?
