I wondered if there was anyone that would be interested in meeting up on a regular basis to fully understand the trotec laser and further develop the wiki page.
I was thinking a comprehensive page that detailed different materials that are commonly used with a list of cutting parameters, problem-solving tips, file set up etc. I know we currently have something for the trotec but I thought it could be expanded. Something like this:
I thought one eve a week possible testing different materials with various projects, make a box, rubber stamp, photo etching etc. Any takers? @Jonathan
One topic that could do with exploration is the rotary attachment. This is a really useful facility but it’s not included in the induction due to time constraints. As a result it never gets used.
We had a bit of a discussion about your design at the electronics evening, I think we’ve gone for an Arduino option instead haha
Though the laser cutter is something I want to use a lot and I was thinking about offering to join this group, but I know absolutely nothing about laser cutting at the moment and probably wouldn’t be able to contribute much!
it should be an opportunity to both create a useful working document but for those with less laser experience to build on there newly acquired skill. I see no reason why you couldn’t contribute.
Perfect for newly inducted laser members with no experience of using the laser cutter, to practise using the machine with those with more experience.
I saw some super cool rolling pins made with it! Would love to use it! Also I’ve been planning to cut felt (got the felt, designed some vector graphics, now need time to try it!!!)
Will keep an eye on the thread to see when we’re meeting up!
