Good morning everyone. When the laser cutter is working again I was interested in trying to laser cut some designs out of some mirrored cardstock. Is that safe to do? [image] I’d assume not and was planning on buying a cheap vinyl cutter for the project I’m working on, but I figured I’d check if…

Do you know where the vinyl cutter is? I saw some references to it in the Discourse a few years ago but I can’t find it anywhere.

Yes, it is under the light switches in the textiles / 3d printing room… Here is the tool page: [image] Vinyl Cutter - USCutter MH 721 Tools Notice This machine does not require an induction . This tool may be used while alone in the space. Model: USCut…

In textiles. If you go through the double doors from the messy room its on your left under the shelves. I am not sure show suitable it is for card (compared to a cricut thing) but worth giving a go

I see it now, thanks @asander1 and @tmilner for pointing it out. In my defence it was hidden under a blanket. Assuming it won’t work with card, would the laser cutter be OK for that reflective card stock?

Are these cards reflective on both sides?

I’ve cut mirrored acrylic by cutting the back of it making sure to mirror the design. It came out great! [image]
