Interest in laser workshop Monday night for $10 each?

[Divinity Rose]

Any interest in a rabbit laser workshop Monday for $10 per person?

[John Howard]

Have there been any changes in how you operate it since it was moved besides needing a member to badge you in?

Is the workshop going to focus on operating the laser, or preparing files for the laser?

There have been no changes. It would be preparing files and then going through a run and showing some different levels of power and speed that I've done on wood

[John Howard]

I would be interested then, I've got the laser operation pretty much down. I still struggle at times getting the files ready.

A little off topic but useful bit of information:  Did you know that there are a couple eggbot inkscape extensions that can be used on our laser.  One does hatch fills (like fill an area with a series of lines to simulate a grayscale area) and one does a better job tracing images to vector.  Check them out here:  http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/The_Eggbot_Extensions  Also very useful is Hershey text.  These are used to create single line letters and words on your laser creations: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/2011/hershey-text-an-inkscape-extension-for-engraving-fonts/  And finally be sure to check out the living hinge extension written by our very own Dr. Mark Endicott.  This extension creates a series of cut lines to make wood fold easily: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:203940  Inkscape has a large learning curve, but it is one of my go to maker tools.  Fight through the learning curve, it is worth it!

perfect. Thanks so much. see you then. Question - can the laser cutter work with soft Neoprene gasket material? Or would it just set it on fire?

No, unfortunately you can not. Neoprene is a  chloropolymer, which is strictly foridden at lvl1 and  will release toxic chemicals into the air (i.e. you'll get brain damage.)

I should clarify the workshop I will do will be a wood based sample. Other materials you can laser are acrylic plastics, leather, and you can etch metal if you treat it first with a special chemical.
