The laser cutter is in beta stage. Will be released for member use before not too long.

Here's a wiki [link to the laser cutter while it was in project phase]. If you want to know about how it was built etc, go there.

How to Use the Laser -Turn on computer. -Turn on laser. -Make sure coolant is flowing. -Make sure air is on. -Make sure all safety guidelines are followed.

*wear eye protection
*no incorrect materials with laser (PVC)

Creating G-Code with CamBam for the laser" -set z-clearance plane to 0.001 (temp) -set depth increment to 0.001 -set final depth to 0.001 -set tool diameter to 0.001 -the rest is normal
