I used a box generator and the ray trace function in Inkscape on some manga covers. Super quick design.

Hi all, I have this 100W laser that makes a weird crunching noise when I move the X axis. What do you think can be the source? I’m suspecting the belt, or can it be the ball bearing?

Begginner here, so go easy on me- any help appreciated.

Hi, I have the H2D laser and have been using it to engrave leather, the smells are absolutely horrible, and was wondering how you guys have it set up?

I was thinking of buying the AC Cloudline S6 inline fan and a duct reducer (6in diameter to 4in duct) and have it exhaust out the window. Or maybe just getting the S4 model and have a simpler setup.

Thank you all in advance!

need simple unfinished stars for crafts, maybe 2 to 4 inches. local craft packs get expensive quickly. i found wood craft manufacturers on alibaba where laser cut plywood stars are basically pennies in quantity, but edges can come dark or rough depending laser settings. anyone ordered these bulk? is birch ply worth paying more than MDF for painting? solid wood seems unnecessary unless youre leaving grain visible. holes for hanging may be useful. im mostly trying to get pieces that are flat and consistent, because warped thin plywood is annoying to decorate. maybe 500 units. sanding every single one by hand would completely erase whatever money bulk order saved.
