Many things were cut on with the Layzor last night. We need to look at our cooling and fume extraction situation before taking on further large cutting tasks as the Laser has been running hotter than recommended and many fumes were inhaled. --Teabot 06:59, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Model
- HPC LS3060 "plus" laser engraver and cutter.
Specification
- Laser power 40W
- 320 x 600mm honeycomb bed - cutting area possibly about 300 x 550mm.
Instructions
*** Please don't touch or fiddle with the laser cutter unless you've had permission from either Russ or Jonty. ***
Safety information
- Never leave the laser cutter unattended - Your material may ignite, and an unchecked fire in the laser cutter could be both dangerous and costly.
- Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic - You should always know what material you are cutting, and chlorinated plastics should be avoided because they release chlorine gas when cut.
- Do not try to cut metal in the laser cutter - If you wish to mark the metal, please use "Thermark Laser Engraving Spray / Paste".
Tips
- Some useful laser info from Adafruit - the settings section in particular gave a good idea of what we can expect.
