The laser cutter is unpacked and living near the window of the dirty room. IT IS AMAZINGLY AWESOME.

- HPC LS3060 "plus" laser engraver and cutter.
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.
