that price is idiotic.
it’s 2 times the price of a glowforge, and 10 times more of the same size laser i made (that was 400€ including it’s flightcase, not a glass tube, but diode lasers are almost just as fast)
Yeah the price isn’t exactly in the hobby range
Wow, that’s expensive! I believe you can get a comparable Epilog laser in that price range and they’ve been developing laser cutters for years, No thanks, Dremel.
The Dremel Guy didn’t say whether the laser can go edge-to-edge, but the stuff they’re cutting looks like it has a margin. Any official specs on that?
12″x20″ is an interesting size choice. It matches the Glowforge, so I guess it’s kinda-sorta “standard” (imposed by some hardware limitation with the laser?). It’s a little annoying, though, since materials are often 12″x24″. Maybe with multiple laser cutters using that size, material suppliers will start offering compatible options.
