Laserleikkuri CM1690

Placeholder for questions related to the machine we hopefully can afford to buy and if we get it the main page.

• Funding deadline ? 12th October 2018.
  • The link to payment info is not here because this page is not limited to members only and asking "the public" for money needs a special permit.
  • However: If you know a business that could support us, go ahead and try to get them to buy some of those support items.
• 2018-10-01 12:55 -- 1 310 of 4000€ Funded (note: amount updated manually daily or so)
• Materials ? See http://atxhackerspace.org/wiki/Laser_Cutter_Materials
  • Basically everything but metals and stuff that produces poisonous/corrosive gas
  • Why not metal ? Short answer: Metal reflects IR too well to be cut with IR laser. Marking metals is possible though.
• Cutting area 1600 × 900 mm with through feed so full-size stock can be used.
• Total price ? About 16k€
• How come delivery is already being prepared when we don't have all the money yet ?
  • 1. Optimism
  • 2. The seller is willing to take a risk with it; if we ultimately can't pay they will simply take the machine away again. Oct 12th is not the absolute final deadline but we'd like to be ready early.
  • 3. We have so far secured a fair amount of the total price as an external funding in this machine, and this money cannot be used for anything else if we don't make it. The price we have to pay ourselves is just one quarter of the total, and we don't want to miss this deal!
