Could you connect the Raspberry Pi to the Trotec, or are you just saying it would be relatively easy to use it to control whatever mechanical system I set up?

I know some programming, but I've...

While the Trotec rep was here calibrating my laser, he mentioned the ability to connect other pieces of equipment to the laser (I believe he was saying it was done through the connector for the...

So does the red dot pointer on my Speedy 100 if I'm not mistaken...

I believe you can specify either 3" or 4". I know for a fact that's the case with the Speedy models - because they sent me the 3" and had to overnight the 4" part I had originally requested (it's...

It could be that they used the arrowheads to hunt on the land that is now claimed as a National Park ;)

Yeah, I know it's somewhat taboo to talk about exact quote details, so I was fairly vague in my initial post.

The only option his quote included was air assist. It looks like the cutting table is...

Unfortunately actually going to the show isn't an option, because it was this past weekend. He gave me his word ahead of time that he would give me the show price and I wasn't excited about driving 8...

I personally don't have experience with this particular product or company, but based on Dan Hintz's thread about a DIY filtration system, I requested a quote from General Carbon last week and...

So I've been working with my regional sales rep for the last few months.

I've been waiting to order until a trade show came around. I had been planning to drive to the show if necessary even...

Any thoughts on using a car air filter (or something similar) as a pre-filter? Or maybe two (side-by-side to allow more flow-through area, not in series)? Would this restrict airflow too much? Get...

Thanks Mark! I hadn't thought about the different voltages needed for international use, I was thinking along the lines of major appliances in the US tending to be 220 and wondering if it might be...

I'm planning to buy a Trotec laser toward the end of the month and as I'm trying to think through all the different aspects of the purchase and getting set up, I've got a few questions that I'm...

They were helpful for me to watch. I don't have a laser yet, but am looking to buy a Trotec towards the end of the month. It's hard for me to know specifically what to ask for you to cover since I...

I guess that's the issue summed up right there - what do we see as empirical evidence and what do we count as "worth the effort?" (probably a bit different for each person) Can we satisfy ourselves...

Thanks to both for your input, I really appreciate it - though I was hoping there'd be an easy answer that everybody agreed on... ;)



Do you also recommend avoiding plywoods and MDFs that use...

I don't have a laser yet, but am trying to construct a business plan before jumping in. One of the objects I would like to engrave is more readily available in urea plastic than acrylic and I was...

Hey thanks for all the helpful posts everyone! Sorry I kind of fell off the planet right after posting this thread. I got sick the next day and have been playing catch-up with work ever since.

Yeah, if I can't figure out a mechanism to make it more efficient, I'm thinking a simple template with spacing and rows on it will work for manual turning. They need to be spaced because dice...

I do not have a laser (yet), but will likely be getting one in the near future. I've been digging through the wealth of information on this forum for a couple weeks now as I think through my options...
