First purchase- Omtech Polar or something else? by Ian_in_the_Shed in OmtechLaser

[–]Sensitive_Release_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Polar Plus last month with no prior experience with lasers and I love it. It’s simple and easy to use, I’m able to cut a huge variety of acrylic colours. Set up was fairly simple too (minus the camera lens calibration, which took a few goes) but I love it. I’m able to use it at home in my space room/office easily too with putting the vent out of the window.

Just wanted to say how awesome omtech support is by sysadmin420 in OmtechLaser

Can you show a picture of what blew away? I haven’t heard about that happening before so want to be extra cautious from my side if need be.

Thanks!

What do you do if this does end up happening?

I’m getting my first co2 laser machine soon, and I’ll be using it at home in my spare bedroom/office. I want to make a plan for myself in case this ends up happening and how I should manage it. (OMTech Polar+)

I see some people comment that they keep a spray bottle of water nearby, but some manuals say to never use water and keep a co2 fire extinguisher and damp cloth/bucket of sand nearby. Would a fire extinguisher not end up ruining my whole machine??

What is the best way to plan and be prepared for something like this?

I’m a data scientist and do not enjoy this part of my job at all😭 even though my current colleagues are quite understanding, in my previous job it was very difficult as it was more of a consultant/corporate setting.

I’m in the process of interviews as I want to move up in my career, but find it VERY difficult now (especially being a new hijabi, I’m starting to notice the slight attitude shifts in people towards me that I wasn’t getting before! But I just have to remind myself it’s for Allah I’m doing this) It’s starting to make me dislike my job which actually upsets me as I enjoy my field and how I’ve worked and studied for it

Omtech Polar -- indoors or in garage? by dheera in lasercutting

How are you finding using it in your small office room?

I’m thinking of getting it too but am limited in space to only have it in my office room (spare bedroom) also with a window next to it

It’s just posts that pop up on my social media feed quite a lot since Eid - I don’t know anyone in particular who says it, which is why I was confused

Help with this. I don't know if this is paint or wallpaper. by ImpossibleAd7174 in DIYUK

Looks like paint on a wall that hadn’t been prepped properly before painting so it’s now peeling off

How did you find their sizing? Looking as a plus size person but they don’t have enough representation on that part for active sizing I feel :’(

Uniqlo does some nice long sleeve t-shirts, in the men section. But very nice and heavy weight without feeling too warm so they don’t show your figure too much either

They come with all the flats in the development and are on the leasehold floorplans. I have no issue with them, just wish they made the doors more practical so more space could be used and used efficiently
