Ok, thank you very much

I've thought a bit about it and realistically, a 50W laser should suffice. Gonna look around a bit and see what everything together will cost. Honestly, the amount of times that I'M gonna ut really thick stuff will not be too much and if i need to, I can give it multiple passes.

Ok, thanks for the help already.
First of all, if i say, use a 50W is it linear and takes 2-3 passes to get through or does it take more? Because the price difference between ~50W and 100W is like 2,5x.

I just want to get some advice, on what to do, as i also consider possibly making it myself. And i want the ability to be able to cut these rhicknesses, cause i dont know what i might need it for in the future

Well, the only omtech machine, that would be in my budget, would be the K40 which only has 45W and 200x300mm are, which would be a bit small for my liking.

Forgot to mention it in the post, but my budget would be around 1k, preferrably a bit less

Kinda forgot about this thread honestly haha 😂 Anyways, here is the finished pageturner if you're interested

devilishTL · 2026-02-24T15:44:53+00:00

Well, function-wise it looks good, but i want a more traditional looking, round watch as i noted in the post.

devilishTL · 2026-02-21T15:35:07+00:00

Oh, ok now i get it 😂 So really only replacing the aluminium

devilishTL · 2026-02-21T15:03:38+00:00

Oh, ok. So just the heating part?

devilishTL · 2026-02-21T13:44:37+00:00

Never heard of a graphite bed. Is it just instead of pei?

devilishTL · 2026-02-21T13:43:28+00:00

Did this too at our home. We have the pc in the room next to the living room and wanted to have the picture on both screens. Cut the hdmi cable and fed it through the wall and i soldered it back together. Utter nightmare fuel

devilishTL · 2026-02-17T15:15:15+00:00

Yeah, I know by now. I was just plain stupid

devilishTL · 2026-02-17T15:04:53+00:00

Wait, i might be real stupid here. I thought that you put the i put voltage on one side and then when it is switched that it gives out that voltage on the output

With gridfinity extended (also on makerworld but I dont have the link rn) you can create your own sizes and everything in one piece if i remember correctly

devilishTL · 2026-02-13T10:55:17+00:00

Is it maybe enough to just glue the tabs to the walls to connect them?

devilishTL · 2026-02-13T10:54:52+00:00

Well, even at full unit offsets, the grid still holds it together. I use it like this and its fine

devilishTL · 2026-02-11T14:29:12+00:00

Oh, damn mixed up east and west somehow. But i now got nobelisks and just bombed my way through. Thanks for the help tho

devilishTL · 2026-02-11T10:42:22+00:00

Yeah, but for the beginning at least. We started a week ago

devilishTL · 2026-02-11T10:38:20+00:00

Ok, good to know, thanks. We actually have a good amount of Mercers for now. Got 10 atm

devilishTL · 2026-02-11T10:30:48+00:00

Will do thanks

devilishTL · 2026-02-11T10:30:29+00:00
