    Hi All

    Just to show that I haven't been wasting my precious retirement time over the summer :D

    http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=751

    Not exactly a PhlatLaser, but all the design was done in sketchup and all the acetal (delrin) cutting exported via sketchUcam on my Mac.

    I'ts a 60W laser with a cutting area of 1240x620mm (48" x 24") - z access height is 200mm which is adjustable via a stepper on the bed (bed being the appropriate name, the machine is about a single bed size :lol: ).

    It's still work in progress, but I tested all the optics and mechanics last night with a dummy red laser - all aligned OK so far.

    Maybe we can get Mark to design a real Phlat Laser after the 3D machine !

    Cheers

    Neil
