The Silvertail A0 Laser cutter was the main laser cutter the Hackspace owns. It has since been replaced by the Boxford BGL1390, as of 04/02/2024 this has been taken offline and moved into the back of the studio whilst a buyer is found.
A0 Specific Information
What's the same as the Greyfin A2 Laser Cutter:
- The password for the new PC (Log in using the "Laser-User" account)
- Lasercut 5.3 software
- Control panel on the laser
- Cost to use (£3 / hour)
- Bookable via HMS, limited to one 2 hour slot
- Access controlled by RFID card reader
- Maximum power setting 65% to extend laser tube life
Differences to the Greyfin A2 Laser Cutter are:
- The hackspace owns this laser cutter
- It has a 1200 x 900 mm (approx A0) cutting area, ideal for larger jobs
- Power is 80W so if you use it compared to the A2 use the whiteboard speeds
- Focus tool is larger
- It has a red aiming dot
- The extractor is now shared by both lasers. It comes on when the first laser turns on, and switches off 60 seconds after the last laser turns off
- If you have any laser time credits (from the original pledge drive for the A0 or a recent induction) for the time being this can only be used on the A0 laser not the A2 laser
