In November 2012, Nottinghack members ran a pledge drive to fund the building of a new, larger, laser cutter. With a goal of £1000, we raised £2000 in 48 hours! Now the plan to to build and even bigger, more powerful, more awesome laser cutter! These pages will chart the design, build, setup and use of this laser. In the BeginningThe pledge was started on 13th November 2012, but the monies won't be called in until we have finalised a design for the cutter and have a build plan in place. The first design meeting was on Wednesday 21st November 2012 at 8pm in the Blue Room and was well attended. The DesignWe can split the design into two major sections - essentials and addons.
The main design restriction is the size of the cutting area - this will be 800x450mm The design is going to be based upon the build log open source design and more specifically the 'Black Hole' laser cutter made by iGull, the details can be found here. http://www.buildlog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=751 SubSystemsAdditional Essentials
