<div id="yiv805731481">Greeting fellow makers.<br>I've been spending an obscene amount of time playing with the laser cutter lately, so I think it's high time I put together an official session to share what I've learned.<br><br>This class will cover:<br>
♦Startup, shutdown, and basic operation of the laser cutter.<br>♦In's and out's of using the Spectrum driver for the laser cutter.<br> ♦(Using speed/power/repetitions settings, navigation, vector layers, raster resolution, etc.)<br>
♦Vector cutting<br>♦Raster engraving<br>♦The different secondary programs to use to set up images and vector cut patterns, and some basics on how to use them.<br> ♦(HYCAD, InkScape, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://paint.net">paint.net</a>, Pepakura, CorelDraw, etc.)<br>
♦Properties of different materials and suggested power/speed/repeats settings.<br> ♦(Acrylic, paper, cardstock, wood, MDF, HDF, ?DF, cardboard, glass, M&Ms, etc.)<br>♦Tips and tricks for getting the best results when cutting or engraving.<br>
♦And anything else I think of<br><br>I've been thinking about holding it next <b>Tuesday, January 31, at ~7:00pm</b> since there will already be a decent crowd around for the open house. Session will probably last at least an hour.<br>
If you can't make the session Tuesday but still want to know about the laser cutter, feel free to ask me any time I'm in the shop and I'll show you. I don't mind repeating myself.<br><br>Make on!<br>-Candleknight<br>
