Lasercutting during Lockdown?[edit | edit source]


Zach

Hey,

So I’ve been asking around without luck for options to lasercut during this stay-at-home time.

I just need to make some small cuts. x20, 60mm x 30mm (max) cuts of 3mm plexi.

Only place I found has a $300 minimum. Super low budget laser cutters are $450ish…

Anyone know of a person / place that would do these cuts? I can trade mad circuit design skills, repair, or $.

Alternatively, if anyone has tips on doing a home lasercutting setup on the cheap, that would be cool!

I can facilitate access/cuts on a large laser similar to NB’s in Oakland, there’s also nearby access to TAP and Mr. Plastics for materials.

Hey Zach, did you get your laser cutting fulfilled? I’d be happy to make it happen if you cover materials costs. I can either ship or deliver to you.

Hey gaarrn, I sent ya a message, but not sure if it went through? I’ve been having some technical difficulties with the interface here

Hello gaardn, I’m in need of a personal laser cutting but don’t have access to a laser cutter right now. I am more than willing to cover the cost of materials and your time to cut my project. Let me know if this sound great to you…thanks…

Hey Abotrix,

Sure, that I can do. I’ll PM you my email. Do you already have the file or do you need me to create it?




Zach

Is there anyone that can help me with lasercutting? I havent heard back from @the (x) or @gaardn since I sent the files last month. I hope everyone is doing okay, I imagine things are just tricky with all the protests.
