DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING AND THINGS GO WRONG! THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL!
In this video we build and test a AlgoLaser Delta Laser Cutter and Engraver. I get a few bits wrong and one part is broken in transit. I patch it up and try to work out how the hell to use it whilst messing up multiple times. In the end I burn and cut a couple of things and it's a lot of fun!

Finally, a KZfaqr who actually understands how multiple camera angles are supposed to work. You don't just cut away to the second angle while you yammer away looking at the first camera, you're meant to actually look at the second camera. Anyway, it's a shame about the glass, although I felt like you can't really see much through it anyway. 20W does seem pretty powerful for a solid-state laser, and it does seem to cut through those materials well enough. Personally, I'd go for an enclosed unit just so I can use it indoors (obviously with an exhaust fan venting it outside). Except I definitely wouldn't have the patience to learn what settings you need to use for which materials, so even though I've done a lot of projects that would probably have benefited from a laser cutter (and thought of doing plenty more), I'd probably just stick to 3D printing.

Oh yeah. I have been very careful so far but don't trust myself. Algolaser are kindly sending a replacement shield, and I've ordered a fireproof enclosure with a 4" duct for extraction on the way now. I'm not using it until then. Also ordered a big sheet of aluminium to go under the whole printer and protect the table.

Yeah, Allen is a brand name from the USA and the name kind of stuck like using the name Hoover for a vacuum cleaner. I tend to say hex key myself because there's no ambiguity. Glad you like the Dizzy image. It really did cut the darker tones quite deeply. I have another "proper" use for the laser coming up soon and it's more practical.
