| + | |||
| + | === Questions that need to be addressed: === | ||
| + | (Educated guesses are okay here) | ||
| + | |||
| + | - What kind of materials and how thick can we cut with: | ||
| + | * 60 Watt cutter | ||
| + | * 80 Watt cutter | ||
| + | - What kind of infrastructure improvements will this need? | ||
| + | * Power | ||
| + | * Venting | ||
| + | - What can we expect for support? | ||
| + | * Will it be supported by an ebay distributor? | ||
| + | * Will we need a Chinese speaker? | ||
| + | - What software will we need? | ||
| + | * Some of these cutters list several supported graphics formats but not gcode. | ||
| + | * How do we mix cutting and engraving? | ||
| + | * Will we also need to purchase AutoCAD or the like? | ||
| + | - Keep in mind the weight and door size if we get a larger laser. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Items to research: === | ||
| + | * Ebay Laser Cutters | ||
| + | * Do any of these have forum followings such as the K40 does? | ||
| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Budget: === | ||
| + | * $2500, of which 50% needs to be raised in new donations. | ||
| + | * Any funds raised in excess of the 50% match will increase the Equipment Purchase line item, for the purpose of purchasing the laser. | ||
| + | |||
