This video shows the experimental software I built which makes it possible to control a 10 Watt laser cutter by drawing on a tablet. What can go wrong? Although I couldn't think of a productive use for it, It turned out to be more fun than I expected! Due to the hazard this comes with and the early development phase of this software I am not going to share it freely. You can contact me directly if you would like to try it out for yourself, but it's at your own risk!

The second halve of the video shows a more productive use in which I make a fitting packaging using packaging. I use the slicer for Fusion360 to make the cardboard slices, but it's also possible to use BlendScript which I don't have experience with.

I've used the Pergear LaserStorm S10 which does a very decent job. I do recommend to add a base place and some fume extraction as I've shown in the video.

Other interesting options for this laser cutter are the air assist pump: https://amzn.to/3kgX2a2 and a honeycomb working table https://amzn.to/3kgX2a2 Disclaimer though: I don't have experience with these two products.

I also recommend using better safety goggles, these are ones I used https://jtechphotonics.com/?product=l...
