I’m like 90% sure that you either don’t sleep or are not in the time zone I think you are.

4

can i buy one? Where?

@Giuseppe_Caldara Printrbot.com

Looks awesome Brook!

6

@Brook_Drumm ​ do you have your own steel laser cutter in house?

7

@Jonathan_Lussier
I think he’s said they have a water jet.

8

@Jeff_DeMaagd interesting, not sure the benefit of waterjet for such thin pieces (consumables and maintenance on a waterjet is much more involved).

9

For aluminum it’s a little different. Though maybe he has a laser too.

10

Yeah generally with the common lasers you’d be limited to 1/4" in alum.

11

Waterjet is a beast to maintain but worth it. Cutting metal is a superpower :wink:

@Brook_Drumm ​ and if Printrbot ever has a slowdown you know you can cut granite kitchen counters to get money flowing!!

13

A 5Kw laser is nice to have around the shop too! :slight_smile:

BTW… Parts look fantastic!

14

I tried to convince my wife I could cut her new kitchen counter and install it myself… She wasn’t having it :wink: probably wise :wink:

Shipped 4 free ones out to RepRap enthusiasts today. Happy to contribute. One customer bit shipped too! Good day.
