2girls1cup.com

pretty cool actually, good magic trick.

no but seriously

can you cut me some stuff? i've always wanted some random metal sculpture or anything of the sort

12/12/2007 5:24:36 AM

cant cut metal
1.) conductive
2.) sometimes reflective

and max thickness of one cut/ pass is abt 1/8"
after that, you'll have to make multiple passes to cut thicker materials - i'm using basswood

I've etched stone and bricks before - pretty cool actually

i hear a while back some kids cut things out of toast. the tech guys forbid food in the cutters now :-P ha

stone...that could be cool, but wouldnt it have to be quite pourous stone?

it wouldnt cut it tho, simply etch it

bttt. i used to provide tech support for that thing. if they're still using DLS to schedule that thing, I wrote it.

also, i was the one that forbade food. stupid kids and their bologna.

water ftmfw.

just don't let it cut you... it'll never stop bleeding

^^ Joey Jenkins mentioned it to me a while back, but we never followed up on it. I'd have to look at the lasercutter PC's and software again.

Nice to see that the system I wrote still works after I stopped working there, otherwise. I was pretty proud of it.

I would have thought it would caulderize the wound.

Not really, no. Besides, most lasercutters have safety features that prevent you from even having their cases open while they cut.
