[hackerspaces] Cost sharing for lasers and 3D printers?

[charlie wallace]

we picked up a 90W that we're upgrading to 120Ws when the tube blows, its
800mm x 700mm work area with a motorised Z table.

cost about 4K all in, we did change out some of the optics and did our own
alignment.. wklasers in china.

cuts 1" acrylic and about 5/8ths hardwood, been running it for quite a few
months now

i apologise for mixing up SAE and metric, everyone here talks SAE.
