and the cables break over time

no matter how much you take care of it

my GF's started to break, I just put tape around it, should last a few more months

then you will move on to silicone

might as well order one

by the time it arrives

you'll be fine

@Jignx Could you give me a pic of the pcb, and I'll try to tell if there's anything wrong with it?

????

A picture of the printed circuit board. Show me the cicuits! :D

my board doesn't work

pls help

did you try turning it off then on again

Chink laser engraver worth a damn?

what are you trying to engrave?

Swastikas, mainly.

kek

Tbh though, Idk. Just wondering if they're any good.

as far as I know they're really similar to 3d printers in structure

even simpler I think

and chink 3d printers are not that bad

Only need 2D coordinates, I'd imagine. Which would make things simpler, yes.

I'd say go for it

@kontroll they're shit but you got not other choice really

the smallest decent one starts at like 7k

i still want a laser cutter

or a CNC

or both

CNC would be neat.

but im poor as fuck

i worked for laser cutter/engraver company

It's not worth it buying chinese machines for businesses because even the good ones break regularly and you need the service

i wonder if i could build one with an arduino

Hmh. How easy is it to get business in the first place?

but privately, you aint got no choice besides chinese machines except you re rich and feel like wasting money

@kontroll what do you mean get business?

Fuckers to pay me for the privilege of having my hypothetical machine do work on their behalf.

i dunno, i sold the machines to businesses <:aliOK:251417852156837888>

Seems like the smarter choice.

mostly its big business that buy the engravers to mark their own shit with serials

what I can gather from seeing the chinese ones on gearbest and co I can say they look hella unsafe
