Emblaser 2 - don’t waste your money! It’s sooooo slow to cut. Lacks power. Better to fork out the money for a real laser cutter. Epilog slashers are brilliant. They are expensive but so much more reliable.

Hi everyone, Juley Karis has a question - Has anyone recently purchased an EMBLASER 2 [engraving laser diode machine] and or a MakeBlock LASERBOX Pro CO2 Laser Cutter & Engraver? We'd really appreciate some feed back on how is goes and what the support service is like in Victoria. We are struggling a bit with our current laser cutters  and are looking at alternatives. These are supplied through CD-Soft education resources based in WA. I'm hoping they are not too good to be true. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Juley Karis on jka at mornsc.vic.edu.au with any comments.

I would agree with Brendan. The emblaser is great to show students how a
laser works but useless for class room projects. If cost is your issue look
at some of PicoKits machines, they get the job done and don't cost too much
more.

Message-ID: <CAA_O3SvtX8YE_TYQUY=dKWOvKTWw-K27p7o9YgFNV4g9Zuso=w@mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone,

Hope you have all settled back into Term 2 well.

I'm in the process of researching new 3D printers for a budget submission
as we currently have 7 year old Makerbot Replicator 5th Gen printers that
are quite problematic.

Is anyone using SLA printers they would recommend? Or have you stayed with
FDM printers for classwork?

Ideally looking at printers that can be networked so I can run prints as we
have no technician.

Thanks in anticipation.

Regards,
Heath
