what format of cad files do you work with?
Agreed I want it I be huge. I'd settle for a large desktop that fits on my desk but a server tack would be cool to.Quote:

@xr4man: I use Autocad for all my layout work. Files to the laser are .XPS formatted.
@luciusad2004: I can design and build cases from scratch, or mod the heck out of existing ones. Larger panels I can hand fabricate. Also, to use the laser, smaller panels can be keyed together to form larger ones. The size limitation is one thing I intend to solve as soon as possible... as soon as I can scrape together the money to build a new machine.
Out of morbid curiosity, what's the smallest image that you could engrave with said bright pointy object?
My OCD has reached new heights. We should talk about that.
A single low power/10ms laser pulse renders a dot about 0.001" diameter. As far as images, depends on how clear it is. I've done text down to 0.04", like in the upper right corner of the fan grill on the OP. Any smaller and it will start to run together. I may be able to slow engraving speed down and gain a little more clarity/slightly smaller features. Really depends on the material. If you've got something in mind, I do have piles of scrap around here to try it on. Paper, wood, plexi, etc.
Your OCD and my ADD will get together and make epic stuff.
I challenge you to make somebody's face into plexi!
Seriously, though. Look at my window plans for ModCron. I'm going to need some custom curvage to fit it.
