Hey, Dave. I’m gonna amend my previous “I can’t justify it” answer to your question. Atezr did indeed come out with the P35 and essentially it was the same machine as the P20 I have… just a more powerful laser module. I really couldn’t justify it on increased power alone… the 20W P20 machine really was a nice machine.
What I didn’t forsee was that Atezr was also working on a 2nd generation of their machines… the L2 series. It’s a different machine altogether… a true motorized Z-axis with auto-focus, linear bearings vs POM wheels, air-assist on/off controlled with LB, and a whole host of new features. Faster, quieter, and more powerful… I fell prey primarily to the linear-bearings and motorized Z-axis; i.e. I bought the L2 36W machine.
I’m gradually getting back into it and starting to play again with some of the inlay tests I had started with the P20. I’m very impressed with the new machine and really starting to have some fun with it.
More later.
