Putting another “fixed z lowrider” on the same table is actually the option I’m leaning on right now
I’ve been toying with the idea for quite some time but never actually built it….
On a side note, just a quick feedback on using a laser with the LR3 for the past 2 years:
- Dust is a problem…
Lens get dirty real quick because using a laser on a dusty table will create fumes…. - Security is a problem…
Covering/protecting the laser to guarantee you won’t get blind is a real issue
Not putting your workbench on fire is another issue too…
You’d need to:- ideally → build an enclosure around the machine
- mandatory → make or buy a laser bed (honeycomb type)
At which point it really brings up the question: shouldn’t you build another machine?
Strapping a laser to the core is fine for occasionnal use (and even like that you’d still need at least a bed), but I suppose if you bought a 60W laser… well… it’s not for occasionnal use
