Starting a diary of my Openbuilds laser build - good - bad - ugly

[Fivetide]

Its only 5 years because its been boxed up half way through for 3years because of moving house, grand kids etc.,
I bought almost everything form Ali Express direct.
I wont be milling wood soon with it as I intend to make a box for it and have it in my computer room permanently. I don't want to be working in the shed with it in winter and I can do other stuff while it cuts.
And Ill probs upgrade to the 40x twin lens because I have a specific use for the cnc.

Let me know how you get on with the canopy Fivetide, as i was also thinking of going down that route as well.

I know the laser is quiet, but the fumes can (so i have read) be harmful.

Wood and manmade boards milling can be noisy and dusty -

So good extraction will be required in either instance.

Is there any risk of a fire if swapping from milling to laser?

You say you have a specific use for it - just being nosy and interested in what you are going to make with it?

Thanks
