Tuesday, April 27, 2021, my sister and I are learning how to make cutouts on the laser machine at Rochester Makerspace. It requires knowledge of the software program "Lightburn" which is free to download.
Class-Day 1: Learned how to Power Up and shut down Laser and to Never eve3r leaave the machine when operating.
Day 2: We were on our own. Spent 15 minutes for about a week just to get the machine running and shutting down when done.
Day 3: Laser disaster. OMG did we power down incorrectly!!! Machine caught fire and melted inside. My brother works on most of machines and came in to check on us. First thing he asked "Was it us?"It was a couple of nerve-racking" days before we found out it is not us, but one the the regular operators.
First attempt at etching stones.
