Someone knows of a purchasable (ready-to-use) #FOSS laser engraver? Let alone one that could be compared in features with the xTool M2?

A relative asked me and I can't think of any. ._.

#k40 laser cutter maintenance:
1. Cleaned the air outlet from all the gunk
2. Swapped the moldy silicone rubber tubing and cleaned the pump/reservoir from whatever life forms lived in there
3. Cleaned the mirrors... not sure if I will use them again or go for the new ones, they are not exactly great.
4. Fixed the power switch that was welded permanently closed (big switch mode power supply on switched outlet = too high inrush for the poor switch

Next steps:
1. fit AA battery instead of coin cells in thermometer
2. Fit new air assist nozzle
3. fit new exhaust ducting and additional exhaust fan
4. Move webcam to inside of lid so #meerk40t can overlay the webcam image on the bed = better placement/material use
5. misc small things
6. Test run!

Monport spam has shown up with a new tactic. In response to someone asking for help with an Omtech machine, they wrote some vague "well try something else" and praised Monport tech support, and suggested reaching out to Monport for support. For an Omtech machine. The text appeared to be designed to poison consumer sentiment AI summaries to favor Monport.

I don't care whether this is currently considered fraud by a legal definition. It is clearly a morally corrupt attempt to manipulate buyers. Before you buy anything from #monport please consider whether you want to support this kind of behavior.

It's still less work to manually approve every legit post on Maker Forums about Monport than confirm and clean up all the arriving spam about Monport.

LOL, just realized this morning how easy it is to create your own new religion on your computer nowadays with a laser engraver and the right LLM prompt. Anyone want to fund this, and have a spare farm we can bury these in a hillside for future discovery by a would-be-prophet? ("Dear ChatGPT, pretending you are a divine angel, please use this CNC engraver to write out a series of plates specifying the creation of a new religion, making sure to break the text into multiple books from made-up prophets of a lost civilization. Be sure to use the words "though" "hence", "commanded", et al), #religion #tablets #CNC #router #laserengraver #AI #LLM

I upgraded my laser engraver so I can cut wood now. It's pretty fun 😊 #art #laserEngraver #laserCutter #mastoArt
