Laser-cut Lamp using Atomstack A10 Pro 

All the pinecone vibes!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for watching!

yay! Thank you!

thank you!

Yup, definitely. Need to order some!

Thank you, mahalo for watching!! 😊

Oh excellent question, it does not. I wear safety glasses when I run the UV laser, or I cover the window with something opaque.

@@AmyMakesStuff Is the original glass window on the little laser meant to block most of the laser light but still allow you to see what's happening? It almost looks like it had some dichroic coating, or was very heavily silvered, but not 100% reflective and still slightly transmissive

@@AmyMakesStuff The UV from your smaller cutter isn't short wave enough to be blocked by normal glass. And the glass from your CO2 laser is meant to block longer IR wavelength. So you definitely need to wear the glasses meant for the Atomstack A10 Pro even when it is inside the enclosure.

I have OD6 glasses for both kinds of lasers.

Using the CO2 enclosure is mostly to take advantage of the fume extraction and limit stray light that could make it to my dog and cat who are often in the shop with me. I still wear the appropriate glasses religiously.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I’m glad to hear that! I’m afraid some folks might find them boring.

Totally! Even white would make it much brighter I think. But really you could paint whatever color to get whatever tinted light!

😂 I’ll show her next time! Sorry!!

oh ya, sorry, that's confusing! My CO2 laser would have done a great job making this project. It is 45W (so all the parts would have easily cut in 1 pass), and CO2 lasers are great for wood. The stainless steel engraving at the end, though, is something the CO2 laser could not do directly without some additional chemicals applied to the surface. I also just think its fun to show cool things being made on small machines.

@@AmyMakesStuff Clough42 recently got a small-ish laser too, and had mentioned that violet lasers are better at some things than co2 is (such as marking / engraving steel / stainless steel)

I’ll have to check it out! Thanks!

Seconded! Anything less than $22,418.00 would be a bargain! 😄

Yes, I’d like to, need to figure out some website stuff. Haha, yes, it will be much much much less than 22k

@@AmyMakesStuff Maybe NFTs? I haven't looked too closely at them but there's a kind where many users pay a little to buy their own copy of the file.

For some, that’s definitely the right conclusion. For others who will enjoy the project of making these improvements and find the $$ cost savings worth it, it could be the right choice to get this one.
