After having assembled an Open Source 3D printer and a CNC milling machine, we have had the chance to finally build our own Laser Cutter in November. Thanks to a workshop organized by Fab City Hamburg e.V., we managed to reproduce the famous Fabulaser, which was designed by Daniel Ingrassia, as a DIY Assembly Kit.
During this 5 days workshop, Florian, Piet, Werner and Sascha were able, not only to build the machine itself, but also to learn about open source hardware and related knowledge. This includes how to design 2D and 3D objects, and how to get the best results of laser cutting and engraving in different materials.
