So long, we have failed to talk lasers here on the Blahg. If you’ve been around long, you know it’s one of our favorite topics. But what is happening in the laser world? What goes on when the Blahg doesn’t mention lasers? If someone puts out news on a laser, and the Blahg doesn’t cover it, does it deserve to be mounted on the head of a friggin’ shark? Well yes. Yes it does. Every laser deserves a shark of its own.
That out of the way, what good news to we have? Well, how about a guide to building your own laser cutter? Would you be interested in getting a knife made of focused light? And what if it was less than $50?
This project demonstrates a simple hack to create a large format laser cutter utilizing all the scrap electronics you may have lying around. If you have a broken scanner or two, the cost can be just about 30 dollars for the entire project.
I totally need to build one of these, even if it isn’t actually a hand-held laser knife. It sounds cool enough that it could go in to The Best of Instructables
So we’ll try to get you up date on the coolest or most useless new laser news in the coming days. And as always, we’ll watch for news of advances on the friggin’ shark front.
