Topic: Two laser cutter project on Kickstarter

Hi all,

I'm going to back one of these, just deciding which one. I think I'll go the Australian one since I like the appearance and I'm Australian.

If you check the Aussie one they have just started posting results for their testing with the 3W laser. Can cut thin acrulic and things like that.

Aussie one looks like a better made product/kit.  Would like to back it, but I also want something with more watts to do plywood as well.
