We still have a ton of Blu-Ray laser optics from busted PS3 drives, as well as their motors. Since Synhak already has a 3D printer, what about the beginnings of a laser cutter? It can only cut paper and maybe some other thin materials but it would be a great proof of concept and maybe evolve later on to a more powerful version.
Here's an example I found on Youtube (excuse the background music) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEUGbagf5-4 On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 4:32 PM, Martin Pinkston <[email protected]>wrote: > > Sunday when we were moving, I dropped off an old dialysis machine for > hacking.
