Reply to "Affordable Laser Cutter and questions on use"

I am only interested in cutting wood (1/16 inch) and plastic so I invested in a Cricut Maker 3 cutter (https://inspiration.cricut.com...ate-cutting-machine/). The machine plus the knife blade / tool holder along with extra blades plus a couple of super stick pads cost me about $550. I can cut about 11 inches wide by about 24 inches long.

I just got the machine so will be setting it up and learning the design space program. The video below shows how one user designed the patterns by simply using LibreOffice / Microsoft Office Drawing platform - transferred to Cricut design space for the actual cutting.

You could always pitch it as machine your wife/husband could use for their arts&crafts projects................
