Look what showed up?

With a lot of you talking about it I had to give it a try as my lasers will just not do some of the things this will do, so maybe Thanks All? We shall see.

Nice! Have fun with it!

If you haven't already done this, the simplest way to use the LP is via their phone app. I just pull up a black and white image from Google Photos and share it to the LaserPecker app. It could not be simpler.

Well I have it loaded on everything but a phone

I looked a bit and saw a variety of models and options. What factors went into your decision to go with that model?

The phone app is fairly easy to use, sometimes needs troubleshooting or a restart. I don't think you can use the desktop app with the LP1. For designing I use inkscape which is free

I’d be really curious to hear how well this works. I’ve been thinking about getting one to sign my pieces and apply my logo

dunno about the rest but for me it was the bottom line (price)

 

[Phil Hamel]

Same here. I bought the cheapest one. Works great for what I use it for!

 

[Sam Fleisher]

Make an offer of $160 on eBay for reconditioned one. They accepted my offer and honestly I can't tell where it's been used.
Ended up being $172 after tax. Free shipping.

John I have several lasers but none that I can move around. The fact that I can attach it to one of my many tripods that can give me reach and extension. Plus if I'm doing small stuff why not have a device that auto focuses. Also the desktop app gave me a choice of LP1 or LP2. We'll see if it works when I get it down to the shop but if it doesn't I have an extra phone in the shop for apps.

 

[John K Jordan]

Thanks, makes sense. Please update about if it works with the desktop computer - I’m not interested in controlling things from my phone. I’ve thought about getting one for years for engraving and possibly cutting thin cardboard to make templates and models.

I no longer have any CAD or 3D software loaded but I can design with Inkscape (used it a lot for creating embroidery designs.)
