Home depot...

I was using an 8 watt diode laser with blue light. (I don't know the exact wavelength but it was in the 405-450 nm range.) It worked decent but the quality of the laser and optics wasn't great. I was able to cut up to 1/2" EVA foam. Pretty much any dark color EVA would cut pretty well. I still have the machine but this summer I plan on building and entire new setup and documented the process with a parts list so that others can build one as well if they wish.

Ta, ill just get a cheapy and see how it goes, else cut paper, stick it to the foam and cut by hand, per model there is not much XPS, though this would be an interim method. A 8 to 10W diode job should do the trick. Think focus optics are v important, enegry density etc might look at / upgrade that.

Else buy a plotter / knife cutter if they still exist, probably pretty cheap used units i would think.

So from further research it seems a low power fiber laser is best for what i want to do ie many types of media with fairly small thicknesses, ~5 to ~10 mm max. Seems you can buy somthing roughly sized like A3 paper, say 400 x 400 mm, with an 8 Watt fiber laser for around AU$500. Cool. Now, do i build a 3 axis CNC base to support 3 modules, 3D print, laser eng/cut, CNC or buy seperate units. If i build it properly as 3-axis base plus 3 pretty much seperate marking engine sub-systems then it may work well. Interesting. Thanks again. And then i will require decent 3D scanning, finally might be getting somewhere ;-)

If you post any videos or pictures let me know. I would love to see what you come up with!

I dug through all of my files to find it just for you. 🙂 It's "Stellar - meHiLove", czcams.com/video/kRAI2ZFyMfE/video.html

Put your computer setup outside and use an extension cord

What you mean by that ?! 🤔

​@@Fire_Assasinshortshop off the hub lil bro💀

Absolutely. 🙂 I plan on releasing a longer video in the future explaining acoustic panels in more detail as well as taking readings with decibel meters and showing the effectiveness around multiple frequency ranges.

The "acoustic foam" doesnt really do shit except remove echo, which can be nice.

Thank you, much appreciated! I'm ramping up as we speak to start creating lots of content again!

Absolutely! This machine is a bit dated but I'm going to build an entirely new and improved version of this laser cutter and will document the entire process and provide a parts list so that anyone can build one if they desire.

Sometimes overkill is exactly what I'm going for!..lol 😛

lol

@@ListenWeekly Which would be almost cartoon like but not easy to understand as a visual.

😂😂😂😂

For real bro 😂😂

@@RicardoLopez-nj8vr Yes

it can be dangerous if the rockwool isnt sealed in.

Yes, you don't want to work with rockwool inside, and I'd wear a mask to be safe.

That is what I am saying, he said” i showed you how to make…” and there is not another video showing that process lol

Ive seen ppl make it a stand like easel against wall

Looks like Elmer’s glue mixed with Miracle Whip

Liquid nails maybe.

Sure, but if you're going to finish it why not use a foam with sound reduction benefits?

⁠@@j.ballsdeep420bc over-dampening exists. You could just use a fabric

Not always. 🙂 Rock wool typically can't absorb any frequencies higher than 8000 Hz. (This cutoff will vary by type and brand.) I have a lot of computer equipment that emits some higher frequency noises, thus why I added a layer of open cell foam over the top of everything.

I agree. Rock wool with a bit of spacing with the wall can absorp high frequencies. For bass we use denser and thicker bass trap. For higher frequencies noise of electronic equipment. I have never have issues with. We have 2 analog synths but never encountered any electromagnetic interference.

​@@ZigWarnerwhy you want your accoustic panela to absorb your over 8000hz frequencies??

Trust man did you ever find out

Thank you! 🙂 I've come up with some better and fancier designs since then and plan on some new videos later this year.

I fell off the grid for a bit due to health reasons and work. But I'm back and plan on making lots of new videos!

I'm working on a new and improved version of my desk case and also looking at ways to have it manufactured for the public. Look for updates later this year.

This isn't lazy reporting. This is a first hand encounter. I was playing Apex Legends myself when I encountered the message. I knew right away this was a hacking breach. Since I'm a Google certified IT specialist that deals with cyber security... I knew that most people wouldn't understand how serious this breach is, so I wanted to warn them. (Hence the video.) Most antivirus software's will recognize Apex Legends as a trusted application because its from a well known company (Respawn). So the game could be modified to do something malicious and the antivirus might not catch it at all. If the hacker was able to modify the game like he did, that means the hacker could also modify Apex files to log your keystrokes, install software, access your bank accounts, check your Gmail, etc. Your entire system can be at risk when a program is compromised. So, safest option with a breach like this is to remove the software from your system until the manufacture has corrected the problem. Better safe then sorry. If you have any question or would like to learn more about cyber security let me know. :-) -Zig

@@ZigWarner Honestly I am sure if that were to be the case somebody would have noticed issues, or someone working on code. People have already found out it did nothing. It dosent matter whether you click yes or no, either way it was just a hacker trying to spread the word about saving tf1 and tf2

@@ZigWarner The hackers also only had access to playlist control, and things. For files to be messed with is a whole other thing, the security is way too high for something like that to happen.

You were obviously wrong about being blacklisted from playing the game, I clicked ‘no’ and havent been blacklisted or noticed anything strange on my pc.
