Making Laser Cut Maps (while Testing the Atomstack A30 Pro)

A30 Pro Coupon Code: A30PRO100
Valid period: 2023.06.13-2023.09.30
Atomstack gave me one of their new Maker A30 Pro diode lasers to try out. TBH, I'm pretty sick of doing product reviews (that's the flipside of getting the free tool) so in this video I decided to make a how-to video for laser cut maps. I went this route because I think a project is more interesting than just reviews and I wanted a real-world application to truly get a feel for how I liked the laser.
The map files I used came off Etsy.com. Here's the link for the Puget Sound map: www.etsy.com/listing/14150461...
In the video I reference a few other laser engraver related videos I've done. Here are those links:

Hello!

The map was definately nice.
When doing engraving should't the air assist be off? The engraving has more control of the grayscale.
Also; make a recess or frame for the honeycomb that makes it flush with the laser stands. Then you have an additional inch of depth.

I bought this one on etsy.com. You can also have Maxim Levshov on who you can find on facebook crest the files for you. He is a freelancer you made me the files for Okinawa. The laser engraver group on facebook has a lot of resources.
