Laser engraver hacking
Bill Of Materials: You could see a complete BoM here (upload the bill).
Amount of time: 3 hours.
Total costs: 100 €.
The laser usually come with a proprietary software that only allow you to engrave images. As the chips are going to be cuttered as a vector we’ll need to install a new laser firmware (into the laser) to be controlled with other software (into the PC connected to the laser).
