    In this video we build and test a AlgoLaser Delta Laser Cutter and Engraver. I get a few bits wrong and one part is broken in transit. I patch it up and try to work out how the hell to use it whilst messing up multiple times. In the end I burn and cut a couple of things and it's a lot of fun!

    Finally, a TH-camr who actually understands how multiple camera angles are supposed to work. You don't just cut away to the second angle while you yammer away looking at the first camera, you're meant to actually look at the second camera.
    Anyway, it's a shame about the glass, although I felt like you can't really see much through it anyway. 20W does seem pretty powerful for a solid-state laser, and it does seem to cut through those materials well enough. Personally, I'd go for an enclosed unit just so I can use it indoors (obviously with an exhaust fan venting it outside). Except I definitely wouldn't have the patience to learn what settings you need to use for which materials, so even though I've done a lot of projects that would probably have benefited from a laser cutter (and thought of doing plenty more), I'd probably just stick to 3D printing.
