L-Cheapo Laser Cutter Mk7
Powerful Cooling, Consistent 10W Cutting
Meet the next generation of L-Cheapo! The L-Cheapo Mk7 brings the same powerful 10W output as the Mk6, but with a new fan design that acts as a built in air assist. No smoke, no soot, and a much cleaner burn means more consistent cuts no matter how long and hard you run it!
Even more, the sleek new design of the L-Cheapo Mk7 further improves on our cooling system, further improving consistency and the life of your laser.
The L-Cheapo Mk7 will cut acrylic, wood, plastic, glass, leather, and other materials with ease, and will even engrave metal. Engraving stone and ceramic is an easy task for this laser.
As always, L-Cheapo is made in the USA, and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
Price: USD $299
L-CHEAPO DIODE LASER CUTTER
L-Cheapo is a high power solid state laser device, designed to be mounted to CNC gantries such as 3d printers, engravers, plotters, or mills, in many cases without impeding normal tool operation. Without any tools, an L-Cheapo mounted on a 3d printer can swap from lasing to printing in under two minutes. The L-Cheapo is open source hardware, designed and manufactured in the USA since 2014. Though imitations try, nothing beats the reliable solid-state output per dollar of L-Cheapo.
What can L-Cheapo do? It can cut and engrave acrylic, wood, leather, plastic, glass, and even engrave brass, copper, iron, aluminum, and mild steel! It can also be used to sinter resins, and rapidly cure silicones. With a measured workpiece output of up to 10.0W, and able to run continously for hours, anything you can’t cut in a single pass can be iterated on without the risk of overworking the laser. This offers an accessible solution to the hobbyist market for large laser projects.
