they're really more involved in Twitter than their profile suggests.

Is that supposed to be in indication of legitimacy or a red flag?

Filed under: Yes

It's the price in s. CAD happens to be the first item in the list of currency options, so maybe that's what it's grabbing?

Display the CAD price, but label it USD. Good jorb!

@Zerosquare I think it's moot, anyway. While researching appropriate material, I learned that mere possession of a class 3b or class 4 laser requires that I be registered/certificated/permitted by the Texas Dept. of Health. So unless I ever decide to start an actual business using it, . It may be that these regulations only apply to business use, not hobby use, but I'm not inclined to take chances with it.

whatever filter material makes viewing safe

Yeah, if I knew what that is. I'd have to do research on that. If/when I decide I want to get the laser module, I'll look into what I need to make an enclosure.

@Zerosquare There's a competitor that sells an enclosure for their machine that (if properly installed, closed, etc.) reduces the class 4 radiation to class 1 or 1A or something like that. I haven't found a similar enclosure for this one. It would, of course, be a simple task to build an opaque enclosure; not so simple to make one you can see through to observe whether the machine is doing what it's supposed to be doing.

@boomzilla As opposed to old trolls, who may get very hard for a very long time if they're not careful about sunlight.

I bought myself a thing:

1,179.00 USD

I have no idea why the embed says . The actual price is $849.00, or $1043.10 with the 4^th axis module (save $54.90 for buying them together, which I did).

It's also compatible with this, which I didn't buy (yet?). I'm not sure I really want a class 4 laser in my garage.
