MC Etcher, a laser bot.
About
This group project was built for use as demonstrations at events to help promote Knox Makers. It consists of an enclosure that sits over top of a fiber laser. The enclosure has five buttons. Four of the buttons will burn preset designs while the fifth button will engrave a design from a random pool of designs. The initial designs were made to engrave on square slate coasters. The project was made with the flexibility to not only change which designs it would engrave but also the position and size. This gives way to not only change what the designs are available but what items it could engrave.
Usage
Jig
The jig is used to show the user where to place the coaster. This would need to be changed if using different items to engrave.
