This Basic Operation and Safety Standards (BOSS) class is part of an ongoing safety series for members to become proficient in operating machinery at Maker Nexus. It's an excellent opportunity to learn best practices to effectively laser engrave materials that require rotary maneuvering.
Classes at Maker Nexus are open to the public, though members enjoy the perk of tuition discounts.
The rotary attachment allows you to engrave on cylindrical objects like cups, glasses, bottles (glass, ceramics, anodized aluminum or coated steel), rings, pens, baseball bats, and more. In this class, you will learn how to safely install the rotary attachment into the BOSS laser, how to operate the device, and how to prepare your file to send to the laser.
We'll be using the Boss Laser LS2440, 100W, a water-cooled CO2 laser cutter with a Ruida controller (common and easy to use).
At the end of class, you will engrave a 16oz pint glass with your custom design to take home.
