This is Ryon.
She’s a basic bunny. She is TikTok famous (but only ironically) and has an unnecessarily complicated Starbucks drink. She never uses filters (obvi) and is not like the other basic bunnies.
This is Diantha
Her name is Greek and means, 'divine flower', which she takes literally. Her IG bio is just the emojis ? ? and the quote " She is like a wildflower; beautiful, fierce, and free". She wears non-prescription wire-rim glasses, only buys Kanken bags and yellow Vans. She has a very specific diet that includes only eating orange foods on Tuesdays. She doesn't know how many plants lead to pure happiness, but so far, it's not 57.
This is Tobias.
His restaurant, "Avocado Nope" employs a full time pyrographer to burn the menu onto sheets of wood, which are later repurposed to plank their sustainably farmed organic salmon. Their bar menu is written on a chalkboard in an elaborate script, detailing each of their cocktails, all made in-house and all named after French philosophers. The dining tables are all communal cafeteria-style seating and are adorned with tall glass bottles with German-style flip caps and a succulent. In his spare time, he polishes his collection of carbon steel knives, each with a beautiful patina and enjoys taking care of his collection of sourdough yeast cultures.
This is Maxton.
The Latin translation of his name means “greatest”, which he is (just ask him, all others are so pedestrian). He is a photographer in New York City. He wears a cap even when it’s not cold outside. He seeks to capture man’s true nature for he knows it’s more than throwing breadcrumbs at him in the park.
This is Branford.
He’s a self-taught musician. He only drinks domestic gluten-free beers. He’s in a band that you’ve never heard of. They record their songs on cassette tapes “ironically”. When the band practices he holds up the rehearsals so he can tune by ear.
This is Journi
She just got back from a yoga retreat in India and a backpack expedition through Thailand. She has several tattoos, one that says "الأربعاء" (which means free spirit) and "麺" (which means Faith, Passion, Discipline). She cleanses her flat every week with crystals: amethyst to reduce stress, citrine for good luck, and quartz to keep her mind open and clear (just to name a few). She attends Coachella every year, where she wears her floral print kimono, Karen Walker tortoise shell-toned sunglasses, vintage Levi's high-waisted jean cutoff shorts, and a lot of turquoise and feathers.
Anyway, that's what I'm doing with my life.
I have more nerdy things here:

Love it. Awesome art and the backstories are great

These are absolutely brilliant ! Awesome job.

These are hilarious, but they make me want to see poor millennials in this style, too.
andpeggy1776
Yes. Of course.

I think you vastly overestimate how much expendable income we millennials have.

Is this what NFTs are?

I don’t know what nft are and at this point I’m afraid to ask

You could make little shoes with them! Like 4 min mini episodes!
moodyalpaca
*shows, not shoes. Although I would totes buy shoes with these as patterns on them lol

Love that

Ooh, which laser cutter you got?

Glowforge!!

Damn, the expensive one. XD
LittleRobot71
Glad you're happy with it, I'd never buy a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment with always online DRM.

I love these.

I have been following you on Instagram since the early days! Love your stuff! Keep it up!! Xo
urbancashmere
I love this so much. Keep doing this
TRexine
I love them all! I doubt they'd like me.
ReallyNotAVampire
I dunno, I feel like I can get along with Tobias as long as I don't order a Descartes, since that's his last favorite philosopher.
andpeggy1776
Or if it was Maxton, openly judged.
TRexine
Pretty sure if I went up to Journi and said "I'm into crystal energies too!" she'd scoff and tell me I'm a wannabe.
andpeggy1776
They would not like me. I would be silently judged.

Why are almost all of them visually impaired? Or are they wearing them ironically?

Yes

@op how does it work on glass?
andpeggy1776
Ooo I haven’t tried that yet!!!
MH9009
@OP will your Etsy shop show inventory once you open back up or are you sold out? Wasn't sure how that worked. Thanks
IrisTheVirus
1)If you sign up on Etsy to notify you when the shop re-opens you can see what they have for sale. If something's sold out but someone left
IrisTheVirus
2) a review, you can view it that way. that's if you had your eye on something you've already seen. When the shop reopens, inventory
IrisTheVirus
3) will re-appear.

Thanks!

Oooooooooooooo yes

Nice, been looking to buy a laser cutter. I’ve looked at $600 ones to glowforge. I like your results which 1 do you have? Recommend it?

My local makerspace has 2 different units. One is a large Chinese Rabbit that is slow but works fine and the other is a trotec speedy 300 1
CakeShapedPie
That is much nicer and faster but also smaller and 10x the price. Check out your local makerspace and experiment first? 2/2

I’m not OP, but I have a Glowforge. I love it for the ease of use and support is very responsive.
Someoneisinmyhead
I got the sculpfun s9 pro for christmas. I love it. Nice and compact, and does what I want it too. And it is less than 400 USD.
rovino
How do you like this? I was looking at alienfox told it was underpowered, seems similar. I’m looking to cut 1/4 plywood as well as engrave
Someoneisinmyhead
I love it. It will cut 1/4 ply easily. May need 2 or more passes, but it is capable. The only flaw is a lack of end stops.
rovino
Personally I’ve been eyeballing the FoxAlien Reizer 20W. But just curious if anyone has exp or recommends it?
bullestock
Don't. It has only 5 watts of output power and no enclosure. Vastly more dangerous to your eye sight than a CO2 machine.
rovino
Thank you for the input
Varcova
For $400 I wouldn't. There is no safety enclosure, the beam is weak, and the laser type is limited in materials it can cut. Buy a K40 1/2
Varcova
for another $100, or a cheaper diode laser and save $200 to put towards an enclosure. 2/2
FerretBomb
Recommend against Glowforge. The lock-in is unbelievable, costs are through the roof. They're going after the Apple idiot-tax market hard.
Kakotheres
100% agree. If you can't figure out how to run a k40 or k80, you probably shouldn't be allowed near any laser
Xianimus
We have a Glowforge and I've had a K80. Agree with this comment, but the GF does work, and my artsy gf who is afraid of machines likes it..
rovino
Good to know

. - and I am wondering if you can steer me towards a unit that is strong enough to etch stainless and simple to use, thanks
Varcova
You want a fiber laser. 0.8sqft working areas and 'marking' power for metal starting around USD$2500
CakeShapedPie
Along with cermark, you can use a co2 laser to etch a mask and then sandblast or electroetch metals like stainless
NotSoFatTony84
Fiber laser is the only way to etch stainless really. Or a high powered co2. You can spray additives to the surface of metal and use a...
Varcova
It's going to be hard to get a CO2 laser powerful enough for metal marking outside of industrial equipment (and industrial pricing)
NotSoFatTony84
Etching like they asked about, sure. You can always use additives to mark it though. Not sure what the cut off for industrial price is but..
NotSoFatTony84
Co2 laser but it isn't etching. The additive is "Cermark" or at least one of them... bunch of different brands.
NotSoFatTony84
Use a lower powered co2*
Varcova
I own a $500 OMT K40 and a $18,000 FSL 90W. If you struggle to get a normal paper printer working, go with the glowforge. Otherwise 1/
rovino
Thanks for telling me about OMtech I’m now leaning towards the K50 for the bigger work space & upgraded controller to use lightburn.
Varcova
take the $1000+ savings and put it into vector catalogs, materials, design software/courses, safety equipment (CO2 extenquisher, vents) 2/
Varcova
and if you are doing this for income, web-presence. The k40s work just as well as the glow forge as far as engraving and cut quality matter.
necroticon
Out of interest, what would be the cheapest basic-est entry-level setup you'd consider? Still around the K40 level, or is there cheaper?
Varcova
A diode laser w/ enclosure. No coolant,fits on a small desk, as cheap as $200, can etch woods and cut paper. Most are plug and play.
