Howto

Install the drivers and plug in the powered laser cutter. The machine should be recognized as a regular printer. Basically thats it, you print to it. The epilog vastly prefers Corel Draw as the design program so I recommend that. You can get a trial at http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1208530085783 Vector cuts must be 'hairline' or between .001 and .007 inches wide (depending on resolution), all else rasters.

Buying Materials

Plastics

You probably want acrylic.

  • Port Plastics 480 813 6118 - Good selection of remnants (rems or cutoffs) for fairly cheap

Wood

Cheap plywood can give mixed results due to the glue and air in between layers. However for the price you still can't beat it.

  • Home Depot
  • Lowes
