minus-squareClay_pidgin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoDo laser engravers have a consumable component? It’s not like there’s a tank of liquid photons.
minus-squareBread@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoThe laser part is consumable, albeit very slowly. Moving parts age with wear and tear.
minus-squareSteamymoomilk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoAssuming its a CO2 tube laser. It does have a certain runtime until the tube burns out. And its like $300 for a new tube depending on the model and wattage
minus-squareTwotone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoDo laser engravers take much time to do a run? I suppose time is consumable if there’s a queue of stuff needing to be done.

Electricity is pretty consumable
