Campaign
explaining the costs
Why do we spend how much on what? 10 % overhead for club mate and chips, since people need to live to work ;)
Goals
Raise money for different enhancements for the recently build laser cutter.
Main goal
Motorize the Z-Axis
ca. 300€
To cut or engrave objects of different sizes, the cutting surface has to be movable on the Z-axis. With 300€ we can motorize it.
We start with a small goal to get the campaign rolling. There is nothing more frustrating than a campaign with a big goal missed by a little. Stretch goals will keep people engaged
Stretch goal 1
Replacement laser source
ca. 1000€
Sooner or later the Laser will need a replacement.
Stretch goal 2
Stronger laser
min. 500€
If backers add some money to stretch goal 1, we can buy a laser with more cutting power. With a little research on lasers this goal is incremental, since we can always buy a stronger laser with more €.
Stretch goal 3
Motorized Z-focus
To keep the laser in focus even if the cutting a motorized Z-axis on the laser focus with a range finder would be nice
Stretch goal 4
more laser safety googles
Stretch goal 5
Workstation
Nice computer to operate the laser cutter, with nice features to make designs.
Any money in-between
Cutting material
The money in-between goals will be spend on cutting material like wood, plexiglas etc.
