    Exclamation DIY laser sintering

    I just did my first tests with a 80 watt CO2 laser cutter (self built) and white sand.

    The results can be seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN0lS5CSkmk

    Re: DIY laser sintering

    First interesting post for many months.
    My advices:
    Dont waist your time with the sand.
    1. Your laser is not strong enough.
    2. RF laseers are better because of pulsed working
    3. Flying optics is not a way. You need galvo head.
    So you better go with special plastics for laser sintering but without galvos you will not reach real success.
