Anyone have any experience with this?
Strongly considering adding a xTool F2 Ultra UV to the hobby, but it’s quite costly and I’m unsure if I’d use it enough to justify it.
Any other laser experience also appreciated

    Good advice.
    I have a full exhaust setup that sucks everything outside, but it’s good to be extra cautious with these things

      Even with an exhaust setup, pvc creates chlorine gas which only takes a little breathing in to kill you. Filter plus exhaust

          No worries! Laser engraving is fun, but it doesn’t burn through stuff so much as vaporizes it, most home hobbyist level companies don’t do a good job of warning you of the dangers. PVC = Chlorine Gas and ABS = Cyanide gas are good rules of thumb
