XTool D1 Laser cutter

My latest classroom project with the XTool Laser cutter... Cardboard Prototyping! https://sites.google.com/vcsvikings.org/cardboardprototyping

Last spring I got an XTool D1 laser cutter/engraver for my classroom.  This thing is super cool!  I will also add that I also got an enclosure for it that makes it a lot safer to use with students.  No need to worry about fumes and laser light.  We built a simple, but effective exhaust fan system that allows us to remove any smoke (very light) and fumes from the cutting/engraving process.  We've been making all sorts of things, but I really look forward to tackling some cool projects with the kids.  One idea we have is to make a huge wall mounted Rube Goldberg using a combination of laser cut items (wood) and 3D printed parts.
