Any videos of it cutting fabric?

Hi @tlalexander,
Saw this on HN a while ago, just wondering if you ever got it working and cutting fabric out? 🙏
It's a very cool and inspiring project! 👌

Oh no, do you have any tips or resources to get started? Or is it not worth cutting clothes with a laser cutter? 😅

It’s definitely worth cutting clothes with lasers. It is my life’s dream! The worst part of sewing is cutting. I’m just more of a novice with this type of engineering. Programming, Im good - but this I need hand holding instructions 🤣

Hello! Sorry, I have a half-finished video that needs a voice over, but I have uploaded an incomplete version here which shows of some of the features of this laser! The intro was recorded a year ago but at this point I have used it a lot and its pretty cool! However the axis that rides on the rails is very likely to run in to binding issues, so it could be improved. I would suggest making the system as is and then improving it once you understand it. I would love to see where people can take this project!

Nice video @tlalexander ! 👌
I really like the camera that scans the clothes first too, such an elegant method for getting a template that can replicate clothes you actually wear. And it slips under the rug when you're done, so good!! 😁

Thank you! Yes I genuinely think it is a wonderful machine. More people should have one, yet I am so busy with work[1] that I am unable to put more time in to this. So even though I don't have much documentation, I truly hope people will try to build this design and improve upon it!
