Setting the bar high! Nice one
They are scary stories written for kids. The covers are usually colorfully illustrated. https://story-arc-blog.com/2020/10/30/all-62-classic-goosebumps-covers-ranked/
Regarding power consumption I found this on the Trotec laser website. In the example they provide they are working with an 80watt laser so cut that in half for the K40. They are a commercial laser company so they are also assuming you are cutting every day.
https://www.troteclaser.com/en-us/learn-support/faqs/laser-power-consumption
In order to give you a specific figure for power consumption, we have drafted the following example:
A Speedy 400 laser machine with 80 watts laser power An average effective working time of 2 hours a day Of which 50% of the time with maximum laser power (80 > watts) and 50% of the time with half laser power (40 watts) This results in a power consumption of approx. 50 kWh per month, which corresponds to the consumption of 2 office PCs. This is always a surprisingly low value for many customers.
I don't think it actually pulls too much current, compared to other power tools. It's powered off 115v, amps aren't super high. Less than most of my tools.
I have not used blender or a 3d printer but I would guess it's probably a lot easier to design since it's 2d. There is a little more planning maybe because you have to visual how the 2d plans will come together in real life.
I think you would have no problem if you are already doing 3d printing
Nice, I have used 'anatomy textbooks illustrations' in some of my prompts to good effect to. Try that one out if you havent.
This is a cool style!
Very nice! What's next on the shop build list?
Looks great
I'd say think of it as a learning exercise, where the end result is something your kids can enjoy. Better to make mistakes on ~$50 worth of material, where the end result will be loved no matter what. Maybe just don't start it a few days before Christmas ;)

Kitchen Set for the Kids
(lemm.ee)
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/654873
The carcass is built from 1/2 sanded plywood assembled with pocket hole screws. In this picture I am filling all the seams and nail holes with filler.
I used hardboard for the moulding, which was glued and tact to the plywood. Again the holes were filled and then everything would be sanded down. The knobs were cut from some cherry scraps and are fitted with bolts through the front so that they can turn freely.
Maple scraps for the feet.
Primed and painted. I was running short in time so made a quick faucet and backsplash out of more cherry scraps. I had wanted to do something more detailed but it was after 11pm Christmas Eve when I was adding the final details and I needed to get it done and out for the kids by morning.
The oven door is plexiglass, with some metal screen spray glued onto the inside.
Burners installed and ready to set out for the kids
A few hours later
It's been 2.5 years since I made this and I have to say this has probably gotten the most use of any toy they have, and has held up without issues.

Cat Wall Art

Some random build pictures. I didn't do a great job documenting this build.
I have made a few of these as gifts for cat lovers in the family. The cats are made of three layers of 3mm birch plywood cut out on my laser cutter.
A few other versions I have made

Entryway Closet Renovation
(i.imgur.com)
Build Album: https://imgur.com/a/hWDC7lX
Built back in 2015 so the cellphone picture quality isn't great by today's standards.
I was just getting into woodworking as a hobby back then and my mom asked if I would turn her entryway closet into something with more open space. This was the result.

Lemmings Based Woodworking Community Banner Ideas
(i.imgur.com)
Was playing around with some Ai generated banner for another community and thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if I tried Lemmings doing woodworking.
Just sharing for fun. It sort of makes the lemmings look angry, lol
Edit: user Tallwookie requested
Two banners to commemorate the guy that asked how to not poop for 3 days

Spent some time creating a bunch of matchbox cars with prompts from my kids. Try coming up with some of your own and posting them here.
