Hypnotized

Yep that would work too!

I figured it's worth sharing mistakes for people to learn from.

That could work orI think I could potentially shorten the front legs so it tilts more forward. This is a few years old now, it's mainly just my chair for sitting.

Nicely done 👍

I have never needed to adjust for laser kerf with that site. Put in the thickness of the material and it does the rest.

Do it! Be sure to share what you come up with!

The seems like a good candidate for a series of images.

Definitely post it!

I designed this from scratch but it's very simple

You just put in the dimensions you want and it spits out the cut file. Once you have that you can just add your button placements in whatever software you use.

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.

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.

Looks like a nice gift!
