Thanks to all the campers, counselors, itp staff and everyone else who helped with the Lasersaur! Some put in many hours of building, some tightened a screw or held a piece in place, all of you were part of the build.

The build will continue. there is work remaining on the electronics system, and we are waiting for the laser to arrive, then we will work on the optics. Eric and I will continue working during the summer.

Documentation will also continue, I will turn the fumetti into a PDF with links to Addie and Stefan’s build instructions and other relevant stuff when the Lasersaur build is over.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and thanks again.

Tom and I skyped Addie and Stefan Monday morning. Tom wanted to confirm that aluminum honeycomb would be a good choice of material for the work surface. He also had questions about the air assist- they use an air compressor, some users prefer liquid nitrogen, but an air compressor should be OK. I had a question about the rhino model, Stefan identified what the discrepancies in the gantry system are, lock washers and a few screws.

I skyped about a part later in the day, we got a 100 mm extrusion that was 40mm x40mm, rather than 20mm x 40mm. Thank you Jackson for cutting the new piece! Rob skyped later in the day about dealing with the laser manufacturer.
