@stolas yeah that's why the powerful part, burned or engraved into something slowly to really show how it uses randomness mostly
@CobaltVelvet @stolas Ooh, fun. i always support lasers.
You can get a (relatively) cheap laser from https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/ and make your own power supply (a few batteries and <$5 worth of parts)
something like https://sites.google.com/site/dtrlpf/home/diodes/osram-pltb450b-1-6w-450nm would be plenty powerful for engraving wood.
also as someone who almost decided to be a laser safety officer instead of a computer person, i think i am required to tell you to be extra safe https://www.survivallaserusa.com/Eagle_Pair__190-540nm_Standard_Laser_Safety_Goggles/p1667092_7862033.aspx
@stolas yeah, mostly for the expensive part
@CobaltVelvet sounds like a great idea
@CobaltVelvet world domination?
