Well, so...
I might be getting a 3D printer this christmas. And I can 3d print a head attachment that allows me to use a laser head, to make it into a laser engraver as well.
My question, is it possible to etch away copper PCB's using the more high powered lasers, or is that really only possible with CO2 level power/wavelength?
If not, I can always use permanent marker and use a violet laser to etch away the marker, and make the PCB that way, but removing the middleman in that equation would make a lot more sense you know? :)
