minus-squareClay_pidgin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoDo laser engravers have a consumable component? It’s not like there’s a tank of liquid photons.
minus-squareBread@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoThe laser part is consumable, albeit very slowly. Moving parts age with wear and tear.

Electricity is pretty consumable
