I will buy one when they are ready to ship for this same price. If they can afford to take 50 points off them before shipping a unit they should be able to hit that price point later. I miss having laser cutters...but no way on a preorder.

But that registration camera is just too slick. Really innovative.

Vinyl and a Co2 laser = hydro cloride gas. I have cut PETG and other plastics/wood on a Trotec 200 w/ Nonvented charcoal filter and it still smells = not completely filtered. If you are doing a lot of cutting you need high static pressure/appropriate CFMs to vent that crap. But in my home for small projects, eh...not super worried about it.

There are some vinyl cutters that have software that sells access to their cloud database of ready to cut artwork. Since they are not directly targeting designers, I suspect this is what they're planning.
