Any bets on when X-TOOL will release their first 3D handheld SCANNER to CREATE the mesh files? It has a pass through cabinet, water cooling, an exhaust fan and other features too.
Okay, so I already own FOUR X tool lasers (or SIX, if you are counting laser heads.) My two new 40 Watt Blue Diode laser heads just arrived, and I haven't even hooked THEM up yet to play with them. Now X-TOOL dangles this $^%*# CARROT in front of me!
I am sitting here trying to figure out HOW to raise the money for what I REALLY want, which is the KERN OPTIFLEX laser table, but at nearly $180,000.00, it is WAAAAAYYYYY beyond my piggy bank's capacity.
I have not really looked at any of the "Chinese" CO2 lasers. There are so many others too. I won't mention the names here.
X-TOOL is offering a $1,000.00 discount on the P2 if I pre-pay a $100.00 deposit NOW, bringing the cost of the machines down from $5,000.00 to $4,000.00. This is SO tempting.
The $64,000.00 Question ... Do I sell off all of the X-Tool lasers machines and spare heads, and rotary and filter and etc. etc., and pour all of that money into ONE serious CO2 machine, or do I just scrape up another $4K and hop onto the X-TOOL thrill ride once again?
I must say that I am really happy with the X-TOOL machine that IS assembled and running, and Lightburn makes it awesome. I am trying to find the time to set up the other lasers, and get started on building a large stock of Christmas stuff WAY before the last minute rush.
It is like buying a Brand X cordless power drill, and then spare batteries, and an extra charger, and the matched saw and rotary tool, and the 12 other MUST HAVE things that they have come out with ... only to then discover that Brand Y has come out with something so freaking awesome, that you seriously consider selling all of the Brand X stuff to your neighbor at a discount, JUST so you can apply the money to the new Brand Y stuff! And what happens on the way home from your Brand Y spending orgy? You see a billboard showing you what Brand Z just released! DANG!!!!!

Come on, LOTTO!
