It’s the first and only laser cutter my 11 year old artist would ever be excited about. She keeps asking me when it will ship. I know she won’t bother to learn 2D CAD, but she’ll get her creations made anyway.
And for me, I use CAD software, but it’s nice that I can cut freehand shapes too! For decorative pieces, freehand is quicker than CAD.
The disadvantage, for now, is the waiting. But my early bird pricing makes up for that.
