2000 PC order! Whats going to wear out first?

Beyond the Manual

So this will be my biggest order to date:
2000 pc of acrylic parts 1/2 inch .

Saving grace is the Microbot PUSH app on my Iphone.

If only the the PRINT SCAN would happen after I close the LID, how nice that would be.

Whats going to wear out first, the BELT _ THE LASER _ THE LID or something else I am not aware of. ???

Why would any of them wear out for the order?

Keep clean optics and it’ll be fine.

Sounds like it might take a while though with 1/2" stock.

Yeah that is why I was concerned because that is 2000 pc but we are talking about many passes 6 to 8 even. So trying to get ahead of this with parts if needed.

How long is the job run time / per sheet?

I struggle with the fact that it’s going to take quite a while with a 40/45w laser and don’t see how that time could be passed on in the quote for it to make financial sense. I’d personally look at outsourcing the job to a shop with greater cutting capabilities that could do the job much faster. It would eat into your end margin, but you wouldn’t have the time sink…

I agree, that’s alot for a hobby machine and a one person business. I never tried Pokono but heard good things
