I bought that game without looking at the Steam page because I mixed the name up with FTL: Faster Than Light. I wouldn't consider it a game so much as an interactive story, but I will say that it was the best mistake I ever made. That image pretty much summed up my reaction to it.

Yes it just wouldn't cut all the way through. And yes you can send multiple passes to cut through semi thick material but you need a special lens for thicker material. They cost about 300 USD or so...
If you want to cut out 3d objects you'd need a CNC machine which is really expensive or you could use a 3d printer. They are getting cheaper than they used to be. Some colleges have CNC machines you can use and machine shops have them of course.

Jelly as fuark.
While I've been building up my collection of tools over the past few years, as of yet I don't have the room or money for any larger tools like a drill press. I'm considering building a shed by the house, but power supply would be an issue.
So anyway, what would happen if you tried to cut a material that was too thick? If all it would do is cut part-way through without damaging anything, would it be possible to do multiple passes to vary the depth and cut out a 3D shape?

Hehe yes I got your book! Muahaha can't wait to begin reading it. I will post a thing or two on it whenever I get around to it. Thanks for the fast delivery!!!
The mail man had crammed the book into my tiny mail box rather than delivering it to the door...

Nope. Playing F:NV at the moment too. Running the latest version and graphics card drivers. It's crapped out once when entering a new area but that's it.

I'm also trying to do a playthrough of New Vegas, (though not recording it, because I'm not funny) but it keeps crashing. Are you having any stability problems on your system?

Well it wasn't entirely cheap, right under 2500! For a laser cutter it's pretty cheap as the next level up lasers go for around 8000. They, well this one can cut 1/8" plywood, acrylic, really thin sheet metal I think and just about anything else that is as weak or weaker.
Cardboard, museum board, chipboard and paper are some other options.

I don't know if it's casual or something happened to you, but your voice seems to have a shortness-of-breath-feel to it that affects me just by listening to it.
