While researching which Laser Cutter to get, I went down the "rabbit hole" of understanding how Fibre Lasers work:

Sadly, the price of a Fibre Laser Cutter is way out of budget for the next few years ...

I did find a Supplier in Porto that Sells CO2 Laser cutters:

I'm going to try and see how far I can get with the Maslow dwyl/workshop#71 before I make the decision as to what size of Laser Cutter I "need" in order to do the projects I have in mind.
