Building the best Games Room ever How to make unique decorations using lasers and the TwoTrees TTS-20 Pro


We start laser cutting cool objects for our games room with the Two Trees TTS-20 Pro laser cutter. This could get dangerous.

Laser-cutting devices have really come down in price, and while they may never get to be quite as popular as a 3D printer as they are a bit more niche, that also gives us the perfect opportunity to make some stuff that literally none of your gaming friends will ever have. They use a similar kind of code, a lot of the same parts such as stepper motors and extrusion railes and they have that same DIY feel about them that 3D printers had until recently when Bambu Labs, QidiTech, and Creality started to produce more consumer-facing products. The TTS-20 Pro connects immediately to LightBurn and after running some strength tests on to balsa wood it felt like time to get cutting some of the things we wanted to make.
