[LS172] AI Monkeys, Toxic Basketballs & Amazon Laser Deals
Manage episode 519089579 series 2965796
This week’s show jumps between chaos and good shop talk in true Laser Source fashion. The crew starts joking about AI monkey photos and cats pulling lasers, then moves into serious ground—why “leather” basketballs are dangerously toxic to engrave, when not to trust “genuine” labels, and why safety beats experimentation. From there, the conversation widens to deal-hunting, from Amazon Prime Day steals on engravers and Brilliance inks to CO₂ Galvo vs gantry pros and cons. Between laughs, they cover wiring fires, glass engraving myths, and the ever-growing LE material safety database - plus some community ideas that might reshape the site.
