I have an old Trotec laser engraver. It was built in 1998 and worked quite well until this summer 2023. So I would say that it was a very reliable machine but it now suffers from its old age:
So it was time to trash this machine... But it looked so professionnal that I decided to refurbish it with more modern electronics.
Follow this project to see how all this can work as expected !
