<div><br></div>
<div>tog.ie is currently in the process of building their own lasersaur. I asked a friend of mine there what the approximate cost was for all their parts and he estimated about €4800. I’d wager that shipping costs to Ireland wouldn’t have been trivial so it could be cheaper again for us to source the parts. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I’ll try to catch up with someone there and see how they’re getting along with it / source more details. </div>

<div>the total materials cost from the BoM is around $8k if you purchase from that list. </div>

<div>the last i heard, the current laser cutter needed a replacement part, can someone confirm/deny?</div>

<div>sidenote: as a Concerned Citizen of the People's Republic of Nosebridge, i'd prefer if the laser built as a result of this effort wasn't automatically a public use item, i.e. if one wants to use the laser they need to take a short class to get laser-certified like at techshop or something. </div>
