Hey guys,

I've managed to build a small business over the past 18 months using my Acmer P3 24/48w. I make multiple variations of the one product, which is cut from 1.5mm basswood ply and has fine line mode engraving and a 0.5 line spacing fill for a nice hatch effect.

The 24W mode on the Acmer module is completely adequate for cutting and has a small enough dot size to achieve the desired engraving quality. It's around 0.08-0.1 I'd say.

However, I've had my share of problems with the gantry and build quality of the Acmer P3. I've upgraded various components and fixed various faults but I'm still not completely happy with the machine and I don't have complete faith in it. Like I said, I've only had it for a year and a half.

What machines would you guys recommend I look take a look at? I'm based in the UK and I have a budget up to around 3k.

Thanks!

So, I have a friend who is looking for an old sighting video that he saw at least 15 years ago, maybe more. I’ve asked him to describe it best he can and this is what he said:

It’s daytime and a man is filming at the perimeter fence of some of base. There are 5 or 6 dark objects hanging in the sky fairly low (think the height of two houses). Two apache helicopters are then approaching from a distance and the dark objects begin to fade/disappear slowly one by one. 30-40 seconds long.

It would absolutely make his day if anyone was able to find this video. I really appreciate any help.
