Lasers from blu-ray writers would be even better, but then I would need to make enclosure, tweak power supply to limit max current and in the end the output power would be around 300mW, which would mean very slow work. Yes, that would be very cost-effective, but I suspect that my client would not be satisfied with the performance - I already told not to expect anything close to "normal" laser engravers, but I think that that would be too slow.
