I've been into 3d printing for a while now and have been working on some model rockets that could really benefit from having some wood fins instead of plastic. I know I'd use it often, but I want to be safe (I'm in my teens and don't want to regret things later on) but I only have a $250 budget. I've looked at the Elegoo Phecda and it looks promising considering I want to run the laser cutter outside or in a garage with the door open so I don't need a filter. I've seen both Maker's Muse's and Faux Hammer's laser cutting safety videos and have honestly been a bit scared away by them. I'll make sure to get a quality pair of safety glasses to protect my eyes but was wondering what yall think about using the laser cutter outside. Also, what wattage laser would yall recomend?
