A super amazingly cool local resident donated a gently used OMTech 60-watt laser cutter that is basically the updated version of Blue. While the laser is operational, we need a replacement chiller, a Windows 11 PC to drive it, and some hardware to manage the exhaust venting.

A Xerocraft member is offering to match your donations*. So whatever you donate gets instantly doubled. Cool, right?

We need about $750 all in to bring this online. Please add your tax-deductible contribution to our fund and help us get this done!

Thank You for Your Support!

NOTE: Please add "Laser Shop Fundraiser" to the notes box on your donation! Thanks!

(*Matching funds are limited.)

For a $25 donation, get a personalized "5 Things" black metal card with the 5 key steps for operating the laser. Super Handy!

For a $50 donation (or more) get the 5 Things card, AND a free Advanced Lightburn or other Laser Shop class! (Schedule TBD.)

All donors get the first training on using the new machine.

Running our Co2 Lasers is an expensive part of Xerocraft's operations. It's our goal to continue to offer laser shop access at no additional cost to members. Your contributions can help us!

For instance:

• A new lens is needed three or four times a year. Each one is about $27
• A 60-watt replacement tube is about $300 and they have been lasting about a year.
• Power consumption for the lasers, chillers, air assist and exhaust fans is part of our substantial monthly electric bill
