There was plenty of excited chatter when Greg Holloway posted his MicroSlice laser cutter on Instructables<\/a> last year. Much of this involved people asking “where, when and how can I get one?” Well, the good news is that this diminutive digital manufacturing device is now the subject of a Kickstarter campaign,<\/a> and the pledges are coming in fast.<\/p>\n

The MicroSlice is a nifty little unit. Once you take a closer look, it is easy to see why it won the 2013 Instructables Radioshack Microcontroller Contest. Imagine a laser cutter that sits on your desktop. Not impressed? Consider that it sits on your desktop, and takes up less space than a bowl of cereal. Less space than a takeout container. Less space than a burger with the lot. In fact it takes up less space than the power supply from a regular sized laser cutter.<\/p>\n

How To Start A Kickstarter<\/h2>\n

Everything you need to know about how to start a Kickstarter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See the ultimate guide here<\/a><\/div>\n

The MicroSlice is a Build-It-Yourself kit, uses Open Source Software, and can be easily assembled at home by just about anyone.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The MicroSlice can cut paper, and engrave wood & plastic. Kits include an Arduino UNO R3 as well as 97 laser-cut parts and all necessary hardware to get up and running. The laser diode is a 100mw red laser, similar to what you’d find inside a DVD-RW drive. An option is available to supercharge the MicroSlice with a 200mw laser.<\/p>\n

With a truly miniature work area of 50mm x 50mm (2″ x 2″) users will be choosing their projects carefully. \u00a0For bigger projects, there is always<\/span> <\/span>Ponoko.<\/a><\/p>\n
