[LS169] Flying Galvos or Fiber Fantasy - The ACCELaser Hype

Michael Mullins (Laser Engraving 911) joins the crew to break down the new ACCELaser - a hybrid fiber/diode system that’s got the maker world buzzing. They dig into how it blends fiber-laser speed with gantry precision, what makes its “no-stitch” flying-galvo tech different, and how its partnership with LightBurn could redefine usability for complex jobs. The talk expands into production realities: batch work, shop automation, and what kinds of engravers this machine is (and isn’t) for. Plus, a look at Kickstarter pricing, market competition, and why transparency between developers and LightBurn might finally make “flying galvos” viable for everyday users.
