Welcome to my little wiki / blog. Over the last few years I did a lot of DIY projects (mostly related to smart home, electronics, 3D printing, IoT etc.). Through all my work I searched thousands of websites, blogs, and communities for the information I needed. I could finish most of my projects successfully because of others sharing their knowledge, so I didn’t have to start from scratch. That’s why I finally started my little project here because I want to provide my knowledge and give it back to the community. Currently, I’m playing a lot with diode laser engravers, so most information you find here is related to them.
I can only provide guides and tips for hardware that I own/can test, so if your hardware / brand is missing, feel free to contact me, I’m happy to add additional guides at any time!
Beginners guides
Here are the most important articles for getting started with (diode) lasers. This wiki contains many more articles, which can be found in the list below.

I use Sculpfun laser engravers, which I highly recommend. All models are easily expandable, as shown in the instructions on this page. Of course, most knowledge presented here also applies to all other diode laser brands as well. So, it should help you even if you don’t own a Sculpfun laser. Since I don’t own many other laser types, I can’t provide hands-on experience on those. But most systems are very similar.
