I do think it's going to take quite a long time to heat the house with it though

You might notice on the bottom left that there is the outline of a smoker box. Having seen what my ex could produce with a 60W CO2 LASER, I wanted to see what this 20W diode one could do, so knocked up a smoker box gasket in Fusion.
Amazon delivered some Flexoid oil-resistant paper last week so, having used standard A4 printer paper to learn the GUI in LightBurn, I gave it a go with the Flexoid to make some gaskets. The picture above shows a smoker box filled with baby oil, to see how well the gasket performs.
I have some projects in the pipeline which will require LASER cut aluminium parts, so will use this one to mock them up in plywood or MDF to test the size and fit etc.
