In the technical sheet showing the different configurations, I couldn't see the 3.0
But I mailed the rep the following config:
Speedy 300
80watt laser
Honeycomb table
Lens: 2.0 and 2.5
Rotary attachment
Still waiting for a reply.
I think I saw something about a discount for SMC members, but any idea how much that is?
Also I told the rep, that I will be attending a trade show in Germany (trotec is represented there) in a few weeks, so might push him a bit on the price
You might want to reconsider the honeycomb table. It's not very strong and unless you do a lot of cutting of very thin material then you'd be better off with the ferromagnetic table. I use an aluminum grid that I bought online and made a frame to hold it above the bed to allow for airflow, it was about $200USD and works great! The other nice thing about the ferromagnetic table is that you can use magnets to hold down thin/bent/warped materials.
My Honeycomb table is magnetic and has held up close to 5 years now , Just sayin

The honeycomb table that came with my Trotec is well made and quite substantial. That said, I usually use an acrylic grid as I cut a fair amount of plastic and it leaves the back of the plastic fairly clean.

whats so different about a trotec honeycomb and my honeycomb. Mines well built has a solid frame and is magnetic. I can't see where a trotec would be much different.

The Trotec grid is aluminum but sturdier than the typical aluminum grids I've seen with other machines. The frame is rigid, square and reversible so that you can use English or metric rules.

I have the 80w Trotec, awesome machine. I suggest 1.5”, 2” and 4” lens. Those are the 3 main things that make your CO2 so versatile, and I would get them before any of the accessory beds. You can cut and engrave Anything on the basic cutting table that comes with the machine and a few scrap pieces of acrylic for spacers. I do not cut much wood so no comment there, however the 80w is awesome for engraving wood, laminates, marking aluminum, and acrylic. The 80w will cut through 15mm acrylic in one pass with no trouble approx 10” per minute. I haven’t tried thicker but I would guess 20mm would be about the max thickness in 1 slowwww pass.
As for other items that I sure use a lot would be a digital caliper, and blue masking tape.
