New from Kbin. I’ve been using my Ender 3 V2 3d printer for a while but would love something that could cut foam, paper, and wood, as well as burning designs. Are there machines that can do this for cheap?

I have a k40, it's a Chinese laser cutter that can be had for around $400.

It's been great for me.

I second the k40. I've had mine a few years and it's a champ. I have exhaust hooked up so everything gets vented. Those open air diode lasers scare me I'd def burn my eyes out.
