Advertised Laser cut files----good or stay away?

Post by Espnman74 »

Hello all,

I am new to the laser engraving business and I see advertising for several laser engraving and cut files that contain thousands of files. I am looking at Laser Master Pieces which claims to have over 150,000 files for like $70. Im just not sure if this is the best one out there on the market to get. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you
Mark

Or does anyone want to share one? I’m sure most, if not all, are available free. Would just lake ages to collect them all.

Most of them will have foreign files and files with no directions in them. I have gotten one in the past and it is a mess. I will try and capture a directory listing so you see what I mean.

Here is a directory list of one of the files in the pack so you can see how unorganized they are.
filenames.txt
I will go one further and give you an example file. Here is the picture - looks cool...now figure out how to assemble :)

I have 1 directory with files organized like the one attached, if memory serves me well, from a site in Spain, it has 8,000 files but it's 2.40 Gig. They were public, so I have no copyright information.
Name of the file:

alligator.rar
.

I am not that smart when it comes to giving files but i have a site one of the people here gave out. ive found a ton of useful files. some are done funny as far as using 1 line to close 2 shapes and you have to cut all together. some i cant because of bed size, you get the picture.

there is another site but you have to buy the files. the guy is really good and ive got about 30 of his files.
