Safety, control systems (as in, not locked into the cloud like Glowforge), and practical material thicknesses that can be cut

Sintering/welding ability on a few different materials (can sinter just a 1-layer pattern on a small pile of powder for testing...no need to build chambers, scrapers, etc.)

Etching different coatings would be a really good one - I think only the 20W lasers will do anodizing (not sure about powder coating, I think a few people have done videos on that but I can’t recall any off the top of my head). Would be really interesting to see the difference between laser types and what type will etch what coating to what degree

Depends on cost. If cost isn't that much more, the most powerful one.

Differences in focal points and beam quality. How they react on different materials.

Both can engrave, so a cut test on different materials and thicknesses would be good. Are you still going to make the cad files available for the co2? I would like to build one as well. Great job!

Beam quality of both lasers, maybe even reference to fibre lasers? Which is worse or better (gauss profile or more top-hat?)

Hi, i just saw your videos and they are awesome and inspiring. Great job! I have a 6090 CNC at home, i guess i can add/mount to it the needed CO2 parts, and then to switch between the spindle and the laser. Is it right?

Are you going to release the other building files besides the case files?

Currently working on a diode vs CO2 laser video. What tests would you like to see?
