Does anyone have any experience with the Kit O Mat software that allows you to design your own building then have a custom laser kit made from the design? What are its capabilities? Its limitations? How easy was the software to use? How expensive did you think the end product was? How did the building you designed with it look? Was it easy to assemble, ect?
I’m looking at building a particular station; I have some good photos and I don’t think the design is all that challenging. Currently, my thoughts are to scratch build it from styrene & use commercially available windows & doors (probablyTichy). BUT… I’ve always wanted to try a laser kit; this might be an opportunity to “kill two birds with one stone.”
The only practical thing I’ve seen was an article in one of the model magazines shortly after the software was released (a review). I thought at the time, the end result was a bit pricey but after spending some time looking at other laser kits, perhaps their pricing wasn’t all that far out of line. I also wonder if that reviewer was given a little “additional latitude” due to the nature of his work. I’m not saying that the review wasn’t factual but that perhaps the company spent a bit more time in working with him than they may with other customers.
One request please… be specific as to whether your response is opinion & second hand as opposed to actual “hands on” experience. Everyone knows someone whose next door neighbor’s brother-in-law’s third cousin’s dentist’s pet groomer had a college roommate who knows someone who really did get a check from Microsoft & AOL because they used the email tracking program that we all have heard about. Unfortunately, I’m sure that someowhere along the line some details got changed. So pleas
