I am diving head-first into diy laser engraving/cutting with pic related kit. I ordered longer rails and extra belt to replace original frame to give myself more room to work/fuck up. Does anyone out there have recommendations on how to best go about getting started?

Etch your name in a piece of wood. I'm sure this is how everyone gets their start.

Can that be used to cut paper? 180g/m^2cardboard?

few basic tips from when I've used these:
get an extractor or do it outside, the fumes aren't good for you

try and cut in one pass, re-running sections burns the sheet pretty badly

cut a circle first, they're least affected by axis acceleration
