Learn.dallasmakerspace.org has an online class with a quiz that gets you signed off on the thunder lasers. If you previously owned one I don’t think it should be difficult for you.

EDIT: I was not aware laser procedure has been recently updated to require in person classes.

You are actually required to attend a machine side class to learn our workflows.

Thank you for the update. I wasn’t aware that laser has decided to move to an in-person machine side procedure for approval (I understand the likely desire to reduce improper usage). I see on learn the updated information under the “Machine Authorization Classes” tab: “The Thunder lasers require that you attend a Laser Boot Camp class for access. This can be a stand alone Bootcamp class, or a project class that includes the mini-Bootcamp.”

But there may be some pages that have not yet been updated with the latest information such as the following. (Laser Classes - Laser - DMS Source) The area rules on source also still state “in person or online.” (Laser Area Rules - Laser - DMS Source)

I apologize for any confusion my response my have generated.
