Looked at several videos - this method is the best by far. Just wondering whether the cheap laser engravers on dx.com might also be suitable as laser should create an even cleaner edge.
Hello. Thank You for kind words. Cheap laser will not work i tried and cells cracked. Maybe there are lasers that will work but rather expensive ones. I focus on making things diy in garage using few dollar tools, that's my goal. Best regards Greg
Always against the direction you are cutting. So if you are going left to right, you want the blade to be spinning clockwise. You wouldn't want to turn your solar cell into a projectile.
+Raoulos Iers Hello i don't think it is possible but You never now worth trying. Sunpower cells are copper plate covered with silica and are different than any others. It is not like a cristal rather composite material. Regards Greg

Which direction should we rotate the blade?
Always against the direction you are cutting. So if you are going left to right, you want the blade to be spinning clockwise. You wouldn't want to turn your solar cell into a projectile.
Thank you for the tip!

Great to see that inplix has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
Do you think it's possible to cut a Sunpower cell with a glass cut ?
+Raoulos Iers Hello i don't think it is possible but You never now worth trying. Sunpower cells are copper plate covered with silica and are different than any others. It is not like a cristal rather composite material.
