Top engraving, 100 watt kern laser, bottom image is modified K40 laser.
Really cool, both of them! What Kind of wood is that? And how can I create one?
What were the modifications to the K40?
What gcode generator?
I think thats in poplar, but Ive run them in maple etc…
Its a K40 modified to be run by a PoKeys57CNC board under
Auggie , a free cnc controller that will only run a Pokeys575CNC board.
Auggie generates the Gcode for laser imaging on its own, but its GCode is specific to the program as it incorporates the image file as a datafile attached to the Gcode. You will find threads on using Auggie at http://www.gearotic.com in the forum. Both Auggie and the forum are free, but you have to email to get an account to stop the spam bots.
There are threads from a few of K40 users showing how it was done.
