Hallo to the team!
Nice things and nice builds i have found here!
Time to show mine …Before two months ago i buy the famous 40w Laser from Ebay and i get to work immediately, increase the cutting area in about 660mm x 300mm and now i work on the bed and i cut new laser adjustable head with air assist on the lathe.

Hope you Like it…

Looks pretty spectacular :slight_smile: The red is better than the blue :smiley: Sounds like it moves really smoothly too. Interesting to see your Y-stepper at the back rather than front.

Very nice. Where do you plan to place the second mirror? Are you sharing your part design?

@Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y is Orange! and Yes indeed looks way better than the blue…

@Kostas_Filosofou I didn’t notice the lack of 2nd mirror that @Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty noticed. I’m imagining you will have some mount floating to the right of the x-stepper?

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty @Yuusuf_Sallahuddin_Y I place it above the motor … Yes after i finish i share the parts in thingiverse or in the Grabcad maybe …

@Kostas_Filosofou I love this, I must must must do this to mine. Please please please wrote up the parts required and maybe a simple setup but looks pretty self explanatory. :smiley:

@Kelly_S Still work in progress :slight_smile: … After i finish i publish the parts in thingiverse or in Grabcad with BOM … Stay Tuned.

Will do. Already did all my other mods, smoothie, light objects head and air, aligning lasers this is the next logical upgrade. :slight_smile: have you tried firing yet at the furthest distance? Nevermind just noticed it is a mirror off yet, anyway great work hope it finishes smoothly.

@Kelly_S Next job is to install the mirrors and align them …I hope all works good. I make some rough test with paper tape and seems that the axis is quite straight.

@Kostas_Filosofou that is awesome. So looking forward to seeing how you did it and what was used. Was thinking a while back I wanted to to something like this when I first got it.

Come on guys!!! please don´t do more upgrades!!! now i´ve just finished my last upgrades, and now i´m thinking in the next ones!!! this machines is a project itself hahaha cut or engrave something is the tip of the iceberg…
@Kostas_Filosofou well done!!! i hope you release those plans soon :slight_smile:

Here some photos from the build https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOLVYmI_JDVrrYjdpyUAdJKvkd8ttsF6kxa-cyq5uyskhuG8rtv1_eOtuoBAi4gBg?key=N3pfdXV5QWxENVhQdmQ5cm5qUnJIUXhacGdReHNn

With the files and bom to come, surely a reference build ! :+1:

Curious are you going to raise it at all, so it can to thicker materials, or leave it as is?

Or are my eyes playing tricks and that is the same height it already was? o___O

Pretty Nice! :slight_smile:

I’m considering sg similar with my machine, but with built in Z adjustment - same colour btw.

@Kelly_S With the grid on i can engrave to 6cm without the grid i have a lot of space until the bottom of the casing … and I will also have adjustable head

Great update. Yep I gotta do this to mine lol.

Any updates to this?
