My solution to the no Z-Axis issue.

Oh, that is very clever!
@Seon_Rozenblum it’s not the most sturdy thing. But I’ll fix it one day. But for right now it works like a charm.
@TheTopheezzy That’s a cool looking tube for the air-assist. Where did you get it? And what is it plugged into? I have a big air-compressor for my air assist, but it’s sooooooooo loud, neighbours get upset when I am using it.
I bought everything over 2 years ago and I don’t remember any of the names or brands of anything I bought . All I know is I bought it off of eBay
@TheTopheezzy No problems… that looks like a much better airflow pump. I might get something that size. Cheers 
@Seon_Rozenblum it’s so quiet! I mean, you hear it, but it definitely is quiet haha
LOL! While cleaning out my garage I came across an old scissor jack I don’t need but was reluctant to throw out. Not sure if I want to go as far as cutting such a big hole in my K40 case, but it gives me another option!
Doesn’t that big hole in the bottom make the fume extraction inefficient? I will suck fresh air from the bottom insted of the fume from the top.
@cprezzi if I’m lasering at the top in front of the extraction opening, I figured it wouldn’t matter right??
Air takes the path of least resistance, so I guess most will come from the bottom.
@cprezzi which would pass by what I’m etching? Idk I think it’ll work haha
I would expect the fumes to be slightly warmer than the air from the bottom, which should make it rise, correct? If so, the fine extractor is probably working fine.
@Seon_Rozenblum here is the air pump I’ve converted mine to. If you get one watch that you get the right sized one as they have different outputs. I’m happy with 951 gph. I also use this variable switch to control the air output.
Nice idea. Maybe something similar but just four holes for the supports would allow better fume management (jack and wood below, rods running through bottom, expanded metal inside).
