    Hi, I just built the Lead1010 machine, and it's fantastic. Love it, so solid.

    Now that I have this beauty, I also want to add my older Fabool / SmartDIY's 3.5W laser mini (FABOOL Laser Mini - Desktop laser cutter) to run from the BlackBox. Has anyone done this setup before?

    If you get stuck, always welcome to check back in
    Include pictures of any connectors / labels if you get stuck

    You need a 12v power supply and it needs to share a common ground with the Blackbox like the Blackbox documents show.
    docs:blackbox-4x:connect-3-wire-laser [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Unless of course there is some other board associated with the laser you are not showing us. The laser vendor should also provide information .
