I really want to keep the laser power supply and chiller together to keep the chance of tube failure caused by no water at a minimum. So after...
Wow Peter, Didn't know that. Thanks for saving me on this. I will use the extra switch for the chiller then.
Took my Starret level and leveled both Y axis rails and the X axis rail both for and aft. With everything all level, I leveled the tube and then...
All the 110 volt wiring is done except for a SSR that will turn the CW 5000 chiller on when the laser tube power supply is on. All steppers are...
This is great news. Now we going to see some progress of the build.
Wasting some time figuring when it comes time to start entering stuff into the controller X axis is driven by a 20 tooth, 3mm pitch pulley. So...
Y brackets are done and belts is tight. [IMG] [IMG] Y motor and drive [IMG] [IMG]
I turned 3 smooth idler pulleys, one for the X axis and the other two for the Y. The X axis has great alignment now. I'm in the process of making...
Thanks Peter That will get me started.
I'm working on the wiring and need help setting the DM542T drivers. Do I set the amp side of the drivers to the "amp per phase" of the motors???...

Got the 100 watt laser power supply a couple days ago [IMG]
So in CAD, I just basically turned the plate 90 degrees and made another set and lightened them as much as I could. [IMG] [IMG]...
Been working on the X axis rack drive. This is what I came up with. I made a extra just in case I ever build another laser. Plates [IMG]...
I was digging through my stepper motor stash and found a small NEMA 23 (I think it's 175oz) that will replace the 17 that I was going to use on...
After watching more of Russ's videos, (Sarbarmultimedia on youtube) I really like his idea of making a adjustable head mount. So I spent some time...
I have gotten some more done. The Z axis is working smoothly. I need to build the stand for the laser before I finish leveling the bed to the both...
They can be either NO or NC. I need to get the shielded wire yet and will use 3 conductor 22 or 24 ga.
Nope, not using them, but they do look nice. If I didn't have 50 or so laying around here, I would buy some though.
