Got the gantry mounted and running. Sooooo much easier to align everything! Will need a smaller bracket to restrict twisting on the tube but...
Better torque on the steppers. I'd run without it for awhile and see if it's necessary. I just did it because I had one laying around
At that size you would be totally fine with the current plates. Check that the k40 laser head fits in the laser head mount. Might need to make...
Air assist cut my flames down to almost nothing. Make sure you get a good air pump!
Pedro, I'd hold of just a week or so. I plan on releasing v3 of the conversion plates that has the tube gantry mounted. Makes aligning the...
Looks like the exact same model I have. I would recommend running it for a bit to make sure it all works (even if its making the plates for this...
I run my xpro off a 24Vdc power supply and I run my exhaust ventilation off a 12Vdc power supply. All of the control stuff with the mosfet is run...
That is correct. Technically, this is actually flipping the PWM signal, not outputting a specific voltage. It will turn the power supply on and...
There is full PWM power control. I set the K40 power controller (most are a pot knob, but mine is an actual board) and set the power to ~75% power...
The Xpro outputs 5v high as the max output for the power settings. The K40 requires 0v to be high and 5v to be low. this mosfet flips it so that...
Peter, I had never thought about how bad skipping a step could be on the y-axis, thank you for bringing this up. I will definitely look into...
I am going to consider this project complete. The enclosure and other future build plate designs will be on a new version which I'll make a new...
I have not completely dialed in the mirror alignment but I just cut a 20"x20" 1/4" oak board that turned out great. Once I get it properly aligned...
Won't let me update the build log tonight for some reason. [ATTACH] Started working on laser stuff tonight! Got the laser mounted( using the...
Justin, I plan on posting all the files. I want to make sure they all work before pointing people in the wrong direction. To try to make them...
joetemus published a new build: A K40 to ACRO Co2 laser cutter build. Designed and built to expand the work area of the K40 Read more about this...
