The SSW 2.x Laser Project

Postby SSW » Wed Feb 20, 2013 1:06 am

We're off and running.

Because this is my first laser build, the plan is to stick very close to the 2.x as designed and documented by Bart. Controlled by DSP.

As of today:
- I ordered and received my custom metal parts kit from Bart.
- Have my shopping lists together for McMaster and Misumi.
- Began printing the custom plastic parts on the 3D printer, in ABS.
- Have a machinist friend turning an air nozzle, from Bart's drawing.

In the recent past I have designed and built; a 14" x 14" desktop CNC router, built Bart's camera slide kit, and assembled/modified a Makerbot Thing-o-matic. These machines have served me well with regard to learning about CNC robots and seeing what can be made with them. They have broken down, been repaired, modified, hacked and are still going strong. If you build it you can fix it!

I figured it's time build a laser cutter. I look forward to sharing with this vast community here on Buildlog.net.
