It's been quiet around the LAYZOR (€600 K40 laser cutter rebuild) but I've been working hard on making the custom part kits available. The first limited batch has already been sold out, now the second batch is publicly available for pre-order. Shipping is expected by mid-december. So for those who were hesitant about getting access to the custom parts: this is it!
Please visit the LAYZOR website for more details:

LAYZOR plans now available!
The LAYZOR project has been dominating all my free time since the beginning of the year. This post marks another milestone in this crazy journey.
So what happenend? Well I finally finished the complete plans for converting any K40 to the LAYZOR. I'm very satisfied with the result and I actually finished it a few weeks earlier than anticipated, so I'm giving myself a golden medal for that.
The plans are for sale over here:

Hi all,
just wanted to let you know that this project is officially finished, and I just launched a dedicated LAYZOR website.
For those that don't know, the LAYZOR is a complete rebuild of a K40, but I recommend you read the full story on my blogpost:

Hi all,
I am currently working on a conversion from the K40 to an actual useful machine. Key here is minimal investment.
I've worked on the design for a month or so, and now that the parts are coming in, I am planning to log the build here.
People have told me it looks a lot like the 2.0x (or whatever it is called

). Actually that is how I found this site. In the mean time I've looked at the cad file and I don't really think there's that much in common other than the overall look. Which is not surprising since it looks pretty generic. Anyway I just wanted to say it is a 100% new design, not really based off anything, except some google images for inspiration.
I also have a blog in which I write full articles, but I guess I'll post some more ongoing pictures here as I am building it.
There are already 3 blog posts about it, which you can find here:

Currently I am building the frame.
