Steve's 2x4 Laser Build
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 1:09 am
I am considering building a laser cutter\engraver to go along with my other equipment. Already built a couple of 3d printers and a CNC router which is working great.
Was looking at the laser for thinner materials more intricate details and engraving. I have a mechanical design close to being complete.
Many of the design aspects were borrowed from several designs by some great builders before me.
Specs:
24" x 48" working area
80 Watt Laser
LO Optics
DSP Controller
Motorized Z
Pass Through Capability
Here is what the full assembly may look like.
Skins removed
Cut Box and Other Panels removed
