Hi All
My apologies for the silence over the past two weeks I've been working very long hours to get this laser cutter up and running. I've created a few videos and here they are. I'm no video editor so sorry.
I'm so close to cutting carpet out I can taste it, Im hoping this week to do a full calibration test and then the first set is an MG MGB RD so I can check it against my existing patterns.
Massive 60 plus hour gantry rebuild, including redesigned end plates (as I got it wrong) scraping the Z Axis belts in favour of a second closed loop stepper motor, rebuild the Laser head mount and finally last night the first three mirrors aligned.. Which is the best feeling ever..
Over 400 hours now and counting
Tonight the final mirror align and add the conversion lens to focus it to a tiny point... I can't wait....
Oh and yes we were both wearing protective eyewear and not cheap ones either 50 quid a pair. Protect your eyes people as they kind of help you t get to places...
