The path of the beam
🕑 Added 2018-11-29 21:05:36 +0000 UTC I've bought some stronger belts and pulleys for the corexy thingy, but not sure when those arrive from China - so I thought I'd start adding mirrors n stuff!

I use <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2810866" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2810866</a> to align mine. Sticks to the end of the co2 and just a little smoke and it's way easier to align.

I wanted to buy and mod a K40 for so long but still haven't pulled the trigger on it. I guess i'll wait for the new smoothie board to.

Got samples of all the major linear rail companies - for this easy application I used the cheapest Banggood ones! Will show the other ones in the next CNC episode I hope?
Fred H
Cool! May I ask where you source your linear rails from ?

OK, I guess I should get my laser aligned now too...

That is impressive so far. I would say it qualifies for 1 to 2 additional warning labels based on that alone.

Better add a warning sign: <a href="http://draughonpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/lasersign.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://draughonpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/lasersign.jpg</a>

Hmm, I wonder how important an always equal tensions of the two belts is here, as I believe that this can influence the angle between X and Y axis.
Jeff Groves
Just don't look into the laser with your other eye...
Wayne Hogue
that's awesome!
