I ran two solenoids as shown in the video. The wires to the existing would only be enough for one solenoid. Running new wires also allows me the ability to be able to place the solenoids where I want without having to worry about how much wire I have. Using two solenoids as shown in my video you don't have to adjust pressure for cutting or engraving once it's set up. The reason for two solenoids is to eliminate the need to constantly adjust or tune air on or off.

first off I don't see an issue using the stock air assist as the low pressure option. I will note though that typically those air pumps are loud. so going to a dual solenoid setup will make your machine more quiet when on. I am not exactly sure what you mean by if is not outputting the pressure that it is intaking. can you clarify> How did you plumb your lines? do you have a check valve on the stock line to prevent the pressurized size from backflowing? are you using a needle valve or pressure regulator? i'm guessing you are experiencing an issue potentially due to the way you have everything plumbed

Typically, just running the chiller for a little while will work the air bubbles out. Sometimes, you can pinch or tap the hose to help move the bubbles.

@@oeadesignworks So the circuit is not closed? I mean if there are bubbles they will come back Or let me put it this way. Where is the return pipe going (inside the chiller)? how does the inner deposit look like with the return pipe?

So I can have two different air pressures and so the air only comes on when the laser is actually firing. Otherwise, the air would run constantly unless I manually turn it on and off each time

I'm not sure I understand the question? Could you please clarify?

the tubing should come with your laser if you order an OMtech laser. But if you need to buy tubing I have some linked here www.oeadesignworks.com/recommendedaccessories

Both are good suggestions. Thank you!

If you use the lines that come with the laser, there shouldn't be any issue. I wouldn't recommend making them to long to avoid straining the pump

I am guessing something is wired incorrectly. The LP (low pressure line) air should only turn on when the laser is firing. The HP (high pressure line) should only open when the laser is firing AND air assist is on for the particular layer being engraved. I suggest you double check all of your wiring

lol...I knew what I was planning on doing. The yonl real guess works was because I was to cheap to get different color wire! Thanks for watching!

did you watch/follow the video?

thank you! glad it helped!

thanks for the info.

best way to ask questions is by joining my facebook group facebook.com/groups/482491740230497/

thanks for watching. my laser homes every time it turns on. it goes to the back right corner and homes then it returns to a recent point from before it was shut down. for the smart plugs i did not use one for my laser. just my chiller and inline fan. I just plugged them in and setup alexa so i just say alexa turn inline fan on. etc.

8mm ID tubing should do the trick. amzn.to/3Pfuiv6

@@oeadesignworks I ended up emailing Omtech and they said it's 10mm. We ended up ordering one and sure enough they were 10mm

I don't understand the question?

are you using lightburn? i have a video of wifi setup here www.oeadesignworks.com/software

i don't have a kit per say. but i do have a parts list on my website. Not knowing your machine i cannot make any guarantees but i would assume it should if its similar to the omtech machines www.oeadesignworks.com/airassist

try just OEADESIGNWORKS. If that doesn't work either please let me know

Glad I could help!

My setup is based on two solenoids. So I wouldn't expect it to work correctly with only one solenoid. Did you turn the air assist on in the machine settings? Is it wired correctly? Plumbed correctly?

You’re welcome 😊

Glad I could help!

yes, i always leave me compressor on. I have an 80 gallon compressor located in my garage that i use for other purposes as well. so i keep it on all the time. i'm curious though what kind of psi you get out of your airbrush type compressor. For cutting i generally run around 25 psi.

It is a beefy one I think originally meant for some medical purpose (maybe Dental) it reaches about 10PSI at around 3CFM

Turns out the lightburn setting was enough to get both solenoids working.

glad u got it to work. the setting in RDWorks is used to keep the solenoid from switching on and off repeatedly. so its helps save your solenoid from wearing out sooner. if you dont see the settings it could be you have downloaded an old version of rdworks. if u r still interested try downloading an installing the version linked on my website Www.oeadesignworks.com/software

Check out the wiring diagram on my website Www.oeadesignworks.com/airassist

yes mine is but it doesn't have to be. If you are asking because you plugger your chiller into the laser I would suggest not to use the outlets on the back of the laser.

@@oeadesignworks I just can't get my chiller to stop beeping. It's plugged into a separate extension cord.

@user-fr7wf4rn3f I would try to eliminate the extension cord if possible. But the first question is why is it beeping? Are you seeing an error code? Have you referenced the book? Did you follow the instructions in the video to set it up?

@oeadesignworks yup! I can eliminate the cord. No idea why it's beeping. It's working correctly, water is moving through the laser machine fine. I called them, this morning and they seem to think it's a defective water sensor.

Also, no error code shows on the display--just the temp.

glad it worked out for you. its been a while since i set this uo but i beleiev thry both close. many of the other setups that onky use one solenoid require the user to manually turn the air on and off. this setup does not require that with the 2nd solenoid. air is completely controlled thru lightburn and nothing blows when the machine is off

maybe its a new style chiller? is it the OMtech brand?

I wouldn't do it. The reason we put distilled water in the chillers is to avoid contaminates. I wouldn't intentionally add something else . Suggest using a flashlight to check your water level instead

Thank you. If I remember correctly yes 1/4" fitting and for omtech machines at least I believe it's 24v. I have a full parts list with links to Amazon here Www.oeadesignworks.com/airassist

It's blowing out the bottom of the water separator? Is the bowl on it? Maybe you got a bad one. Possibly try sending back and getting a new one?

@@oeadesignworks Yes, it's blowing out of the bottom glass area. I can reach back out to Boss and see what might be going on.

@Tiffany Mosser this is on a boss laser? Did they provide the regulator/bowl? The bottom of the glass should have a small pin and spring. This allows the water to drain out once it accumulates. Unless you are pressing on it though it shouldn't blow air. It may not be seated properly and ultimately letting air out

@OEADesignWorks Yes, I have a Boss Laser. It did come with the glass bowl and pin. When I press gently pull down on the pin, it stops flowing out, but there's no pressure.

@@tiffanymosser3606 the air pressure should push that pin down from the inside. That's only for draining water. You don't want air coming out that pin all the time. Only if you push up on it and drain all the water

I would use the same settings as described in the video as its inportsnt to keep the tube cool. If the chiller can cool it to the set points in the video i would lower the set temp so that it works a little harder to maintain the required temp, but the best option is to get your machine into a climate controlled environment. You can also look into dehumidifiers or fans on the tube to help reduce condensation. But again, the best option is to have the machine in a climate controlled environment

@@oeadesignworks THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY DO ITS THE SAME STILL I HAVE CONDESATION DO I NEED DEHUMIDIFIER CAN I ALSO USED SILICA GEL AND PUT INSIDE THE THE MACHINE ?

@randy sarmiento you can try. But to be honest condensation issues are not something I have any problems with. Mine is in a climate controlled environment so I don't know I can be much help in this scenario

Not sure exactly. Are you saying your arrow keys don't work? Does you screen say continuous or jog? If it says jog press the button in the center of the arrows one time. It should then say continuous and the arrow keys should work

thank you!

Glad it worked for you. Thanks for the feedback!

You can message me directly thru my website or on Facebook with your email address and I can email it to you. Have you tried a different computer. It's likely an anti-virus or a settings issue blocking the download

you lost me with your comment. where did u get lost? take one step at a time and pause at each step.

did you check to make sure your solenoid is working properly? also i cannot answer this without verifying your wiring is done correctly

@@oeadesignworks well it was actually working but the power and trigger wires were reversed and it wasn't allowing the led to come on even though it was working. Instructions said it didn't matter but I guess it does. Swapped wires and light comes on now. Thank you

Glad u got it working

i do not unfortunately. the diode goes between the two terminals on the solenoid. check the video description for information on how to install the diode

it may be possible but i havent looked into so i am not 100% sure. as an alternative i upgraded my led lights by cutting the wire to the stock led lights and under the gantry and tapped into thay wire instead

the resistor should already come installed on the solenoid. the diode is addition and should be added. check the video description for more details on how to orient for installation

feel free to join my facebook group and private message me ( i am the only admin) and i can try to help you troubleshoot facebook.com/groups/482491740230497

i do use distilled water. i don't know if it helps the system from getting mold, i know some people use an algae growth inhibitor, but by using distilled you are not putting contaminants found in tap water or likewise into the system.

no sorry i don't

you don't want to switch the resistor for the diode. i misspoke when i called the resistor a diode. you should leave the resistor along and add the diode still. see notes in the description for which way to install.

Great video, I have an 80w coming and I’m looking through your mod videos. Can you clarify the function of the diode in the solenoid for me? To prevent power back feeding to the board? Doesn’t the solenoid already have that as part of its own electronics?

@@neilphillips9163 its purpose is to short out the back emf when the power is cut. When that happens the power stored in the coil will reverse and the diode will short it out so that control circuit is not damaged.

thank you

usually called the common.
