- This video was made to fully illuminate what the entire mechanical systems of the K40 class laser engraver/cutter look like. With this knowledge trouble shooting becomes easier.
I apologize for quality of the video. My tripod broke and trying to hold a phone, talk and act at the same time is a lot harder than it sounds.
If you got any good info from this video Please hit the like button. It is just a way of saying Thanks.
this was a great video. no verbal fluff. simple, straight and to the point - if only everyone did this.
Thank you.
Great video nice and easy to understand and covers the points I needed to do thank you
Great video. Very helpful. Noticed this exact same problem when thinking about the optical alignment. No point in aligning anything until the mechanics are square. Thank you!
Great video and explanation, thanks.
Best I have seen. Thank you.
Amazing video; just the detail I needed!
In the last part of your video, If the Y axis in not tracking parallel (But reasonably close) It can be compensated for with the #1 mirror, Nicki Jensen is correct too much waisted time with chitchat getting the point across.
Good job, thanks for sharing
very well explain and very comprehensive as English isn't my first language. Thanks ! and no matter the tripod if the explanation is awesome!
Thank you!
Perfect. Thank you very much for posting this video.
Thank you very informative video, I just got mine a couple of days ago and the rail looks to be at least 1 inch out of square. maybe even more I will be using your info, I just hope they are enough adjustment to get it right. If not it will be going back. thanks again.
I don't understand the emphasis at the end of the video on aligning the Y rail with the 1st mirror beam reflection, as the 1st mirror can be aligned so the laser beam can get parallel to the Y rail whatever is its orientation.
I know this is a year old, but why did you not just loosen the x stepper coupling to isolate the two ends of the x beam. Then you can set the beam parallel Nd then tighten the shift coupler. Much easier to do.
great tutorial on how this system works. also thankyou for explaining what issues to look for and how to address the issues. you have done a far superior job explaining all this than any other youtuber i have come across. also which 3d printed laser head mount would you use if you were installing a Cloudray laser head and mirrors?
I really do not have any idea. Why do you need a new head mount. ( I am thinking that you are referring to the top plate of the carriage. ) If the hole is not large enough for the new head, open it up. A 'step bit drill' will assist with that.
Very helpful video, thank you
Thank you.
^great Video. I have the problem if I move the head in x-axis, there is som noise. Any idea how I can solve the problem?
Jakob, what does the X rail noise sound like? The X belt tension should be snug but NOT tight. Also the carriage should be snug on the rail but again not tight. Just no wiggle.
Also check UNDER the rail. I used compressed air and blew mine out and got a bunch of crap out. Was amazed.
Great
I want to extend the bed 12x24 so I’m going to have to cut the welds to move lengthen it I already have bought an x rail long enough just have to extend it. Probably have to also extend the pulley belt and the y motor shaft. Do you have any suggestions?
Where did you get the X rail?
If you type in rail 77.7cm it should come up
WOW.. Almost 30 min of no good talk.. Try to get to the point a bit faster.. Soo much "not need" chit chat!
