![[DIY] 👍Fantastic Enclosure for Powerful Laser Engraver ORTUR Laser Master 2 Pro S2 / WOODWORKING✅](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rs6FKfxnZfs/mqdefault.jpg)
Chris, thanks a lot for making these plans public. I recently bought a laser cutter and the need to stop inhaling toxic fumes made me search for enclosures. Yours if - by far - the best in youtube.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks Chris. I plan to build a second enclosure for the RA2 accessory. I have spent two months on a jumbo size and expensive cabinet for my D1 Pro 2 in one from X Tool. I ordered the extension kit with the initial purchase so assembly was easier. What I found was that I had half enough parts left over to build another machine. They should sell the extended model ready and eliminate all of the duplicate parts. Its like the Harley motorcycles, you take a two hundred dollar part off and put a three hundred dollar part on!
Ill send you a photo of the finished... well almost finished cabinet.
One thing i consistently see on enclosures is the tendency to put the exhaust intake high in the back of the cabinet. What happens is the smoke and residue are already headed down on cuts and the smoke and residue makes a 180 degree turn to get to the intake. One bad issue here is that it drafts these up right by the cooling fan of the laser module and this material gets pulled into he module.
The airflow should be across and downward coming from the front panel with an adjustable damper and above the level of the machine. By adjusting the intake you can observe what area creates enough velocity tp pull the smoke and residue to the back and out.
Thanks for the plans. good job on the video.
Thank you. You’re right about the exhaust. It was just easier to set up this way.
Chris thank you for making these plans available i originally made a temporary enclosure from a heavy duty cardboard box a desk fan and a hose from a shop vac to vent!
I really like your design with the two shelves. (Brilliant) I am in process of building my enclosure now using a 150cfm bathroom fan, lights and powerstrip mounted to 7mm underlayment panels, with a stick frame!
Here's pictures of the cardboard version...lol
I am building an enclosure for a laser this week and have done quite a bit of research into the "proper" orange acrylic. Without naming the company, I called the "go to" company or the best known for supplying "laser tested" orange acrylic. This company told me they have tested their material but do not guarantee it to be laser safe without proper eye wear due to possible quality control issues from their supplier, seeing how they have only tested a sample and do not test every shipment. The representative told me to never look at the laser through their material without proper eyewear. With that being said, I decided why spend the extra money for the "approved" stuff if glasses are required no matter what. Hopefully that tidbit can help someone watching this video looking to build their own enclosure.
WOW! Perfect timing .. and very well organized and presented ... you have my vote of "Impressed!". Thanks
Thank you
Thank you for your video. I can’t find plans on your site. Where should I search for them?
Hi Chris, I just came across your video. I'm about to make my own cabinet and would really appreciate having a copy of your plans as a starting point. Unfortunately I can't find them on your website, have they been removed? Regards, Eddie
I will try to build this for my Ortur Aufero Laser 2. Thanks for sharing the patterns.
It should fit that great. Thanks
Awesome, going to take measurements and adapt this to the Atomstack s20
After spending all day looking at various makes your design is by far the best. Although I don't have a huge collection of tools I think it will still be doable. I love the fact that the honeycomb bed can be easily slid in and out making room for the rotary attachment. Brilliant thanks for sharing this from a very wet and windy London UK
Great plans and a good looking project. Finished building it about two weeks ago with a few modifications such as gas struts and also made a matching table with a drawer and casters. The bottom shelf of the table was a perfect spot for the air pump and a power strip which connected everything with remote power switches. I've got pics but I don't think I can add them here.
Awesome. If you post them on Instagram you can tag me @full_steam_designs
Nice enclosure, I like the raised bed idea, for storage like you showed or if you have a tall item to engrave. Great project.
Very nice enclosure, functional and smart looking. Might be my project for my Sculpfun S9 Will have to adjust measurements. Thanks again.
Thank you
Great video to build an enclosure. I’m planning a laser engraver in the future and will use your plans.
Many thanks again!
Awesome 👍 Thank you!
I have the thumb screw z axis adjuster and it's one of the best upgrades.
They look nice
Hi Chris,
Thank You for the plans with a few adjustments i can make it work with my SculpFun Laser.
Looks amazing. Like a commercial one of metal.
Awesome build man! It looks like it came out of a factory.
Thanks for sharing this, I just received my ORTUR last week and will be building this. I’ll tag you in it when I post.
Awesome. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this and it's made me decide to put a shelf in mine. ☺
Hi, awesome works. Do you have a link to the respirator/face shield you’re wearing?
To get the same angle you could cut them both at once- could tape them together or if you cleverly screw them together during the cut phase you can reuse the screw holes left over to assemble it. Really nice build!
You should see my current enclose- it's cardboard, duck tape and hot glue. It's very ugly but it works great. This was just temporary until some Money came in, which I just recieved so tomorrow I get to buy materials to make something like this. My setup is about 1000x1000mm so I can't use these plans, though I've built tons of stuff like this before so it should be pretty easy- just gonna wing it and figure it out as I go- after 20+ years of remodeling I'm pretty good at building cabinets without plans and stuff like this, plus the duck tape enclosure showed me the things I need to consider- such as small back doors to get at the back corners or maybe make the whole back end open up- not sure which (with the 900x900mm extension you just plain can't reach the back from the front by reaching)- also planning on making the entire top acrylic so that I can mount a camera on top that I can sync up with lightburn (already got one on a back top corner for just watching remotely- very handy)
He did cut both pieces at the same time!
@2:56 Watch the two pieces drop off of the jig onto the saw top.
I have been looking for a suitable design for my Ortur. This is ideal. Thanks. Really good presentation style too.
Thank you
This is a great build! I love the detail and the simplicity, also the double drawer system for the honeycomb and the tray for the debris, simple genius!!!! Thank you for the plans!!!
Thank you 🙏
excellent video. Looks great.
Thanks
Chris, this is a great design. That just totally changed what I was planning to build to engrave on the bowls and vases that I turn. I will need to make mine a little deeper and add a couple more shelves. Thanks for sharing your great design.
Awesome. Glad it helped!
This is an awesome design! Gonna make a case similar to this!
My only concern is the choice of a random window that has no VLT or OD specs (Chris mentions similarly at 7:21). Though, I always wear eye protection... I'm going with something from a reputable source... yes, expensive but my eyes are priceless.
I’m building one for my Xtool D1. I’m subscribing to your channel. Can’t wait to see what else you come up with
Awesome. Thank you. I have some updated pics on my IG if you want to see the changes I made.
Lovely piece of work and it looks great
Amazing. Beautiful work
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing. Working on an enclosure myself but I'm trying to make one that's ultra light and easily portable. My wife is a travel nurse so we move to a new location every few months. My current plan is to build using high density foam board which should be both strong and light.
That sounds like a good idea
Your enclosure is very nice...clean!. I could not find the plans below?
Thanks. They’re in the video.
inspiring for my own build, thanks
I appreciate all the work you put into this video and figuring the details for this build, but two things would have made it better, in my opinion.
First, I have yet to find measuring devices large enough that read out in decimal as opposed to fractional measures.
Second, I would happily have paid a few dollars to download these plans as instead of having to screenshot them then clean up the images to make them useful.
That being said, thank you for saving me the time to figure it all out on my own. I have already cut the parts (providing my conversion to fractions was correct) and will start trying to assemble it today.
Great build! Thanks for the free plans.
Thank you.
Great video Chris. I was hoping you could upload the plans to your website and possibly link on the video.
Thanks. I think I’m going to work up some better plans.
@@ChrisPowellFSD are these plans available yet? i was hoping to build a copy on the weekend
That was an outstanding job. What a talent
Thank you
@@ChrisPowellFSD. Just going to throw this out there. Ortur know has the extension kit. Would you just make the sides longer or re-design from scratch. Thanks for your time
Respectfully
John Z
@@JZee49 you could probably just make it longer. Everything else should work fine.
although I have a glowforge pro and a mira 9 and have no need for this enclosure, I have to say, THIS IS AMAZING. You make me want to build one just for the hell of it lol. Great job dude!!! Bravo!!!!
Haha thank you!
Looks Amazing ! Do you have the plans for the build online ?
Well this is simply fantastic. Thanks for making this video. I just added the OLM2 Pro to the shop. This cabinet is a must build! Starting on mine tonight. Thanks again for saving me time and the headache of figuring this out.
Thank you. Good luck with it
Great build! Thanks
Thank you!
I brought the z axis adjustment thumb screw thing. The top isn't tall enough for it and hits the Plexiglas. So right now I am going to modify it and make it sit lower. I don't think that will be problem sitting a little lower. Since everything is already further down.
Hey great jod, and thankd for sharing! Are these plans still available
By the way, it's your extra height with room for your screen to cut on, or a board or your roller that makes yours a lot different from the others.
Thanks
awesome build Chris have recorded this vid to help me with my own build (as my memory is not as good as it used to be ) thank you for posting this and clearly explaining step by step .. 👍😎
I really appreciate it. Glad you found it helpful 🙏
Looks great. I know I am asking late, as the video says its from 2 years ago.
Did you end up replacing the view screen? on the video it doesn't appear to be blocking much of the blue light from the laser.
Wonderfully done, 👍thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you
CANT WAIT TO BUILD ONE THANK YOU
This is exactly what I’m looking for thanks Chris but I can’t find the plans did you take it down???
They’re in the video
Hello, nice work of the box. Tell me is your aquarium pump powerful enough to blow at the laser level to avoid burns? I would like to make a box like you and I am also equipped and given the price of laser pumps which are more than double I wondered if your pump is powerful enough to save me an even more expensive purchase if it was not suitable. thank you for your comeback.
This is amazing, I dont have an Ortur (xtools D1pro) or the skill/tools to build this. But love the adaptability where you dont have to add legs to use the turner. If you decide to sell these let me know lol
Thanks. I’d love to be able to if I had more time
Hola...
Felicidades por este diseño y gran trabajo...
El resultado final es genial...

*This is by far the best enclosure build I have seen Chris! Excellent job!* Unfortunately I have to stick to my cardboard box 😎 Just can't invest that much time into the project.
Thank you!
May I ask how safe is the cardboard to build the enclosure? I don't have the tools to do the cabinetry this enclosure requires, and I thought about a couple of options, for example metal sheets and bending plus rivets, I'm afraid to use wood or cardboard because I have notices that when using white paper or white materials while cutting, a lot of reflected light goes everywhere around, will that reflected light make the cardboard catch on fire?? I also thought on painting the enclosure black inside if I make it out of wood just to absorb a bit of light, I don't know, I'm just throwing rocks around!! Thank you for your response in advance! Thank you.
@@nohc4 It should be perfectly safe, since you should always be monitoring the job. Reflections will not cause a fire. Paint the cardboard black if you're really concerned.
@@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy Awesome! Thank you so much for your response! I've been using 3D printers for a decade now, but I'm fairly new to lasers.
BTW I just noticed you have a great channel laser topics, Subscribed! Thank you!
Can you just build me one ?🤣🤷🏽♀️ love love love this!
Haha nope 😆
The only changes I would make, would be an internal air channeling bulkhead off of the exhaust fan. And place the glass on the inside. Essentially reverse your mounting if the glass.
Very nice enclosure
Thank you
This is awesome... Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
good video , what would make it better is making the plans available to d/l
I’m working it
I dig your design I am going to have to make this wider tho lol.
I might need to remake it myself. I have a new Ortur 10 watt coming and it looks a bit wider.
Great job Chris
Thanks
Thanks Chris. Always love your videos and been waiting for this before I started on mine.
Thank you. Can’t wait to see yours.
Thank You i built one from youre plan i have to modify a little bit because i dont have all the tool but finaklly it work great
Subscribed!! great video thank you for the knowledge!!
Awesome! Thank you!!
Thanks for the plans.
Thanks for watching
Good video and nice design. I would just leave that bottom door off completely and use the space as an air intake.
Thanks
Pretty nice system and full of great ideas!
Thank you!
thanks. love your design!
Thanks!
Hi Chris, any chance you reupload the files, can't seem to find them, looks great. thankyou
They’re in the video.
Excellent project, Chris. I'll definitely be adding an enclosure around my JTech Pro Series Laser Machine. Just need to get it built. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
@@ChrisPowellFSD would you build one to sell?
@@codham1991 probably not. Takes too much time.
Hi Chris excellent build - my ortur lm2 pro should arrive this week and this will be the second thing I build right after I build my new table to hold it. I see where you mentioned you went with a different exhaust fine and moved it to the rear top section. I've looked at the fan on Amazon and can't picture how you mounted it? Is it mounted inside with the exhaust port stick out the back? Any chance of getting a pic??? Also - do you have a link for the gas springs you used? Thanks again and I just recently subscribed - really like your work....
Thanks. I’ll have to throw some new pics up on instagram. I didn’t use gas shocks, just the toy box lid support, and I actually ended up removing that.
@@ChrisPowellFSD Thanks! - I'll swing by your instagram page and follow u over there as well and keep an eye out for the pics. THX!
Chris best enclosure i seen so far. What is the estimated cost to build ? Do you have plans that we can down load ? Thanks
Thanks. Probably about $200 depending on the fan and glass you go with and the cost of mdf. I’m working on getting better plans together for everyone.
With this enclosure could you install a camera? What's the height from the top to the bed? Thanks this is awesome!
I don’t think it would be tall enough. Maybe you could do something there the camera mounted to the door and when it was lifted up it could be used.
@@ChrisPowellFSD thanks for the quick reply! I think I'm going to try and increase the height of it to mount the camera on the top.
This is just awesome man.
Thank you
Great video, Can you tell me the brand of the face shield you are using?
Thank you for the build and making the plans avaliable! I do have a quick question, a lot of other builds I have looked at include a side vent (opposite to the exaust port) in order to create negative pressure. Have you found that that is needed?
Thanks grid very nice!
Thank you
J Tech laser has a protective lens 24" x 12" for $33.99. It is approved for most diode lasers (250 nm - 520 nm) Most diodes are 400 nm-450 nm.
Good to know. Thanks for the info!
@@ChrisPowellFSD I bought three of these from J tech, they are awesome and shipped very fast.
Thank you so much! This place has the best price I've seen on rated windows. I'm going to be nearby them over the holiday and will just drive over and get one!
Beautiful build. If you need better fan performance, look for deeper (thicker) fans... They generally handle more static pressure.
The top contact edges of the alignment blocks and the shelf support blocks on the door could have a chamfer on them to make them more self-aligning.
These are very very small things to add to an already fantastic build.
I'm thinking truck bed liner coating might make it nearly indestructible...lol
Yeah. For this laser the technically correct level of laser light reduction to be safe, is reduction to about 1/5600 of the amount of blue light. That number is conservative, and provides safety in the case of a perfect reflection into your eyes. Normal orange acrylic will reduce blue light to somewhere between 1/2 and 1/100 of the original brightness (varies pretty wildly depending on the colorants used), which certainly helps, but is unlikely to be enough. That that that you could still quite clear see the blue color through the window means that a lot of blue light is still getting through. The JTech product claims to provide OD3, which if true would reduce brightness to at most 1/1000 of the original brightness. While not quite enough for complete safety in the case of direct reflection, should be more than enough for safety when cutting on non-shiny surfaces. I’d venture a guess that it is good enough for most metals unless they have a particularly shiny finish, but I’ve certainly not run through the full calculations to prove that.
awesome job
Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
hello great job and video! I can't find the enclosure files in the link?
Thanks. They’re in the video
A great video and good ideas
Will build one
Plans dont seem to be on web site?
Thank you. The plans are in the video. I’m working on making better ones available.
Chris this is a great video gave us a lot of ideas do you have an actual list of cuts/lengths we could use? we couldn't really see the numbers on you pic in the video
Just the ones in the video
I just got mine setup and was looking for enclosure options. This is the best I’ve seen so far for this model. Where do you have the plans available? I couldn’t locate on your site.
Never mind.. I see them at the end of the vid. I guess I was too impatient lol. Thanks again!
Haha, no problem. Thank you!
I got all the boards cut today and the router table adjusted to make the dado joints on some scrap material. Tomorrow I cut the dados and start assembly (that's the big step... we'll see how well everything fits and how much adjustment I have to do). I was wondering what you used for trim around the acrylic?
Just some oak I had laying around. I had some that was 3/4” thick. I just cut it into strips that were about 1/4” thick and then cut the corners to make everything fit together nice.
Excellent video, but I couldn't get SVG files as I could get them
How well does your grid line back up? Great build! I have now seen several of your videos and I am definitely subscribing.
I put a block in the back when I engraved it and just push it up against that. The wooden pieces in the front hold it back, so it goes right back to the same spot every time. Thanks. I really appreciate it!
Great project! Well done!
Thank you
Hi Chris, would you have PDF file available please having problems getting the design of via the video. fantastic design, can't wait to build, many thanks for your time. 😎Happy 2022
It’s something I’m planning on doing but haven’t had the chance to yet
You can take screenshots of the enclosure and measurements and save them as a picture file. I did that on my phone and will send it to myself (or put in draft email) so I can print them out on my computer.
Great design Chris! I had another design in mind until I saw your video and then I threw THAT one out the window and am now in the midst of building yours.Question for you… What are the clasps you use for the front? I’ve googled and Amazon searched just about everything around and I cannot locate those. TIA
EDIT: Words
Thanks. Here’s the link to the clasp: amzn.to/3ARTYck
It is looking so good. But I wondering just, is the wood safe? You know, wood could fire. I would like to do similar things, but I just afraid bit, that can by accident fire.
It’s mdf. The laser won’t be pointing at the enclosure. There would only be a fire if the material you’re cutting caught in fire.
Awesome video and channel too. I just subscribed!!
I really appreciate it! Thanks!
Recently I purchased a XTool D1 Engraving/Cutting machine w a rotary adapter. Upon MANY review I came across its comparison to your machine and how similar they are in function and size. That being said, will your plans fit for my machine?
I’ll have to check the measurements. The x tool seems a little larger.
Looks like it fits. I just need to move the opening for the plugs from the front to the side. I’ll probably do an updated video on it when I get a chance.
Great video. Also, what's the brand name of your slick respirator/face protector?
Thank you. Peke Safety
Great build and ideas in this one. I will be doing something similar soon.
Thanks. Good luck!
Chris
Great build. Is it possible to get a pdf?
Thanks
Jon
Eventually I’ll get around to making better plans available
Great design!
Thank you
Great video. Who makes the respirator mask that you had on?
Thanks. It’s a Peke Powercap
A very nice project! 👍
Thank you
Hi Chris, very good… i love it .
Have you the Plan File for free ? (I can‘t find)
Thank you, best regards from Germany ✌️
Thanks it’s at the end of the video. I’m trying to get better plans together but haven’t had a chance to get them set up yet.
I really enjoyed the video. I've watched it at least a dozen times while I work out plans for my own LM2P, which is set to be delivered Tuesday. I'm definitely enjoying all your content and subscribed. Unfortunately my table saw "walked off" so I'm going to have to improvise until I have a replacement.
