In this video, I'll show how to change the water in the coolant system in the various FLUX lasers. The process is similar in all three lasers, the only difference is the way you access the back of the machine.

That was great Dav, very clear and easy to follow. I’m hoping you’ll do a video on adjusting the optical path for the Beamo at some point, as I’m sure you would be a lot easier to follow than the manual!!

So glad I found your videos about the Flux laser, because you not only take about the maintenance, but you show how to do it, seeing how good is the build of the machine. I'm deciding between the Beamo or Beambox Pro ...I'm seeing too, on your work table (laser) a hashtag #RyobiNation and see that your logo color scheme is like Ryobi ...so I assuming you like the tools ...so part of my research for laser is a nice tool combo of tools, debating between Makita, Ryobi, Dewalt ...just to give a little info, my laser would be in my smallest room of my condo (yes, I have done all the research about venting and I'll need and extra inline fan like the Infinity 6" to have even a more stronger exhausting ratio) ...so any recommendation would be. greatly appreciate. Thanks.

So helpful, thank you. I get really anxious doing things like this to my Beamo so seeing someone do it is a big help. Quick questions, in the manual it says to take the laser head and plug the air outlet into the water pipe to blow out the water the other side. Seeing as I am really nervous to do something wrong do you think I should follow that step or is manually blowing the water out so easy that any fool (me) can do it?

I just did it the old fashioned way. As long as there aren’t any chemicals in the water it should be fine.

Hi!… what if I did all this on my flux beam box and it still says there is no water ? Does that mean I might need a new co2 cartridge?

Great video, Dav! Thanks. I'm looking at buying one of these. Question: Do you know if these machines can do a precise, scale-accurate cut from a DXF file? I work in AutoCAD and all of my stuff needs to be accurate to 1/64". I bought a Glowforge, which was a total mistake for my needs. I'm hoping this one might work better. Thanks again for the great video.

Honestly can’t answer that question. I’d recommend sending FLUX a message on Facebook and asking their techs.

Each one recommends a different time. I usually do mine once a month when I do a cleaning of the machine. But my machines are used quite often.

I live in Southern Illinois and my lasers are always in my garage. It’s insulated but not heated. Normal temperature in the garage is always above 40°F. I try to make sure it’s above freezing in the shop.

Hello! In this Beambox laser machine that has, as a production model, the 40 watts laser tube, can I change it to a 50 watts laser tube?
@DavGlass
@DavGlass 3 жыл бұрын
No you can not. The tube also needs the proper power supply to power it. So the 40w beambox needs a 40w tube.

@DavGlass
@DavGlass 3 жыл бұрын
Just like any other machinery with a coolant, it gets dirty with age. Changing the water regularly will extend the life of the tube & machine.

Thanks, I think I messed up the volume on this one. Usually it’s much more in the background and not too loud. I’ll make sure it’s better next time. I usually only use it in spots I don’t talk in. I’ll try better next time.
