Congratulations on hitting 5K before the holidays!

Well I have ordered one just what you said for acrylics. I’m glad I seen your video and will be looking for more, thank you

2:52 I have the same issue with my garage getting cold. I've checked and most of the time it doesn't go below 40f in there but on occasion it might. I considered an electric blanket but you aren't supposed to leave those unattended. I've brought it into the house once but it's very difficult to move it by myself.

Add an air vent in the front of the base of the machine inline with the fan on the back, that will create air assist front to back, you could even add a fan if you wanted to.

Have you tested thicker woods yet? Great on the clear acrylic, im very interested now :)

You know as well as I do about this Alabama weather.... Freezing one day and hot the next 😀 Good video and good idea with the fish tank heater. I'm considering one of these but I'll wait till it becomes available with the Lightburn compatible motherboard already installed.

I recommend RV antifreeze. I use this for my CNC Router Spindle.

The air assist should keep the clear acrylic from melting back to itself.

You can also run Radiator Fluid in it.

OK... another expense, Fish and fish food... We used liquor in the RV lines to keep from freezing, first outing in the spring was a blast !

How do you cool this cutter? Do you use the default pump or have you engineered something else? I am looking to cut 3 mm thick acrylic .

Did you get 1064nm glasses for this machine? They are different filter than the Diodes.

Be careful using honeycomb if you're going to cut a lot of acrylic. Residue builds up on honeycomb and fires can be a result.

Did anyone else catch that daddy long-legs spider crawling thru the laptop? lol

I keep hearing you say MonPort recommends a MAX power no greater than 60%. Am I hearing that right? I’ve always been told a mA max (15mA current for the ~40w CO2s aka K40s in general not just from OMTech) figure to maximize Tube life so I wasn’t sure I was hearing that right?

What type of laser glasses do you use for the K40 (OD, wavelength, source)?

Do you plan on doing a video on installing air assist on the monport?

You'll get better results having your work piece 2 inches from the laser. so you'll need to raise up your work so the beam can be close to it's range. As is the beam is going wide instead of a pinpoint. This will allow you to use less power overall

What was the thickness of the clear acrylic you used?

Can you please show us what grbl settings you have for the k40?

will this cut through 1/4 rubber shore durometer 60? about as hard as a car tire?

Can you cut ink bandit on the Monport and compare time against xtool

I have the same laser and i can not get it to connect to my PC i get an error that says USB not recognize Any ideas what it could be? i even took my PC into Geek Squad and they said the drivers are all fine

your lovely cat catches my attention🤣😂🥰🤩

My monport has caused me problems so far. It does not home correctly. I have been working with Monport Support to try to get it fixed. They told me the motor needs reversing. They are going to send me a video on how to do it. Hopefully it is not a complicated procedure. Hoping to get the problems corrected in the next few days.

I would like to know proprietary fot k40 in LightBurn

Will this machine do tumblers?

Clear Acrylic - will it CUT Clear Acrylic ?

Aquarium heater in coolant tank .

The Louisiana hobby guy might can answer the questions you have

You’ll miss out if you don’t integrate it into your workflow. I have a .clb file specifically for this Maching, Sir. Size matters but it’s the POWER that will impress. Don’t go over 37%, that should be 15mA. At least it is on my OMTech K40.

Takes me about 5-6 passes to cut through 1/8??

How much power does ur computer have?

Recently, I purchased a Monport K40 pro, but despite my efforts to set it up properly, it wasn't functioning correctly. After several attempts, I decided to contact the company to arrange a return. They instructed me to send a photo, assuring me they would then provide a UPS label. I sent the photo as requested, but after that, despite numerous follow-up emails, they suddenly ceased communication. It's been weeks now, which feels like a joke. When investing in mechanical products like this, one always expects the company to provide support, yet Monport failed to do so. I am dissatisfied with the experience. The device remains in my possession. It's important to be cautious, folks.

It won’t fire below 5% due to power needs to Arc the gap between Cathode and Anode…

If you don't have room in your house, you can ship it to me!

if your thermometers goes blank there are little batteries in the back of it

I am a little concerned about you seemingly wearing the same glasses as you do with the diode lasers and not using glasses suited for this laser. Not a good idea to keep the cover open.

These monport machines are garbage and there support is non existent. Save yourself a lot of trouble and frustration and don't do it.
