Thanks for an informative video. One tip, if you hold the Shift key when hit "Frame" it will turn the laser on at 1% to show you the "Frame" lit up.

My wife wants one for etching glass. Apparently, you can do it with 10 watts. Showed her my research and she's checking her bank account... I left out the part about how excellent it would be for cutting motor mounts and other goodies for planes. Sometimes, it's what you don't say that's important!

I used a piece of mdf that the lasercutter is clipped into and then engraved a 100x100m grid over the sheet. I just line up the wood to be cut onto the grid, home the laser and start cutting. I had sockets with screw hole 3d printed that the feet are placed into and it's perfectly aligned each time the laser has been moved around

The part that connects the Y axis motor to the Y axis has some screws that are too large and are not hidden, which causes them to collide with the X axis motor. This part comes assembled from the factory and it is completely impossible for it to have passed the control of operation. as it is intended to show the label that comes a few centimeters from the part with problems

Would love to see a wing rib or similar on a printed plan end up cut out of say 3mm balsa

@stephenkolenic303 Жыл бұрын

I've cut a few balsa models using my atomstack a5 with lightburn, with thicker balsa I just do 2 or more passes. I stick the balsa with double sided tape to the mdf board, bit of a hassle cleaning, but prevents the bad quality balsa from curling up and getting stuck on the lasers shielding plates

Yep laser makes parts easy, and for foam board construction saves finger tip from sharp razors problem is size . Most table top lasers are too short . Extended mine with some new side rails, 20x30 inch foam board fits with room to spare . However the ability for second pass is lost which limits wood cutting to about 2 mm . Lo k for small spars . Take care.

@MCsCreations Жыл бұрын

That's actually a pretty good idea. Noted!

@Painless360 Жыл бұрын

Looking at cutting in the next video. I've found a pre 'cut test' on the material avoids the issues with offset second seperate pass as you can add the extra passes into the job from the start... happy flying!

@davekimbler2308 Жыл бұрын

On a bigger job 5 is going to take forever ( per the recommendation ), can I increase the speed to 600 and 50% power but make 2 passes and get the same results ? Or is my 10w to powerful ? I have a 5.5 w now and am in the process of the upgrade . I know I need to play around with the settings , and I will , but what are your thoughts on it ? I use Basswood and Bamboo and Pine mostly but am trying red cedar , oak and others soon , I just started after Christmas .

@Painless360 Жыл бұрын

When I have thoughts like this I tend to run a cutting test on the edge of the material. Have a number of 10mm lines and vary the speed, power and number of passes to see which one works best then use that for the job itself. Does how to do this need a video?
