Laser V

Laser V

Build in 'Laser Cutter Builds' published by Robert Hummel, Feb 15, 2014.

With such great success/attention my laser got, I ended up with a good friend that would like to dabble in stencil art and so I have decided to share my build with him and you here :) I will be using all the same electronics as in my previous build except the driver boards I will be using are the famous reprap 4988's they are more easy to come by and cost less. I will also be using open builds mini v wheels/v groove extrusion just so I can get a feel for their versatile products

      Very well explained. I have seen many laser project, and I dream of adding one on my RepRap. But I'm very afraid of laser ...

        Ty :) Yes lasers are no joke! Safety glasses are a must and still not 100% with direct beam contact I wanted to do a plotter but then said no I need to get all Star Wars like lol :) I really want to try your printer design just don't have the funds right now.

      Thank you for being so thorough. I prefer words and pictures to videos. Everything is a video nowadays. But you took the time to write, take photos, log, make diagrams, write, and record video. Thank you so much.
