After building some Laser engravers with small diode lasers i finally decided to buy one of these cheapo china 40W CO2 hellfire machines - knowing that they were dangerous in terms of bad electric, high voltages and powerful invisible laser rays.
As said, i knew of the existing problems but with my experience and some research i was confident to be able to deal with that.
K40 40W CO2 Laser Cutter from eBay i choose the orange one with the analog current meter, as i like the color and it was the cheapest ;_)
Once the machine was electrically secured, well grounded and unable to fire the laser with the lid opened i did some test cuts and started taking apart the whole thing to do the modifications i had in mind.
First Testcuts
First Engravings
Ich garantiere bei meinen Bauberichten und Teilelisten keine Vollständigkeit etc...es wird aus den Teilen gebastelt die gerade herumliegen.
Bitte keine Anfragen zum Bau/Fräsen von Frames, Teilen oder sonstigen Aufträgen. Ich betreibe die Seite rein als Hobby und nutze die zur Verfügung stehende Zeit gerne für meine eigenen Projekte.
Bei einigen Projekten werde ich zu gegebener Zeit die Pläne veröffentlichen - aber auch hier lasse ich mich ungern hetzten ;-)
No waranties for completeness of any contructions, part lists etc.. I build from party i have just lying around in my workshop.
Please, No requests to buy frames, builds, etc.. I run this page in my spare-time and as hobby only. Want to keep my free time to work on my own projects - sorry
I will release the plans for some build at some point in time, but again, please don't ask for unreleased plans, i don't want to get rushed ;-)
