Seeing how a photo engraves using newsprint dithering on the k40 laser onto pine Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

More parts to this project engraved and cut on the k40 laser Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

Started to make something with my finally working again k40 laser cutter Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

Seems I accidentally knocked the second mirror on my laser cutter. This has meant it is not cutting towards the top right back of the workpiece Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

Made this laser cut cat! Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

After aligning the mirrors it turns out that I didn’t shim the tube and first mirror high enough Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

So initial cutting tests worked ok. Now time to test engraving Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

First attempt at cutting since upgrades Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

So after modifying the case of the K40 laser cutter, I have to start reinstalling the guts.. Reinstalled the power supply - need to tidy the wiring stil The gantry is now back in the machine The Holgamods

So installed the new Ikea legs to the K40 laser cutter.. Turns out my old short ones fit under the bottom box thingo as well! handy

So I ended up buying the same type of legs I had before so they fit straight on. These are taller Steepshot IPFS IOS Android Web

The base mod is now secured to the laser cutter.. now all i have to do is reassemble the stuff that goes inside!

Cut out of the 260mm x 240mm base tray plate a hole using the table saw and the bandsaw This is going to get a lot of use today... The 2.5mm drill piece in my impact driver Clamped in place the first piece

Here I measure out the area that needs to be cut out Using the Air nibbler tool I start to cut out the base of the K40 laser cutter sheet metal.. It only just gets through this material so it takes some

I went to my favorite store, Paramount Browns to get some Aluminium for the next part of the K40 mods Here we can see the guillotine used to cut the 3mm flat sheet aluminium into the sizes that I needed.

I have a feeling that when I work on the bed side of things, I probably should clean up some of the messy wiring in here :)

Just measuring the size of the K40 so that I can buy a sheet of 3mm aluminium to reinforce the base after I cut a hole in the bottom Side looks like 500mm Front looks like 810mm Now to get the approximate

So I think I have come up with a solution to my issue with my laser cutter mods I have been doing. It will be a fun project to execute I think. My video is at DLive
