--- Quote from: Da_Kengineer_Meister on May 06, 2011, 05:16:21 PM ---I have considered a rebuild on this machine to pull out the built in controller a convert it over to a more generic controller so that it is closer to the CNC controlls that I am used to. That or I may throw a digital logic analyzer on the USB stream, reverse engineer the messaging protocol and write a driver for this machine to interface it to some other existing software. --- End quote --- OK, there's tonight's project but what would you do to keep yourself busy tomorrow night? We wouldn't want you to get bored, eh? :lol: (Sorry for the hijack j45.) |

Ken Is that $475 for the whole machine or just the laser. Who is the supplier looks different than the 2x. Dave |

Kenneth If you are planning on rebuilding your laser :hammer: Bart the guy who designed the 2.X laser has a kickstarter project going for a linear bearing system that may be of interest you ? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/93832939/makerslide-open-source-linear-bearing-system |
| j45on:
I have a big box of Misumi frame extrusion :ddb: Each piece is cut to length and wrapped better than xmas presents Also in the box is loads of corner brackets and t-nuts This will be used to assemble the main chassis,lid and moving gantry of the laser cutter |
