--- 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.

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.)

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

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 ?

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

j45on:
I finally got around to making a start today  :poke:

This what I have so far



I have a long weekend (4 days) off so I hope to get some more done :hammer:
