Moving Things Around With Motors! – CO2 Laser Cutter Part 3

Moving Things Around With Motors! – CO2 Laser Cutter Part 3

Posted on by



In this video I’m continuing to work on my Co2 laser cutter. I added motors and timing belts to control the motion of the laser. Then I connected the motor drivers and laser controller to the machine and finished things off by moving the laser head around the work area.

New videos are uploaded as soon as I finish them!

If you’re like me you have creative ideas that are trapped inside your mind. Byte Sized Engineering videos will give you the knowledge, inspiration, and confidence to make your creative ideas a reality. You are more capable than you think, and I want to help you unleash your inner maker!

You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to takeplex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.

If you want my rmendation on what you should watch, I put together this playlist for you. https://youtube/playlist?list=PL8Udln1nmXVBEdorJ2xU5VnXn1nfmMM–

Deciding What Size To Build This Thing – CO2 Laser Cutter Part 2

Posted on by



In part 2 of this DIY CO2 laser cutter video series I tackle building a frame. As I considered what material to use for this project I relied on my engineering experience and chose aluminum extrusion. This material is like an erector set for engineers, it’s very modular and easy to use. I assembled the frame according to my model. I used a special internal 90 degree bracket to make it easier to put the enclosure panels in when ites time to do so. I also designed and printed some V wheel plates for a temporary mock up of the laser head gantry. Finally with the laser tube mounted I test fired the tube again. And I never get tired of seeing this thing ignite wood!
