After a bit of a hiatus I’m back working on the DIY CO2 laser cutter/engraver.
It’s just a quick one this week as I blow the dust off and get things back on track.

In this episode of the DIY CO2 Laser Cutter / Engraver Build Series, I build the Z-axis lifting mechanism for the bed frame. Then drink too much coffee and decide to keep going with getting motor mounts and the timing belts on.

One day I’ll figure out a more high-tech way to do updates, but this’ll have to do for now.

In this video I share my process of designing and building a co2 laser cutter using abination of ‘V’ & ‘T’ slotted aluminium profile 3d printed parts. I wanted a larger cutting area than my old K40 chinese laser cutter had, and I’m a sucker for a challenge.
FAQ:
Cost:
Total cost of the build was around NZD$3000 (US$2k)
Electronics:
AWC608 DSP controller – I purchased mine from lightobject though in hindsight i’d buy something directly out of China in the future.
Laser Tube:
Bought from Aliexpress, though you may have better options depending on your location.

In this episode of the DIY CO2 Laser Cutter / Engraver Build Series, I focus (get it?) on aligning the laser beam.
I made this a standalone episode so it’s easy to reference and if you already know how, just feel free to skip it and you won’t miss any of the actual build.

Other Rotary Setup Methods:
– Use an additional stepper driver and enable the U-axis on the Ruida 6445g using a firmware update that was released at the end of last year. However at the time of this video I was unable to get the update to function correctly. This may be because I’m a big dummy or because the firmware is still buggy. This would be the most practical method if you are able to get it working. Link to my initial info:
– The other method is to add in another stepper driver and use a switch to select which axis to drive. Link to my initial info:
