Please visit http://DIY3DTech.com for more information on this and many other projects! As in this episode we will be looking at etching a coin or at least trying to see what we come up with. As a viewer wrote in and asked about etching coins for a project and in general I can guess the […]
Apologies for the video quality on the screencasts. I’ll make sure those come out better the next time I use them in a video. To follow this process you’ll need 2 open sourced scripts; skp_to_dxf.rb and dxf2gcode.py. To install a .rb plugin for SketchUp, these instructions are useful: SketchUp Help. The python script comes with […]

Hello!, In this video we will make a CNC MINI LASER ENGRAVER, using parts of DVD readers, an Arduino Uno, a CNC shield and other components that give life to this project. The laser I use in this project 650nm, 250mW: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A7MKcv Arduino CNC shield: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ANazod Enter this link to download the 3D pieces in […]
Note: If you don’t particularly care about the technical aspects of the project, skip to 13:45 to see the engraver in action! My code is available here: https://github/iandouglas96/engravR. Feel free to modify it as you so desire. engravR is a Raspberry Pi powered laser engraver built primarily using two old DVD RW drives. It was […]
In this video, I show you how I create the gcode for laser cutting and engraving, using LightBurn. I go over all the important features of LightBurn to get you started right away with your own designs. The Laser I’m using is the 10W model from Endurance Lasers, the review of which you can check […]
