Tech Autos 4.4m x 2.4m CO2 Laser cutter, part 11. Laser Align fail



Hi There
OK so this video highlighted that the gantry was twisted and that was all my fault for not checking that the CAD drawings I made were symmetrical.

They were not and I didnt know. Till we got here, 300+ hours in.

The clue was that the gantry was getting stuck as it lifted which I thought was just the overly long placeholder bolts I used till I got the right ones.

It took ages to align the first two mirrors and I couldn’t align the 3rd… That’s when the penny dropped…

The next video 12 is post a 60 plus hours weekend of rebuilding.
