I like that. With the smaller machine that I use there is no air assist I usually have to babysit it and blasted with compressor air. That's another reason I'm looking into the fox alien, I probably will be making my purchase soon.

You were very helpful in answering my previous question. Please help me out with this one> In installing the air assist pump nozzle on the 20 watt Reizer by FoxAlien, does the nozzle fit over the brass round covering the lens of the laser or do you have take the existing brass round to be able to install the air nozzle???? In your video you do show the electrical hook up, then the placement of the hose and how the hose fits in the nozzle but can you please show the steps to install the air nozzle??? Thank you so much Frank
@PawPawsWorkShop2 жыл бұрын
Yes, it fits over the brass cove on the laser. The electrical hookup is simply plugging it into the control board. There is one slot left. It just snaps in. I ran the hose through the drag chain. Currently, I have the hose attached on the side but I lose x axis travel. I’m planning on moving it to the rear. I believe this will work better. The air nozzle just slips over the round brass cover on the laser and tighten the set screw.

I'm not sure I understand the 'switch' in Lightburn for Air Assist. What does that do if you have to use the physical switch on the pump.
@PawPawsWorkShop2 жыл бұрын
It just gives you the option to turn it off or on during the engraving. It adds a line in the gcode to turn it off and on if you have that capability in your machine.
@BJ-GoldenTuna2 жыл бұрын
@@PawPawsWorkShop Thank you for replying. On more research I realize that on the FoxAlien Reizer it doesn't do anything because the power plug on the control board is 'always on'. We would need a control board that triggered the power on from lightburn.

The Sculpfun S9 has an extension kit available with all the belts and necessary cables. I check to see how long it becomes. Also the FOXAlien air assist plugs into the controller. I do not see an available plug on my control board. I would use a different air assist

Great explainer. How do you activate the 12v plug on the laser board? I got a Genmitsu compressor with that little plug and it fits the 12v socket on my Atomstack P7 controller, but it doesn't turn on the compressor (I'm using LightBurn and even tried turning on the air toggle in the software, but nada). So I'm using it with a power block/wall wart manually... air definitely makes a huge difference! Would love if someone can shed light on using the small 12v output on my P7. Thanks.

I have not looked at that certainly you would need to remove the connector. You could also use the aquarium pump with its own power supply. That is what I used before I had this one.

in using the air assist pump nozzle, you still focus the laser at 30mm or the focus height changes???? Also, are you aware if the Genmitsu air assist pump would fit the foxalien Reizer. Hope to hear from you
