looking forward to your moded files what would estimate the cost of this unit be , would it be upgradable to 20W or more? also have you seen any project with CNC laser and perhaps 3d printer all in one.. since they all use the same frame and motor and just need different heads for CNC, laser or 3d extruder

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Thank you for your interest! I'm currently working on providing modified files. As for the cost estimation, I'll include that in my upcoming video. I've successfully tested 20W and 40W laser heads on this unit. However, to control a laser head with power exceeding 20W, a daughter board and an external power supply are required. Your suggestion about attaching a CNC head (spindle) is excellent, but it would involve some modifications. The current version lacks the ability to move the head up and down, a crucial feature for CNC. Additionally, the firmware would need adjustment to accommodate the different functionalities.

[@lovemytechy]

@@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting the ultimate machine would have the 3D printer, CNC and 40w laser all in one.. the 40W laser is exciting looking forward to your next video

[@cyberlizardcouk]

great video - straight to the point. simple and easy to follow. there is one thing I could not find in the files. the small red spacers. do you know how big they need to be?

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Regarding the small red spacers, they should be the '05 V-Wheel Bushing v1,' and you can locate the file in the MokeyLaser_v1.1 directory

[@cyberlizardcouk]

I found it in the end. My brain was working properly. @@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting

Where can you get the stl that holds the timing belt? Thank you for sharing this great project.

if you are asking about "Belt Tensioner" the link it is in the description ;)

[@Kerchack]

@@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting yeah, that's it! Thank you!

Hello. What power supply did you use for 3 step motors and a 3 amp laser?? How many amperes was the power supply?

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

For initial tests, I used a 12V 3A power supply. However, for extended use, I upgraded to a 12V 30A power supply. It might be an overkill, as a 10A supply is sufficient for the 20W consumption of the laser head.

[@Mrmath76]

Hello friend🎉 Can this machine cut mdf and acrylic or it just for engraving?

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Hello! The machine's capability to cut through MDF and acrylic depends on the laser head used. Higher power laser heads can cut through thicker materials. For instance, a 10W laser head can cut an 8mm MDF with 2-3 passes, while a 40W laser head can typically cut it in a single pass.

[@Mrmath76]

@@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting thanks bro I like your channel you're the best❤

Здравствуйте, поделитесь пожалуйста файлами для печати, тоже хочу собрать такой гравёр

Is it can cut the sheet too??

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Cutting through material depends on the laser head we are using and its power

[@Kerchack]

Hi again and thank you for this great project instructions. I'm actually working on step motor configuration. Could you please copy & paste your configuration under dlc_cfg.txt file from MKS DLC 32 firmware? I have 2 issues with step motors: - Step motors only turn in one direction - Step motors jump steps; maybe caused by high speed configuration. Thank you again for all

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Hi again! I've copied the configuration values from my dlc_cfg.txt file for the MKS DLC 32 firmware below. Hopefully, these settings can $0=6 $1=25 $2=0 $3=5 $4=0 $5=1 $6=0 $10=1 $11=0.010 $12=0.002 $13=0 $20=0 $21=1 $22=1 $23=5 $24=300.000 $25=1000.000 $26=250.000 $27=1.000 $28=1000.000 $30=1000.000 $31=0.000 $32=1 $50=0 $38=0 $40=1 $100=80.000 $101=80.000 $102=80.000 $103=100.000 $104=100.000 $105=100.000 $110=6000.000 $111=6000.000 $112=6000.000 $113=1000.000 $114=1000.000 $115=1000.000 $120=500.000 $121=500.000 $122=500.000 $123=200.000 $124=200.000 $125=200.000 $130=450.000 $131=450.000 $132=50.000 $133=300.000 $134=300.000 $135=300.000 Regarding your issues with the step motors: Step motors only turn in one direction: This might be due to the direction invert mask setting ($3). In my configuration, it is set to 5. Make sure that matches your hardware setup. Step motors jump steps: This could be related to high speed settings. You might want to try lowering the maximum rate ($110, $111, $112) and acceleration ($120, $121, $122) settings to see if that stabilizes the movement. Feel free to adjust these settings and see if they help with your issues. Let me know if you need any more assistance! Best of luck with your project!

Could you also please note what power supply are you using for board and Nesa 17 motors? Watts and amperes 😊

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

@@Kerchack Choosing the right power supply depends on the specific components of your setup, particularly the laser diode. The MKS DLC 32 can support up to a 20W laser diode, which at 12V would require around 1.67A (20W / 12V ≈ 1.67A). For the Nema 17 stepper motors, the power usage can vary, but assuming each motor uses around 4.8W, and you have 5 of them, you would need approximately 2A (5 motors * 4.8W / 12V ≈ 2A). In total, for the laser diode and the stepper motors, you would need a power supply that can provide at least 3.67A (1.67A for the laser diode + 2A for the stepper motors). However, to be on the safe side, I would recommend using a power supply with a minimum of 5A to ensure stable operation and to account for any additional power needs. Personally, I am using an overkill 12V 30A power supply. This power supply not only powers my laser engraver but also two 20W LED lamps under my desk. If my calculations are correct, this setup should be more than sufficient for your needs. Please feel free to correct me if I've missed anything or if you have any further questions!

[@Kerchack]

@@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting Thank you so much! I've got another question for you. I'm still having issues with step motors but I think it is related to board micro-step settings. For a TMC2209 driver what is the switch configuration for M0 - M1... Thank you in advance.

[@hammoudaadel2680]

Is this bord suitable for 90 watt laser module??

[@UnlimitedIdeas3dprinting]

Most likely, you can use the MKS-DLC32 board for a 90-watt laser module, but it requires an external power supply and a daughter board in between. It's important to note that this board supports up to 20W, so for the 90W laser, you'll need an additional power board. Please be aware that the wattage mentioned refers to the input power, not the actual power output from the laser head.
