Do you think I could make a pick and place machine using this?

[@doublexstudio]

I would like to know if it can cut papers and how close to perfection

[@doublexstudio]

how can you mount a cutter head on it?

hi, my one got laser , but dont have engrave .. anything can help?

[@meesdees7288]

@@stephen0tan I found the Eleksmaker now with a really good discount on Banggood: www.banggood.com/nl/2500mW-A3-30x40cm-Desktop-DIY-Violet-Laser-Engraver-Picture-CNC-Printer-Assembling-Kits-p-1003863.html?p=7I22079633188201703T

Hola, buenisimo el video, se ve que eres profesional. Cual es la resolucion del aparato? Gracias , Sergio

[@movich]

Hola amigo, Tengo entendido que estas gafas protegen de los reflejos que se puedan producir en la avitación donde está el láser, como paredes, etc. Peró no te protegen si miras directamente el corte. Hay que tener en cuenta que una parte de la luz és infrarroja y no es visible. Yo también estoy haciendo una un poco más grande, de 60w Co2, y la idea es hacerla completamente cerrada con una cámara dentro y un pequeño monitor fuera... Saludos desde Catalunya

[@melloncollie5429]

Did you ever manage to etch a PCB? I’m interested to see your results! Thanks in advance!

[@davidcarter9322]

We use a 15W laser and a little smaller CNC system to rework panels. Unfortunately it is fixed focus and had to be modified to get the laser the required space from the surface. We got the same glasses but don’t trust them that much too. The laser powered on when I plugged the USB cable in and burned a hole in the desk !! This laser is nice a powerful but without laser focus ability it makes it a challenge to use.

[@gerjimmy]

Hello Sir your video is amazing I just bought one of this machine and I need to ask you where I can get the drill tool accesorie??

[@abeedcactus3749]

It is a nice machine I have no major problem with it, very precise

[@matthewkunz3887]

How do you like the machine as of now? Is the dual steppers on the y axis giving you any trouble?

[@leemason2779]

Hello, Just wondering if you've tried to laser any plastics to see if they mark or melt?

[@stephenjames820]

Thanks for the video! I would really like to see what this laser could do with with a good hardwood instead of cheap plywood. I am thinking of buying this engraver and if I do I will reinforce all the plastic pieces with washers at each screw hole to distribute the stress as well as install corner brackets!

[@goodwill7643]

what about PCB label engraving. Can you write text on PCBs to mark where which components needs to be placed?

[@shivambansal8834]

does this machine also work on marking on metals like brass, steel ,etc

[@DerrickAD]

Greetings, I am wondering if you every tried adding the little drill attachment you showed? Are there addon plans to be able to add that? Thanks!

[@algator55]

This guy is a banana salesman I always look for it on his show and it's reliably there

[@alextecmelo]

Congratulations for the video man! What exactly can we do with this laser (2.5w)? Did you already record a video about it?

[@severinfriedl]

You have to put a 10k Pulldown Resistor to the pwm signal pin of the Arduino, so it won't turn on by itself when you connect it to your pc

[@EpicSqu1rrel]

you tested this? sounds like a good idea

[@severinfriedl]

[@diamondhands3426]

Hi Electronoobs, I'm so interested with the roller and the aluminum bar. May I know where did you purchased it?

[@andremuensti4730]

[@TheRedmarlboroman]

Hi, I am thinking to use this machine to engrave serial numbers to a made commercial PCB boards, have you tried it before ? thanks

[@sokauo]

Cool, but i plan to buy the first price co2 laser cnc laser cutter for arround 350 euros instead, because i think cutting is more usefull.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

I wanted that but is 350 for USA. For Spain with shipping and all is almost 1500 :( and I don't have that yet.

[@peterklein1299]

Can I use this machine as a stamp rubber engraving ? If I use the appropriate settings can I make good quality stamps ? Thanks,,

[@samtema2437]

Hello Can the laser be installed instead of the engine in the CNC 3040 4 axis Router. Is the electronic circuit has a place to install a laser cable.

[@donaldjohnson394]

I,m building a laser cutter right now with a Elekmaker laser. Where do you buy the blue metal holder block at 4:53 in the video? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@hudazulfiqar7847]

Hi sir...I am also making this machine as my final year project...is the firmware already exist in benbox or we have to write it ourselves???

[@carterconley636]

Hi, I bought a knockoff EleksLaser. - how do tell if it runs GRBL or Benbox? the PCB looks very similar to elekslaser's

you can make plastic smt stencils with this laser cuter

Hey great video. I'd like to build a similar cnc machine. What sort of aluminium extrusions are being used here. And do you know where I could get the roller wheels. I keep searching but I don't know the proper name for them and so I don't get the correct search results. Many thanks

[@cutflower36]

Can it engrave on metal?

[@pir869]

good build description,good enough kit for a 2 axis laser,safety features are lacking a big carboard box might help more than the glasses(not being funny),or a 6mm plywood box with interlock micro-switches to cut power to the stepper driver board,super simple and the arduino nano can still accept the CAM files,most of these things need a bit of tweaking to make the thing you REALLY want it to be,a 3 axis might be more than it can support(flex/deflection of the axis support beams,though you could rebuild it with larger gauge box section. I want one,though i think my own build will get exactly what i want/need. Great vid,like with a BIG thumbs up dude.

200mw

Not the best product but the design is super simple. I might make myself one of those based on this design but different as some of those parts are hard to find here locally or are too expensive even from china.

I bet is more fun to make your own! Keep up!

By the way it's not 2,5W laser ..they are pretty all over the place. Mine measures only 900mW light output >..< EleksMaker needs to make something with their QC or stop lying about their products.

[@AxelWerner]

Again bangood Advertisement?!? Guess I need to unsubscribe then. I'm not here for Teleshopping

[@laharl2k]

Axel Werner Well the machine is quite simple. Its not like you cannot buy the components separately and build something similar yourself. The angle brakets could easily be 3D printed and the rest bought or replaced. An arduino uno + cnc shield could easily replace the main board.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

That's true. The first machine you see in the video, the red one is homemade.

[@ELECTRONOOBS]

The company that helps my workshop shouldn't bother you. I show you the machine and I really wanted this one for my future projects. If you want to buy it using any other shop is your choice. If you are not here for my videos, I'm very, very sorry to hear that. Have a nice day.
