Longer Ray 5 Laser Expansion Kit

[@dermotcolgan]

I can't thank you enough for this. I already have the kit, you have given me the confidence to go ahead and assemble it.

Looks good. Having X & Y / gantry axis tape measure is a nice touch!! EDIT : That is a massive printing area!! Looks perfect for bulk orders. Great buy for the shop.

Informative video Roger - thank you. I have the same Longer Ray5 20W. In your next video you mention adding drag chains. Are they included or are you modifying the laser? My only "complaint" is the adjustment knobs for the laser head. Otherwise, it meets my needs.

Drag chains and mounts are of my own design and it became somewhat complex to make the existing (new) cable work without making it longer. The Y axis was actually easier than the X axis and I changed my design a few times there until I settled on where the drag chain would go. Looks odd on the X, but it works without having to make a chain carrier or extending cables.

thanks for the video! for the longest i've been looking for a video on this expansion kit

[@DjBambo420]

Hello, are the limit switches compatible with the extensionm? are the cables long enough?

[@rogersshop]

Yes, and new, longer cables come with the kit.

Thank you for the video Roger. I have ordered a Ray5 and an expansion pack. I will be using your video for assembly. Awesome!

Hello Roger thank you so much for the video. I want to add another Y axis extension to the 850x850 and I wonder if you think that is feasible. Thank you

[@rogersshop]

I don't think I would. At least not with the stock 2020 extrusion. Would be OK if upgrading to a 2040, but that would require a lot of modifications.

Hey Roger I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos don’t ever stop. My question is I’ve ordered the Y extension kit for the longer ray5. What drag chain do I need to order .? Could you post a link..? Thanks

[@rogersshop]

10 x 20 drag chain amzn.to/3zfxWPv One is not quite long enough and required adding a few links extra. I already had plenty, so not a problem. There is a video coming up showing how I did this.

Thank you
