Monport K40 40W CO2 laser with Lightburn unboxing and setup

[@monportlaser]

A great addition! will stay tuned for the modifications!

Nice video. As far as 2 fans, it has been noted by other folks that the internal fan will actually block air flow when used with an external fan. It would be interesting for you to test it out. Looking forward to your laser series.

[@CreatedWorkshop]

I'll have to give that a try, thanks for the comment!

[@Chaos3dPrintWorx]

Thanks great video!

[@doroscnc]

Nice work

[@CreatedWorkshop]

Thanks so much!

[@Chaos3dPrintWorx]

So I have the 3000 chiller and use distilled water what treatment can I put in water to where I can not have to change water every 1.5 weeks? Right now I am not using it daily either. What do you recommend?

[@CreatedWorkshop]

I simply run distilled water without treatment in mine and it works great!

[@Chaos3dPrintWorx]

How often do you change it out?

[@CreatedWorkshop]

@@Chaos3dPrintWorx I haven’t changed it yet, and not sure exactly when I will. Just not something that’s crossed my mind and the laser works perfectly still haha

What is the grid size for me to type in on lightburn? I have this same laser

[@CreatedWorkshop]

It's 300x200 :)

[@ramonhidalgo8377]

Awesome video, can u tell me what updates u recommend and where to buy them. Motorized bed, air nozzle, extractor fan and anything else I might need please

[@ramonhidalgo8377]

I found your info on what to get and where. Hope to see your videos on the update process. Thanks again for the video!

[@CreatedWorkshop]

Thanks for the kind words! I have a video coming out soon on mirror alignment and then once that's out I'll start getting into using the laser, the upgrades I did, how I did them, etc.

[@wallaceworkshop]

Great video. Is that on a 120v circuit?

[@CreatedWorkshop]

Yep it’s on a 120v circuit!

[@lxxB1GB3Nxxl]

This didn’t help with me setting it up at all, LOL. I can’t get mine to put out power and now my grid on light burn is all messed up

[@CreatedWorkshop]

What have you done to try and get the laser to fire so far? That'll help me figure out how to help :)

[@Bren39]

Monport: Let's give our printer to all you tubers - let them talk it up and then raise the price from $500 to $700. Plan.

[@patrickhealy91]

My thoughts exactly.

[@CreatedWorkshop]

Actually I’ve had the K40 for nearly a year, and if you watch all of the videos dating back to January I mention the $540 price. Now the price has gone up some, but so has every other thing in the world. Price increases are inevitable, and sadly unavoidable. But, it’s not possible to retroactively update a video with new prices as they come out. If you go back and watch even older K40 videos, people talk about them when they were $350 and $400…

[@icemarkom]

Neither unboxing, nor the setup were shown at any point in this video. A little disappointing and misleading; especially given the fact an already very heavliy modified unit was shown.

[@CreatedWorkshop]

I did provide a full unboxing of the laser initially, and then fast forwarded to initial thoughts after having it a bit and setting it up.

[@Reviews-Tidbits]

3000 won’t work in Texas unless you have a climate control😕

[@toddo3591]

Nice video, the product is junk, they dont work and Monport does not have the capability to support them.

[@CreatedWorkshop]

What issues are you having with yours? They do have the capability to support them for sure. Maybe I can help?
