Ortur Laser - Adjustable Air Assist (Diode Laser)!

[@mikewaskewicz]

Thanks! Just downloaded from the link in the description with no issues.

[@LK-xe4vn]

i use it from a week now this air assist from yours project and is perfect.the one without adjust. just one thing the lens adjust will not fit in but can adjust it with fingers so not a problem. it is very good idea.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Super! :-)

[@mdrew44628]

I hadn't thought about it in years, but we developed laser ablation process at IBM back in the 80's that used helium blown over the part for debris removal. We had a ss tube with holes in it for the helium and on the other side was a vacuum pickup.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Interesting, I know some folks also use CO2 from large cylinders used to refill paint ball guns too...

[@mdrew44628]

@@DIY3DTECHcom yeah we used M cylinders, doubled up with an auto switch over when one of them went below a cutoff pressure. That way you could change out the low cylinder without interrupting the process. The helium was used due to the size of the helium atom and the faster speed to sweep away debris if I remember correctly....30 years ago.....

[@bru77o]

another cool thing to add would be a protective "glass" in front of the laser beam like the new Atomstack A5 has. I'm curious to see your progress in air assist for these machines.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Interesting you say this, I am doing laser upgrade and it has a front glass as you mention. I don't fell its safe, so look for more this in the next month...

The Downloadlink is broken!

[@erniehodge4297]

Yes, the download link just doesn't work. I am trying out some air assist designs for my Ortur 20 W and this one looks really good.

[@WaffleScience]

It does work try copying the link into an incognito window I was having the same issue

[@now_watch_this]

hi friend, i have a question, is your laser module the adjustable focus type? if so, does air assist pump really makes any improvement? thank you for your response

empuja el aire o succiona ?no entiendo esa parte tengo un lasertree de 80w

[@danielschmidt8385]

I am not able to cut 4mm Plywood. Do you think it is possible with a Air Assist? Laser is 30W.

[@bjpasco]

Just found your channel. Thanks for the good content, delivery, and length of your videos. I just received a new Atomstack laser which comes with a protective shield around the laser output. I also do not have a 3d printer. Suggestions?

[@rc3d490]

you can make a support bending one wire around the laser

[@lesliehargrove4916]

I don’t have a 3D printer, do you make the pieces and sell them?

[@1961adams]

wondering that too. I dont own a 3d printer.

[@Parry635]

@@1961adams me too !!!

[@YorielGonzalez]

this air assist works with sliding up down laser head on new ortur laser mastes 2 2021?

[@vegardjakobsen5243]

Will this design work on fixed focus lens?

[@richfaraone]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@wilfredfontenot2213]

I do not have a 3d printer do you sell this item

[@jurgenbergman6887]

Hello You Sade that your using an 6 bars compressor. But, then u told us that you dont use so much air to blow away the coal. So, my question is: how high or how much air is going throw the nuzzle? Or, how much air does it required? Have on compressor outdoor that can do up to 12 bar. Or can i do it with an air compressor for fish tank?

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

I use an air brush compressor, at 6PSI via 0.8mm nozzle no clue on the volume of the air just the pressure. Note I find a good balance going much higher runs the risk of blowing the work piece away or out of alignment.

[@Vnkjoshi]

Which air compressor you used for this?

[@OccasionalWoodcraft]

How is this connected to the air pump? I can't see the pump you're using in the link but think I've something similar. Is it simple insert or do I need a connector of some kind?

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

You can direct connect it, but mine is a little more complex. I will likely do a video covering its design...

[@lgallert]

@@DIY3DTECHcomDid you do the connection video to the air pump, i am stuck at that point as well, is there some kind of special fitting needed to connect the clear tubing to the air compressor directly or a fitting to connect the air tubing to the threading tubing that came with the air compressor?

[@lgallert]

I figured it out just get a 1/8" BSPP x 1/4" Barb and attach the tubing directly to the compressor forgoing the hose that came with it.

[@mariaorfao3269]

For those that do not have a 3D printer, is anyone selling this? I am extremely interested

[@PaulPhillipsIndy]

FWIW the download link for this design on your 3d printables page is broken, it doesn't point to any files.

[@psysxet]

have you found any good supplement?

[@PaulPhillipsIndy]

@@psysxet I have not...

[@xicledragon]

I wonder if I could use a fish tank air compressor instead of a $80 air brush one. What are your thoughts?

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

But you need one with high output so you are going to be in the $65 to $80 price in general.

[@MikeNewham]

Is there some vacuum at the back to catch the smoke / debris being blown by the air assist? Cheers, Mike.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Check out my prior video on my evacuation system also see links in the description for what I use if your interested in learning more as it works well!

[@MikeNewham]

@@DIY3DTECHcom Cool. I've ordered the Ortur as I have found that using an existing RAMBo board (Prusa MKS3) with Marlin firmware does not allow full usage of my existing OptLaser Diode attachment. Basically the same 3D printer can not simply 'double' up as a laser engraver.

[@1hung2lomofo84]

this design has already been done and shared on thingiverse since july. its nearly exact down to the extruder nozzle minus the tube screw you added, would this then be a remix?

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Nope designed all by myself...

[@homerggg2]

Very interesting ! Currently waiting shipping of my Ortur Master Laser II and already have what is needed for this air assist. Might as well be ready when it will be delivered. Slight problem, can't seem to find any link to download the model ?

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

All my moddels are on the desinhstore: designstore.diy3dtech.com/adjustable-ortur-laser-air-assist-module/

[@PaulPhillipsIndy]

Agree with homerggg, the "Download Model:" URL doesn't download anything, just points back to the same URL as the page it is sitting on.

[@homerggg2]

@@PaulPhillipsIndy Same here.

[@just1rick21072]

Would you be willing to sell me a laser assist, because I don't have a 3d printer.

[@DIY3DTECHcom]

Sorry I don't have the time but this guy might be able to help you out: www.etsy.com/shop/JohnsRobotArmy

[@A3Kr0n]

I like your videos "Tony", but your sound is always muddled.

[@richfaraone]

I love your videos but I cringe when I hear you say "Orthor laser." The correct pronunciation is "Or tour." :-)
