Part 2 of the big DIY fiber laser build

This channel FEEDS my geek-addiction to DIY machines and CNC-Automation projects. Super cool build!

[@riyadali5770]

Automation Overstock has hiwin replicas and helical rack and pinions reasonably priced but the in the US. As yoy may already know helical would impose a thrust force on your planetary gearboxes, something to consider if you decide to go with helical. Looking forward to your build thanks for sharing, all the best!

Not totaly sure what the constraints are with milling the sides flat, but I saw a DIY build where guys set the gantry up with a angle grinder bolted on, and then used the motion of the gantry to grind the side mounitng plates flat.

Oh hi Now that's an idea. Thank you, we will definitely look into that. R

[@evren.builds]

whoa thats a cool move do you remember his channel or what he was making?

[@rosswoolley2854]

Are you going with a screw compressor.

[@robbroomfield468]

Still trying to decide as I already have a screw compressor but it's only 8bar 😔

[@rosswoolley2854]

@@robbroomfield468 I think you need 16bar.

[@robbroomfield468]

Yeah for a constant 11bar as required by the head. Definitely need that. Thanks
