Cleaning the LaserMATIC MK2

A step by step walk through of how I clean my Roly Lasermatic MK2 30 watt. This was a requested video, I hope it helps... I also used the #clackvision glasses to give a better perspective of the process. I use the RayBan Meta glasses to create those shots.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers.

I ordered some of those glasses. My wife says I need to stop watching your channel:)

Don't get me in trouble... lol

When in doubt when I’m cleaning stuff near sensitive electronics, I spray the cleaner on my rag then wipe down the surfaces.

[@TheClackShack]

That is the best practice

[@LarryDMitchell]

Good clean (pun intended 😁) process and video. Thanks

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks…

[@walonguy111]

Great instruction Clack, thank you!

[@TheClackShack]

Very welcome

Set a magnet on the machine for the screws, it should help.

[@TheClackShack]

Yea, I usually don't loose them.

[@jf5336]

Great video, thanks for the tips.

[@TheClackShack]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Terry_Genereaux]

If you remove the honey Combe as it need to be cleaned anyway it makes it much easier to cleann

[@TheClackShack]

Mine isn't ready for cleaning yet.. thanks

[@justinbanks2380]

Great video showing process of cleaning. I've never seen a video before showing the process before. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting this machine. Do they have a hidden place to order different laser modules? Currently 10 and 20 are only versions available. I think the 20 will be good enough for me, but curious if in future could upgrade the head. (Or if they have any plans to release an Infrared module for metal)

[@TheClackShack]

The machine is switchable. They seem to be selling out of the 30 watt models pretty fast.

Your best guess as to how many work hours or projects between cleanings. whether recommended or just guessing as to how often is needed. Ive cleaned mine once and it was dirty after a dozen or so projects plus jigs and tests. It wasnt bad but the underside was kinda nasty

[@TheClackShack]

20 ish cutting boards, some leather projects and many testing burns. I also cut out a sheet of wooden coins yesterday. More than I probably should have before cleaning... lol

I have a Xtool D1 pro 10 watt and rotary arriving Tuesday. I gave up on my Genmitsu Lc40. But I see the 10 with rotary this brand was not much more money. I wonder if this would have been a better choice. I am a complete beginner. Greg

[@TheClackShack]

If you needed an enclosure it would have. Both lasers are good machines

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

As you mentioned, alignment of the bed and rotary would be easier. As well as having a camera. And seems like everything is contained in the enclosure. I figured it would be easier as a beginner.

I noticed that when you move the gantry, the fan at the rear spins. Is this the generation of electricity that you mentioned earlier?

[@TheClackShack]

Yes

[@JumboShr1mp]

where you get the risers for LaserMATIC Mk2?

Im on the fence between the 30w and the 20w. Do you think there is a big enough difference to get the 30w over the 20w. I wouldn't be cutting more then 3/8" at most. mostly 1/4 and 1/8th.

[@TheClackShack]

You can do most jobs with either. Time would be the only difference.

Thanks

[@ValricoDave]

I'm afraid of stripping screw. Are replacements available?

[@TheClackShack]

Typically, if you strip the threads, it will be the threads in the hole before the screw. Screws are steel and chassis is aluminum. Just be careful..

[@Terry_Genereaux]

I take my MK2 every Saturday to the Spa …

[@TheClackShack]

Good idea
