Which version of light burn do you have? I'm at a loss of which one of gcode, dsp, galvo.
Gcode version for the k40+
@NEWTechCreative Ok, thanks! I ordered k40+ and it came in.
I missed something. How can you upload, or find a new ESP32 if the WiFi on it is not set up?
Two ways for this: 1. Over USB port and using the fluidterm to setup - fluidterm is in the setup files. Use the $ commands to setup. More info here: wiki.fluidnc.com/en/features/wifi_bt 2. You can connect directly to the esp32 over its own access point. Once fluidnc is uploaded to the esp32, it will create its own wifi to connect to called ‘fluidnc’ password 12345678
Do you have a link for the manual? Omtech actually doesn’t have one (the file for the k40+ is for a different component)
Is this what you are after? cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0556/7512/5806/files/USB-0302-X2.pdf?v=1704866532
wow! next level good job!

Hello can you help me? The manual of my K40+ is poorly written and lacks of clarity, which made the initial assembly and calibration frustrating. It took significantly longer than expected to get the machine up and running due to the unclear instructions. Thanks.
Absolutely

si It's possible to cut 5mm acrylic. i wont to use 5mm, but will be using perspex as i know this is a best quality acrylic to laser cut. would it not be better to have the water chiller to? im in the uk so not hot here but seems like your in Oz my cousin?
Yeah the the machine runs just fine using water, however I have noticed that there is a water chiller available too! Not sure how much more useful it would be but might make a difference through summer!! Yeah summer gets pretty steamy here is Oz!
@@NEWTechCreative it will make a difference how well does it cut 5mm acrylic?
5mm is pretty easy on the k40+. I found it easier to cut with 3 fast passes for a better finish.
@@NEWTechCreative excellent as i use both 5mm and 3mm!
It's amazing how all these creators have a problem just at the right time for PCBWay to sweep in and save the day. Very fortunate! They are always at the right place at the right time.
Also does it have a pass through to put larger pieces of wood
Unfortunately no. Feel free to check out their 50W laser machine for additional features!
I’m a little confused I have never had a laser before but I want to get one and not sure which to get I am new to all of this what’s the difference in omtech co2 k40 + and a diode laser ? and I thought it only needed a air purifier what else does it need?
Great question! The main difference from the perspective of laser technology is that CO2 lasers can cut a greater range of materials. Diode lasers unfortunately cannot cut clear materials and limits what you can create with your machine. As long as you mount your air hose outdoors, you won’t need a purifier. It was only the water need to purchase additionally to cool the CO2 tube.
Cutting speed on 4mm wood ?
I bought a giant, ugly one of these from China...actually works for 1/3 the cost.
Is there air assist on this laser at the cut? Cheers
Yes! There is a small air pump installed in front left on machine body that connects through to laser head.
@@NEWTechCreative thanks
Love to see the new build Myles! I dont know why UA-cam didn't suggest this video when you released it! clearly I needed to hit that bell button! Its great to see the Root controller in action! I guess I need to send you another one soon with all these projects!
Haha! All good Pete 😂 hopefully have the next video released in 3 weeks 👍 loving the root controllers 👌👌
How thick wood (ply) can it cut?
How many passes do you wanna take? It’ll get through basically anything with the right lens and settings, but I’d guess 3-4mm would be a good “normal” thickness for a 40w machine.
That acrylic case looks so cool! Didn't know you could get a C02 laser in this price range. Do you find the bed size limiting?
Great question! The bed size is perfect for A4 sized material and can purchase acrylic in this size, however I would always appreciate to have a larger working area! The size is reflected in price and their next version up does do 500x300 I believe but at a higher price.
@@NEWTechCreative Thanks for the response. Did the purchase price include delivery? And do you know how often the C02 tube needs replacing?
@dustinrex4585 Yes this includes shipping! If you use at the suggested max of 75% power, it should last around 1100hrs… for engraving I usually run at 20-50% so I recon it would last me many years if I used ever day!
Can i use scriber instead of diamond engraving bit?
This might just work!! 👍
Omg!you uploaded amazing -🙂
brooo The intro on another level
I need the complete diagram because the one you give does not explain where each component goes or where the screen or the stick goes. Your project is impossible to replicate because things are incomplete. Can you provide me with the complete diagram, thank you
More than happy to help you out! Are you able to join my discord to assist? discord.gg/TWjMhWRM
Great intro. I love the donuts, particularly the one in the printed plastic shell. I'll be interested to see where you go with these things and what's next. Newly subscribed.
Thank you!! 🙏 🤩
I want to switch away from Mach4 for my CNC router. I want the new style wifi type firmware like 3D printers use. I think I have narrowed down between FluidNC and buying a board from Bart, or Buying a Duet3 board and using Reprap. I wonder which one is more finished and will be easiest to implement on my CNC router? The good thing about Duet is I want to switch a couple 3D printers I have from Marlin to Duet / Reprap as well. So I could have a common hardware / firmware between my CNC machines and 3D printers.
Great question. Personally I would stay with mach4 due to the dedicated CNC platform and flexibility in software, however if your intending to change, I would get frustrated using Reprap platform for CNC purposes. Reprap will have a reduced functionality for CNC use where as fluidnc is a CNC platform at heart. At the end of the day go with what you are most comfortable with and make it a learning journey 🤩🤩
Extra weight at the bottom? Unlikely, i think it's just bottom heavy by design because that's where power elecrtronics and the Z powertrain lives. TT was previously known as Tevo and gained a pretty horrible reputation for itself; but it's since evolved a lot. Two of the people i knew at Geeetech work there now. I wonder if the HGX gears are well axis supported in the extruder. Creality K2 has a flaw there that the axis just start flopping around and the extruder gears start misbehaving in all sorts of ways.
If the usb cord works for DATA on other stuff but not your ESP32. your missing "windows" com port drivers. install Windows CH340 Driver or CP210x Universal Windows Driver and you will likely have joy. For example, if you have a wemos d1 and the blue LED does not light up when you plug the usb port into a PC. Its because there is no com port. It needs a virtual comport driver. As well you will also need the correct .jason file and the correct board file/library loaded in arduino IDE.
Thank you for this Berin! Yes you are correct - since posting the video, the ESP32 can now communicate with windows 11 using the correct drivers! Great advice 🤩🤩
the videography/intro is AMAZING! Can you share more info on the simple neopixel sheet and lamp? I know you said it didn't excite you, but it looks easy and straight forward and my kid would love for me to build him one.
Thank you! Please send me an email to newtechcreative@gmail.com and happy to share files 🤩🤩
Hello Miles. Loved the video! Would you be able to make the tool paths for the little stool that you made first available?
Absolutely! Feel free to send me an email at newtechcreative@gmail.com
can cut the plexi glass with 80w 775 spindle motor ?
Yes, however I wouldn’t go any thicker than 3mm and take .5mm step down at 1000mm/m with a 1/8 inch single flute and something to either blow or vacuum the debris. 👍
completamente sin sentido ese puente
Interesting! Feel free to elaborate.
Hi, I've had a Queenbee Pro for a year and I still haven't been able to use it because I can't connect the spindle either by RS485 or by PWM. I'm really going crazy with this. Do you have an email address to send a photo of what I get when I try to put fluidnc?
Feel free to join me on discord (preferred): discord.gg/wYJJcQEE Or email: newtechcreative@gmail.com
great project man! I've been considering building one of those for a while if you really want to go over the top with this thing, tou should consider cycloidal drives for your steepers. close to zero backlash + some reduction ratio to avoid microstep issues. is it worth the effort? not so sure, but i think would be hella fun xD and klipper of course!
Oh sweet!! This would be awesome! I’m always up for so crazy experimentation 😂😂🤩
When you were testing the speeds you said that there is some kind of restriction holding it back and thats correct. Most machines/firmwares have an extra parameter called acceleration. Maybe check if your firmware has that aswell and set a higher acceleration when running higher speeds.
I will definitely check out - I did rush the fine tuning to get up and running and may have missed this! Great suggestion 🤩🤩
Interested in the pen/servo/compliant machanism. would you share pictures/details?
I haven’t uploaded files yet, however it’s very similar to the v1engineering pen holder for the MPCNC - this is available on printables I think!
2d bed slingers can add many static print heads for many times faster prints. use two scotch yokes to move the print bed in 2d, its more rigid than the two point beam axle mechanism. well if you want to keep the print bed static, then just use the same 2d mechanism to move a bunch of print heads at once. 2d sling print bed is just two axial rigid screws. on rails. also screw movement is a gear down ratio for high speed motors, like stepper motors. yep no belts, just two screw linear xy drives. actually, it can be fully xyz screw linear drives only. for both print bed movement or just print head plane movement. assume that the print head tool is socketed to the control point of the 2d or 3d scotch yoke intersection point. also each axis movement is controlled by one screw only, not multiple motors. preventing tilting or out of sync situations. at least the xy print bed movements are one-screw fully supported, even if the vertical print head level is using 2/4 level screws not just one. one the vertical print head axis controlled by one screw without sagging on sides, would be like an elevator with 8-point cube corner point rollers on the rails. wireless? you could use the rails as power and signal rails. just like power line lan adapters. yes the Z-axis is like a high tonnage press linear screw rail mounting. xy system being mounted in the z-rails movement mount system in the rails.
Awesome info! Thanks for this - the scotch yokes look like a fantastic mechanism for this build! I hear what you’re saying about screw driven over belt, however curious to see how the belts will respond over time… maybe I’m just delaying the inevitable! 😆😆
@@NEWTechCreative I wonder if super fast drone motors would make the screw fly fast.
@@gsestream now that would be incredible to see!! 🤩🤩
Stepper motors are not amazingly precise when micro-stepping. What you can do is add a reduction ratio, especially with the motor short-belt that you made. You can add a larger-diameter pulley on the rod, and keep the smaller one on the motor. That way, the motor will need to rotate more times in order to move the same amount on the XY and you can rely less on micro-stepping giving you precision.
Great suggestion! That would be a pretty easy swap over and will definitely consider this! I’m curious on the ability of motors and will upgrade if too many issues. Great advice 🤩🤩
With modern drivers, they're quite accurate as long as you don't have high load (high moving mass and/or acceleration) against the limited and nonconstant holding torque. TMCs are not like old A4988 and similar.
Cool video!!
I was wondering waht type of plastic did you use for the 3D printed parts ?
Probably something like ABS or ASA
I’ve just used PLA for prototyping 🤩 however I think ASA would be a much more suitable material!
@@NEWTechCreative Thanks for your reply, on video those pieces look great, almost like Carbon Fiber that's why I was curious.
@@jmsfer I think it was printed with matte black filament… has a real nice finish 😄
Look Great, exept im not a fan of closed loop belt to drive the belt, i think you create more backslash and vibration with this thing, my experience in CoreXY ( 2 Machine ) is....K.I.S.S.....keep it simple stupid...advantage with Klipper you can add sensor to check and correct the over mouvement in change of direction, we see this on yours paper at each corner. Not fan to your pen support, far from the head and with the "spring" , im sure you got lot of vibration there, try to put accelometer sensor on it. I take note of some of your idea and This give me the tempation to play with servo, i never try yet i keep my eye open for your next video
We shall see!! Yes I agree, plenty more space for improvements 🤩 klipper would be pretty sweet to dial in the machine - great advice 👍
This is the only video you can find on youtube about ESP32 with Fluidnc! great explanation. 👍
Cheers mate! 🤩
There should be a button on the top that also moves sideways. When pressed it allow you to view the images
How far can you use it
I wouldn’t go any farther than 10m!
When do you start selling kits? One of the nicest machines I've seen ANYWHERE!
😄oh that would be amazing to be able to sell kits! Thanks for your feedback. I don’t plan to sell kits at this stage, however finalizing plans to release 🤩🤩
@@NEWTechCreative was it expensive to have the plates manufactured?
@NEWTechCreative Also, how do you figure out the lengths of the ball screws and linear rails? All In the design I'm sure. Do ball screws come in standard lengths that you design around? Thx again
The total machine build is approximately 5k AUD$. It depends on where you can get plates manufactured and cost of this. I have put together a huge amount of build docs since my last video that I will be releasing soon and includes a build of materials list with links, 3D reference files and technical drawings. I designed the machine on readily accessible items that can be sourced anywhere you are in the world also provided options for plates that can be laser/plasma cut to allow different options depending what’s available. I have some testers helping me with fine tuning before release.
New Sub 😁🎉❤😊
By the way, this is wonderful workmanship. I have my reservations, however, when it comes to fixing them: Let's imagine one of the lights just got damaged, right? It'd be a pain in the rear end to fix it! Would you be open to the idea of the integration of *modularity* to have an unfair advantage when dealing with a broken LED donut?
Thanks for your comment! I hear what you’re saying 😆 this would be annoying. The doughnut can be easily separated and replace as needed - although you have an interesting point regarding modularity!! Great suggestion 👍👍
I'm motivated again to get my started project out of the basement. Thanks for the great video.
Good luck with the build 👍👍🤩
Nice design and impressive work
hey man great work. Can you please share more details about ULN2003 and how to wire it up, the wiring diagram you give is little bit messy.
how much distance can that camera scan ? There are 110 horizontal and 75 vertical degree scanning in data sheet but I couldn't notice any length that identified
I’ve texted outside and seemed to be effective within a 10meter distance!
