Hola amigo, Tengo entendido que estas gafas protegen de los reflejos que se puedan producir en la avitación donde está el láser, como paredes, etc. Peró no te protegen si miras directamente el corte. Hay que tener en cuenta que una parte de la luz és infrarroja y no es visible. Yo también estoy haciendo una un poco más grande, de 60w Co2, y la idea es hacerla completamente cerrada con una cámara dentro y un pequeño monitor fuera... Saludos desde Catalunya
We use a 15W laser and a little smaller CNC system to rework panels. Unfortunately it is fixed focus and had to be modified to get the laser the required space from the surface. We got the same glasses but don’t trust them that much too. The laser powered on when I plugged the USB cable in and burned a hole in the desk !! This laser is nice a powerful but without laser focus ability it makes it a challenge to use.
Thanks for the video! I would really like to see what this laser could do with with a good hardwood instead of cheap plywood. I am thinking of buying this engraver and if I do I will reinforce all the plastic pieces with washers at each screw hole to distribute the stress as well as install corner brackets!
I,m building a laser cutter right now with a Elekmaker laser. Where do you buy the blue metal holder block at 4:53 in the video? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
good build description,good enough kit for a 2 axis laser,safety features are lacking a big carboard box might help more than the glasses(not being funny),or a 6mm plywood box with interlock micro-switches to cut power to the stepper driver board,super simple and the arduino nano can still accept the CAM files,most of these things need a bit of tweaking to make the thing you REALLY want it to be,a 3 axis might be more than it can support(flex/deflection of the axis support beams,though you could rebuild it with larger gauge box section. I want one,though i think my own build will get exactly what i want/need. Great vid,like with a BIG thumbs up dude.
Really nice, man. :) Is that banana a reference to Peter Sripol? LOL He has a HUGE laser cnc machine that he uses to cut foam, to make his rc airplanes. :D
Hahah you sound like the rest of us mate " I want a cnc and laser cutter" wah wah wah ;) well that's what the wife thinks I sound like. Very nice video mate - thanks for sharing and all the best for your future projects. Cheers Jim
I hsve the same problem with elekscam. Manual movment and when you engrave no movement. This is a bug in the software. Make sure that your Windows have the Region. Englisch united states and it will work
Hello Friend, I need your help, please. I've just purchased a 2.5w laser module and want to replace my .5W laser module but the 2.5W laser doesn't switch on. I have a similar machine and motherboard to the one you have assemble in this Video. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you, Randy
Hi i have same machine just assembled it ..worked for 5 min but now wont move at all in y or x ...in benbox when i hit the manual move buttons a light flashes on main board somit seemms its getting signal from software but stepper motorscwont power on.....i can manually turn on laser...any ideas why steppers seem dead or no signal?
Hey great video. I'd like to build a similar cnc machine. What sort of aluminium extrusions are being used here. And do you know where I could get the roller wheels. I keep searching but I don't know the proper name for them and so I don't get the correct search results. Many thanks
Hi Im looking to add a drill like you mentioned 11:05 of the video. Whats it called? I've been trying to find one in a google search but have come up with nothing.
Hello , i have Eleksmaker A3 pro ,do i need to calibrate the machine? I have installed the program, I choοse the COM and the machine. , what do button set home and home? I can move the laser manually, but when I select the photo while it shows to the computer that it reads the design it does not move the laser at all. Could you help me? Thank you
Not the best product but the design is super simple. I might make myself one of those based on this design but different as some of those parts are hard to find here locally or are too expensive even from china.
I found the Eleksmaker now with a really good discount on Banggood: www.banggood.com/nl/2500mW-A3-30x40cm-Desktop-DIY-Violet-Laser-Engraver-Picture-CNC-Printer-Assembling-Kits-p-1003863.html?p=7I22079633188201703T
Hey what's going on buddy I was wondering if you can help me I have the same type of engraving machine I put it all together I have two different lasers but for some reason and nothing works it does nothing it doesn't move I don't know what I'm doing wrong I need help if you can email me or do something to help me I would really appreciate it
By the way it's not 2,5W laser ..they are pretty all over the place. Mine measures only 900mW light output >..< EleksMaker needs to make something with their QC or stop lying about their products. Also you used the nuts on the swrews completely wrong way - they are supposed to grip into the acrylic ;)
There's a elekscam auto fix tool, install and it will work wiki.eleksmaker.com/doku.php?id=elekscam at the bottom of the site. Or it doesn' t work because the weak light is still on
wanted to share +Marco Reps video on upgrades to this machine. with a few changes this cnc looks to perform very well. ua-cam.com/video/ZzO9skEYqwY/v-deo.html
I wonder why the makers of theses machines can't add in instruction manual with the machine. It pissed me off. I have a different one that looks similar and I don't know the model number. S.o. b. Come on man. Bad review from the start.
Axel Werner Well the machine is quite simple. Its not like you cannot buy the components separately and build something similar yourself. The angle brakets could easily be 3D printed and the rest bought or replaced. An arduino uno + cnc shield could easily replace the main board.
The company that helps my workshop shouldn't bother you. I show you the machine and I really wanted this one for my future projects. If you want to buy it using any other shop is your choice. If you are not here for my videos, I'm very, very sorry to hear that. Have a nice day.

Hello Sir your video is amazing I just bought one of this machine and I need to ask you where I can get the drill tool accesorie??
Hola, buenisimo el video, se ve que eres profesional.
Cual es la resolucion del aparato? Gracias , Sergio
It is a nice machine I have no major problem with it, very precise
Did you ever manage to etch a PCB? I’m interested to see your results! Thanks in advance!
Congratulations for the video man! What exactly can we do with this laser (2.5w)? Did you already record a video about it?
How do you like the machine as of now? Is the dual steppers on the y axis giving you any trouble?

Hello, Just wondering if you've tried to laser any plastics to see if they mark or melt?
BUGFIX at 7:18
Bugfix for the original EleksCAM software change the number format - decimal point from , to .
Andre Muensti wow. That's the bug? I'll try it! Thanks
Where do I need to change what exactly to fix the bug?
what about PCB label engraving. Can you write text on PCBs to mark where which components needs to be placed?
does this machine also work on marking on metals like brass, steel ,etc
Nice video, the first one that do the steps one by one,
Hi Electronoobs, I'm so interested with the roller and the aluminum bar. May I know where did you purchased it?
So, were you ever able to use it for PC boards? You never did another video on it....did it end up sucking?
you can make plastic smt stencils with this laser cuter
Greetings, I am wondering if you every tried adding the little drill attachment you showed? Are there addon plans to be able to add that? Thanks!
Cool, but i plan to buy the first price co2 laser cnc laser cutter for arround 350 euros instead, because i think cutting is more usefull.
I wanted that but is 350 for USA. For Spain with shipping and all is almost 1500 :( and I don't have that yet.
This guy is a banana salesman I always look for it on his show and it's reliably there
You have to put a 10k Pulldown Resistor to the pwm signal pin of the Arduino, so it won't turn on by itself when you connect it to your pc
you tested this? sounds like a good idea
@@EpicSqu1rrel Yes and it works like a charm
I appreciate u r thinking.... by keeping fruit...

Hello
Can the laser be installed instead of the engine in the CNC 3040 4 axis Router.
Is the electronic circuit has a place to install a laser cable.
Hi, I am thinking to use this machine to engrave serial numbers to a made commercial PCB boards, have you tried it before ? thanks
Looks neat!
Thank you!
Can it engrave on metal?
Hi sir...I am also making this machine as my final year project...is the firmware already exist in benbox or we have to write it ourselves???
love the banana for scale !
Can I use this machine as a stamp rubber engraving ? If I use the appropriate settings can I make good quality stamps ? Thanks,,

how to replace a laser with a drill...please
where to buy the drill bit?
I want to burn logos onto leather. What laser should i use?
Noa Gomez I have a 3 watt Insma engraver and it does leather really well. Usually anything over 2 watts would reliably do the trick.
Very good video and damn you are good looking!
hey buddy,
does this lazer goes through metal ?
No way!
@@ELECTRONOOBS but it draw on it?
can we cut leather or fabric?
It cuts very thin fabric. Won't cut leather, only engrave it! Maybe passing the laser multiple times..
Thanks for the answer

Qué pasó con el canal en español?
Not the best product but the design is super simple. I might make myself one of those based on this design but different as some of those parts are hard to find here locally or are too expensive even from china.
I bet is more fun to make your own! Keep up!
can you increase the size of the "print area" to 20 inch x 30 inch? i want to cut airplane design from flitetest
