First off Cool Vid. Was thinking about how I was going to add limit switches on mine. You how ever never showed where the cable got plugged into the circuit board. I am sure it is in the manual, but from an audience perspective it would be nice to see at a screen shot, as well as see it do it's thing. You know stopping by itself. I would also like to see what enclosures you had in mind. That would a good vid.
I installed he 2 switch version from Elegoo, 3d printed the mounts, and ran the lines after making one that was long enough. There is an online document on how to do this but elegoo doesnt sell any parts. The settings had to be adjusted correctly. Had to reverse pin polarity and also redefine "home". That part wasnt in their instructions but after setting it homes perfectly to the front left corner.
@@josedavidvergaragutierrez4264 Can you explain it in more detail? Do you mean the 'home' image on the Phecda? It is for finding an origin or other mysterious location, not zero-zero home. Hooked up to software clicking home works. The whole laser world seems messy and behind 3D printing by about 15 years imo. I'm sure as more people get into it, improvements will be made.
I think it's fine if you take it's limitations into account. You're not doing everything you would with a larger or more expensive setup. So thin wood or engraving it's fine. The limit switches help. I just did a bunch of repeat cuts and it helped to just home it and go each time.
Hi, I've the 10W Version. It's a good beginner laser. The fact, that it has no limit Switches ist a bit anoing but ok... and to be honest. The 400x400 is Not really true. The X-axis has a maximum of 380mm, i Use is just with 350mm

Those switches are installed upside down, please flip them so they don't hang out under the frame, and the cables hide inside the frame canal.

It works for me, but when I do home, it is as if it disconnected from the PC, could you give me the information to make it longer?

There's tons of examples for grbl based machines out there. Hope you didn't pay a lot for them.
Im looking at getting this laser unit - overall how do you like it - and also since you added the limit switches???

@@Holzkopp87 Yup. Not 400x400 laser area lol.
How did you run the air asssit tube?? Along he cable that curves?
Yeah, it just follows the braided cable along the gantry.
You can also use the small holes in the rear plexiglass for the zip ties. Works perfect as that is what they are there for :)
