i currently also have a 60 Watt omtech and when I need to replace the tube plan to upgrade to 100 Watt or maybe 80 Watt as you did. I appreciate this video immensely. You mentioned yo have a box - I will call it the laser tube extension shroud. where did you get it. I don't see it as an accessory on the omtech web site.
The tube and power supply were less than $900 through CloudRay. Delivery was fast, as they have US based inventory. Tubes that need to come from China have another ~$400 shipping tacked on.
I bought the one on Amazon meant for the K40. I had to use the existing plate to mount that box to. You'll need a jigsaw with a metal blade and a drill to start the hole.
Am saving to buy an OMTech 55-60w 1624. This upgrade confirms my decision to buy & upgrade as needed. Thanks!
Did you consider attaching the new water tube to the old and just pull it through?
where did you get the portable laser power meter
Thanks for the great info!
So you just have to replace the tube, power supply, and move some hose to fit? That’s pretty easy!!😊
Did you have to do anything when switching out your power supply ? Anything settings wise on lightburn.
how much did it improve performance? I'm thinking about upgrading mine it has a hard time cutting 1/4" plywood now

I just did mine and bought a nice metal box from lightobject
@@jonsaircond8520 I contacted OMTech and got the shroud for $35.
Can you add the 3d print tube mount somewhere so I can go with a friend and print?
yeeesssssss i was thinking the same!! are you willing to sell if i asked for you to make a couple for me ??
Where you get the laser power test device?
Alibaba. It's about $200. It's great. I compared it to a nearly $1000 Edmunds meter and it performed the same.
How much did you spend?

Can you share the 3D print file for the tube holder?? Thx
