That should work I would think, just go slower, and/or use more passes. I bought the Sunwin 3 Watt module here: www.amazon.com/SUNWIN-3000mW-Violet-Module-Engraver/dp/B01I69U2OU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497066831&sr=8-1&keywords=sunwin+3+laser+module Modules that list over 8 watts (like the 12 W and 15W) at this time seem to be listing peak or pulse wattage, and I'm not sure how to take advantage of that at this time. Just a FYI, read the fine print.
Hi, how is this, but to repeat host, firmware repetier, and inventor cam ??
I cannot get my laser to turn on, when I look at the Gcode I do not see the command M106 or M107
Mike Carr what program are you using to generate your G code? There should be a place to configure the laser on and off codes.
I was following you step by step with Fusion 360. I ended up grabbing the latest from Github and configuring the ready laser tool.
Did that work?
Yes, sure did!
why did you stop making these fusion videos
Dunno, is there something you'd like to see?
Which laser did you buy? I ended up buying the wrong laser, NICHIA NDB7675 462nm 1.4W Blue Laser Diode in Copper Module W/Leads & Glass Lens

Did you buy a heatsink and laser driver board with this?
Yeah, I followed the $100 laser guide but the laser is not as powerful as I want
Bummer! Have you considered moving up to one of those super cheap C02 Lasers? I've been toying with getting one for a while.
I haven't seen them yet
can you add a link to this file
