    As you may be able to tell, there is no discount coupon in the description of the video. I am sorry to say that this was now not possible due to some past error with coupons for this machine. However I did leave a link to gearbest where this laser is on sale for only $250 which is the BEST deal for the 20W version. Again I’m sorry there is no discount but definitely check out that other link:)

    Go to Thingiverse & Search for the laser. There are allot of mods to 3d print to make it even better. Like air assist to help even more with cutting, Also a Z axis mount to let you raise & lower the laser for better focusing.

    Thanks! Just ordered one. I had been on the fence, looking and weighing options. Once it shows up I'll build a box for it with an exhaust fan as I'll be using it inside. I used to work for a die shop where we had several lasers that cut 5/8" Baltic birch plywood and 1/8" steel plate. I would love to have something like that for making stuff but cost is always an issue. Thought about one of those 50watt CO2 lasers and doing some custom travel mug/water bottle engraving for local school's sports teams that they could maybe use as a fundraiser but I think I'll have to show my wife that I can do something with something small and less expensive first. Plus, you know, the Chinese flu. Your review pushed me over the edge because it will cut a good size and looks like it will do a good job for what I have planed. I would like to build a model of the Enterprise bridge from the original series. I've been working on 3D printing pieces but it takes so long to print the parts.
    Thanks again!!

I’d mostly be engraving on cutting boards but sometimes the cutting boards I make are slightly larger than the Ortur frame. Is it possible to engrave on larger objects by placing the Ortur legs on some blocks of wood to raise it up and then sliding the large cutting board underneath of the raised Ortur?

  • @hankus253
    @hankus253 3 роки тому +1

    Lydia you created yourself a problem now. First I saw you use that aluminum cylinder to set the "focus" distance, which is correct for the fixed focus lens. But then I saw you "REFOCUS" the laser by twisting the lens housing, which now has changed the distance between the lens and the surface being focused on. So there's the problem. Unless you make yourself a NEW cylinder or spacer that matches this new distance, you can't be using the aluminum cylinder that came with the Ortur. Does that make sense? BTW the lens can be slid up or down 10mm.

      The software they supply with it is PC/MAC only. There is no linux available. If you were to run a different software then maybe you could use a Raspberry pi. There is a windows software for the Pi but you would want to use the raspberry PI 4 as you would need the CPU power it has. Then you can use that just like most 3d printers do to control it remotely. Windows can be remotely controlled using the built in app or any other software. However this is a lot of work and takes time to get it working properly.

      Make sure you have yours focused with the cylinder that comes with the machine, usually that is what doesn’t allow it to cut.
