K40 CO2 Laser Complete Conversion

thingiverse

2 years ago I got my K40 Co2 laser and immediately converted it because the processing area was far too small for me.With this conversion you can achieve a work surface of 60x28cm.I found what I was looking for online at: https://der-frickler.net/technik/k40laserA special thank you to him because that was a good startI started working based on his idea and design. For the conversion you need a lot of electronic know-how and you should also have good craftsmanship.You should have an angle grinder, drill, etc. at home and sometimes just a pair of strong pliers works.The whole metal body is welded together amateurishly, so sometimes just a little tugging around helps.I changed some of Mr. Frickler's files, some of them were completely redrawn and designed. As you can see in my photos, the laser has now been running smoothly for 2 years.If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me.I have put all the photos that I could find online for you online and have recreated them. If anyone needs detailed photos, I can do it for you. it should be pretty self-explanatoryI'm sorry that I can't give you perfect instructions anymore, but since this was years ago I don't know everything in detail anymore, but if you're interested, a lot can be restored both in terms of files andvideo of the mashine is runninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfssaDM1bY0
