K40 Laser custom control panel

thingiverse

Just got my hands on a Cohesion3D board for my Chinese K40 Laser cutter, and it's time to upgrade the control panel. I'm using this design from cpennington82 (thanks for sharing) as a starting point and making some modifications to fit my needs. The new panel is designed to hold several essential components: - A GLCD reprap discount display for easy monitoring. - An SD card reader extension for convenient access. - An amp meter to keep track of power consumption. - The original K40 power adjust panel for precise control. - Three switches: the originals for Laser and Light, plus a new one for my air assist system. This part is made from 3mm acrylic. I won't be able to post pictures of it installed yet, as I still have some work to finish with the machine before swapping out the electronics. I'll share those when I get around to installing the new board and panel.
