Test with 100mm/s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYHjUQ8j9-A Building a new 40W Co2 Laser Since the V Slot Profile is hard to get in Germany and I'm a friend of Linear Rails, here's my version to help take the K40 to a new level. As Tube Mount, I use the existing design from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2259794 Everything is still pretty beta and one of my first designs, so be nice to me. I hope all the measurements fit, unfortunately, the mirrors are not yet here to see how well I measured and if the laser will do what it's supposed to in the end. Most parts are made from 4mm XT Plexiglas lasered by the original K40. In addition, a few parts were printed with the 3D printer. All other parts could also be printed, for those who don't have a laser. I printed with 100% infill, except for the Tube Mount. The material list includes the basics only. Controllerboard, cables, connectors etc. are not included. I'm using an Sbase V1.3 board with Smoothieware. End switches are mechanical, as simple as possible. A 50W 50mm tube will be used. This should not exceed the limit with a 40W laser power supply. It should all be durable, after all. The deflection rolls and pulleys have 20 teeth and are not included in the material list yet. The housing will likely be made of Plexiglas or Siebdruckplatten. Those who need more space for a movable Z table or axis in the future can use 20x40 profiles instead of 20x20, or another solution to increase the Z axis height. I only need space to cut and don't need so much room in the Z direction. It's just an initial approach to start further developments or inspire a community for that purpose. With the lengths listed in the material list, I get a workspace of 280mm x 500mm. With a few changes to the design, you can get more out of it. Or adjust the lengths of the individual aluminum profiles accordingly.
