Reciprocating Laser Cutter

Reciprocating Laser Cutter

On Saturdays, after doing laundry at my parents' place, I and my dad engage in interesting projects. Recently, we worked on creating a cost-effective laser cutter using a 1 Watt IR laser diode instead of the conventional 20-100 Watt CO2 tubes found in Epilog laser cutters. Unlike traditional models with fixed focal points, our design allows dynamic depth adjustment for improved cutting performance. This project is inspired by my Open SLS 3D printer and made using a similar laser and broken CD/DVD drives. The mini CNC has limited travel distance but is highly suitable for experimentation purposes. Its compact size makes up for its limitations.
