Ok I’ve made the wife a deal. She has been using the crap out of the diode laser I set up on my primo. I told her if she keeps it up and continues using it and selling stuff then come income tax time I will build her a CO2 laser to really help the time it takes to cut things out.
With competitive price and timely delivery, Tiper sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
I’ve been doing research on it and will continue to. But I know there are a ton of y’all here with first hand knowledge and experience with these that will be able to help me out a lot as well.
Main desires (right now anyways)
24” x 48” working area
Powerful enough to cut 1/4” plywood in a single pass at a decent speed and as close to 100% cut rate as possible. (Taking 3 passes at 300mm/min and 90% power on the A right now and only about 70% success rate)
For more information, please visit 100w Co2 Laser Cutter.
Enclosed so no chance of stray laser beams in unwanted areas
Some of my main questions at this point are what controller/drivers/steppers should I run? Will the jackpot and s be enough or should I look at something like the Ruida?
I’m leaning towards getting the design files from this YouTube video and adjusting it to the size I want.
Also I have been looking at different laser tubes. Thinking of starting out with a cheaper one from eBay then later upgrading to a better one if it all works out and runs well. Will also need to source all of the mirrors lenses and whatever else I might need to get it done.
This is all stepping way outside of my comfort zone but I think I have learned enough to be able to figure it out. And I know with a lot of help from the awesome people here I can make it happen. I’m sure there is a TON I’m forgetting so please speak up about anything I need to keep in mind. Thank you all for the help!
