Emooze Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I got the J Tech Photonics laser upgrade for the Shapeoko. Started installing it today, hope to do some test runs this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started installing it today, hope to do some test runs this weekend. Please be careful with that. When I started looking at laser attachments for the Shapeoko I decided the only laser I'd ever let myself near was one in a fully rated enclosure with idiot (me) proof controls. I'd suggest making a pre-burn checklist that you rigorously follow. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emooze Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Agreed, coming from a lot of work-related laser work, there's a personal arm/de-arm sequence and there will be an enclosure before anyone else is even in the garage with me. I trust myself, but no one else. Also need an enclosure for fumes anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emooze Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 The thing I have learned working with a lasers is you need to treat it like a weapon: is it loaded/plugged in, is it safed/armed, is it pointed at the thing I am going to shoot and not at the things I do not want to shoot, am I wearing the safety gear, is everyone else safe or with gear on, do I know what I am doing? Only then, do you press the button. Shitty day out here, trying to motivate myself to head out to the garage and put my words into actions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emooze Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Truth, it is not. However, it is raining and real cold. The weather does not agree with the great news. Edited November 7, 2020 by Emooze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Truth, it is not. However, it is raining and real cold.

I did wave when passing the exit for 135! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emooze Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 It's been a nasty weekend, weather-wise. Perfect for staying in and doing stupid things with lasers.

dsavitsk Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Not sure where to put this, so I'll put it here: Does anyone have any single ended output transformers laying around that they would be willing to lend me for some testing? Specs don't matter much. Primary can be anything from 3K5 to 15K, any secondary appropriate for speakers (4 to 16) is fine. I'll clip lead them in, test them for a bit, and then send them back.
