Projet CNC makerslide laser, 40W

This projects aims to build a small 40W CNC laser using makerslide




There is a need for a small and versatile CNC laser cutter/engraver at the Lab:

  • Cut small wood / plastic parts, mainly for robotics and drones.
  • Cut small aluminium parts.
  • Engrave PCB.

The devices should not require too much space, should be cheap and self-replicating, which means that the laser should be able to cut most of its own parts.

While searching the Internet, I found this small 40W laser CNC device inspired by Buildlog.net, using famous makerslide and arduino.

This laser seems to be a derivate from Shapeoko CNC. According to the authour, it was designed as a "self replicating" laser cutter engraver'.

If some members are interested, we can discuss building this Buildlog.net device shortly.
