I was the same way and my CNC machine isn't on my home network so all I did was run it back to my computer room and plugged it into my laptop. I guess these days with the IP cameras getting down to...

I have done something similar when I was cutting the same project over and over. I did it on the cheap though using a $10 webcam

I was going to use the smooth round duct that comes in 6 foot lengths until I saw the price! My next thought was to use 8 inch flex ducting but there are a few places in the run where 8 inch ducting...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was probably not giving the booster fan the benefit of the doubt since it would have been trying to pull through the first big fan. I also have 4 or 5 90 degree bends...

Compared to the main fan the booster is a joke. With just the booster running I would think a smokey chamber would clear in minutes instead of seconds. I always turn on the booster but I don't think...

Hi Zax,

Thanks for the reply. The machine I have has a damper that allows you to select if you are pulling from above, below or from both areas. When I am cutting I place solid sheets of material...

I need to add more exhaust capability to my 600mm X 900mm 60W laser cutter. The machine came with a large blower and I think the instructions said the exhaust should be 15 feet or less. I have to go...

I see what is going on now... Thanks for that clarification, makes much more sense now.

LOL, shows how much I know. I was very happy with the clean char free exit hole. :) All of the exit holes look about the same so I don't think it is an issue with the table. If the entry hole was an...

Hi Zax,

Thanks for the reply and tips. I will check the beam alignment again, I am still new to this and boy is it finicky... I think it took me over 2 hours to get it so that everything was...

Hi Zax,

That is what I was expecting but my tube has the coolant flow around the first mirror, down the center of the tube and finally around the second tube mirror. The outside of the tube has no...

Hey Guys,

I am just getting my Rabbit Laser 6090-SE setup. So far I have been very happy with the build quality for the price. The manufacturer has been very helpful in email correspondence but it...

I just got my laser up and running. I am using DI water with some clear automotive antifreeze in it. I wanted to use a colored one for the exact reason that you state but it looks like the coolant...

Hi Scott and Wayne,

Just though you would like to see the end result of the project.

Hi Pete,

I know this thread is old but I am thinking of getting the same machine. How did it work out for you. Are you still using it?

Hey Guys,

The gear clock kit is now available and there is an electronic only option so that you can make the gears yourself using your own CNC machine.

Have a look at the Gear Clock Kit...

Hi Wayne,

It was the one listed on comment #36 or #40. I actually didn't realize there was more than one conversion program or version listed in this thread until I went looking for the comment...

Hi Scott,

That works perfectly! You saved me hours of work. :)

Thanks a million.

I was working on an Artcam project that got corrupted. I have the gcode that was created before the file got damaged though. I am trying to get a DXF file from the gcode.

I have tried another...

Hi HellPhish,

Thanks for having a look. You just need to look at the top of the two gears. When the 12 and 0 are on top it is 12:00. It the first one is half way between 1 and 2 and the second one...

I have been looking everywhere for some small cheap stepper motors (surplus is fine).

I would like to offer this project as a kit but I don't want to spend $10 or $20 for each one though....

Hi Jeff,

Corian would work great but it would much more expensive than the MDF that I made it with. :) Yes I designed the clock.

Ever since I setup the CNC machine and built the controller housing I have been playing around with various ideas....

Here is a small video of the steps that I took to put together my new Fireball V90 CNC Router. You can find the full step description here....

This is just a fun first test of my new Fireball V90, I figured that I could route some text into an old CD-ROM controller circuit board. The results were better then I expected. Yes, I know there is...

I am not sure about voxelman's machine but I also ordered mine and it is in a big box ready to be built. Since I will be documenting the build for Hacked Gadgets I am waiting till I have a bit of...

That looks like a great controller. It seems very common for people for purchase the hardware from one place and the motors and controllers from another but for my first build I am thinking that I...

I also joined the Yahoo group and have been very impressed with the availability of John and Len. I think this month I will also be making the plunge and getting a V90.

Thanks, I have seen the larger Lumenlab CNC machines before, I see the tiny one that you are talking about. It is cheap but I think it is quite small and slow. The demo video doesn't do much to...
