My 30 watt fiber laser came with a counterfeit BJJCZ board. Sometimes it would play nice, sometimes it would not. (No Dongle, or...worse...be engraving then draw a straight line at full power back...

I put together my router in 2012. It has been good to me, but I now depend on it a lot. If it goes down I'm dead in the water. It would also be nice to double my output.
It is a ViperXZ 30x24 from...

I have had my Thunder Laser, Nova 35, for about 45 days now. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase. The pre-sales, sales, and after sales support from Ada has been spectacular. I can’t...

It was really well packed. Everything is looking great. A big thanks to my Dad for helping getting it home. It was hot Heat Index over 100F 37.7C.
May be the weekend before I can give it a whirl...

First of all..before I go into the charges and fees I have incurred, I want to make sure everyone knows these are things out of Thunder Laser's control.
The charges do impact the overall total cost...

Update! My Laser is in Wilmington North Carolina. I should be able to pick it up in the next few days, I will borrow a trailer as I found out it is slightly wider than the bed of my truck.
This...

I really like your shop! It looks fantastic. Things are moving along with my laser. It made it to New York last week and is currently on another boat heading to Wilmington NC. It should be there by...

Right now I have about $6570 into it. (Including Ocean Freight) The unknowns are the customs/warehouse/etc. My guess is I'll have another $700-$800. Hopefully less. I'll provide an update about the...

I am building a room that will have HVAC,...

I just ordered a Thunder Laser Nova 35 with the following options:
Rotary Attachment
HD Optics
CW5000 Chiller

I live near Wilmington NC so the plan is to pick it up at the port.

I had to watch that a few times! The first time, I didn't catch it... I thought where did the bit go? Thanks for sharing I feel better. :-)

Hope to work on some of my limit switches this weekend.

I think I have my head wrapped around this G540 and proximity switches now.

I have:
(1) G540
(1) 48Volt Power Supply
(5) Inductive, Normally Open, NPN Three wire Proximity Switches. 10 to 30...

First Carving with XZero Viper router. - YouTube

Today is clean up the shed and electronics day... let's see which one takes more time. By the way, I didn't plan on milling any aluminum yesterday but I was successful at that as well.

Ok something that says restroom is not that exciting, but it came with the trial version of Vcarve Pro. In any case... I have my first cut!

It's Alive! XZero CNC Router - YouTube

Top on. I checked for square and level. It was fine! There is also plenty of room to clean and such under the router.

As far securing the table to the floor ,sometimes I just overengineered things. I also secured the table to the wall to a stud. It shouldn't go anywhere. I just tested the proximity sensor and it...

Router leveled...now attaching table to my floor. I love Kreg Jigs. Pocket holes are cool. I'm lucky my floor is plywood in my shed/man cave.

Today is my first full day of vacation. Let's see how much I can get done.

Because I was brain dead when I designed my table. I could not bolt down my router because of support structures under the table. So with the angle iron there, the front could be moved forward and...

A lot of progress in a short amount of time today. I have to quit for the day, but I have the router legs/tie down to a success point. I will of course need to level the router, but I feel a first...

The drivers look nice and compact, but beefy at the same time. I have a cheap all in one board (3 axis and a breakout) I used on another project that only beefy thing is a large heatsink to hide its ...

Dave,

Good advice.

Just hook up the E-Stop and let it go.

I'll sleep on it and see if I can let my self do that. Besides it's not like the thing is hard to take apart. I may just setup the...

That's funny! "Look at our dip switch location...don't mind the blown component in the photo." Really I zoomed in on it and it looks like someone did a bad photoshop job perhaps hiding the kind of...

Sorry for the slow progress. It's been crazy the last few weeks. I have a vacation coming up starting on the 6th. Over the ten days I plan to do my best to finish the project and make my first cuts....
