    Question K40 Main Board Replacement Options and Advice Needed.

    Hello,

    I have purchased a K40 and am very keen to upgrade from the Moshi Board to something Opensource, and was wondering if I could get some advice on the options out there?

    I have had a cursory glance at the Laos, and Smoothieboard, but would love to know what other options people with more experience then me went for!

    Regards budget, I would like to keep it sub $200 (£140 being a Brit).

    P.s

    While I'm asking this, I may as well ask if anyone has recommendations for other upgrade, I have plans for replacing the lenses and adding a air assist from lightobject (they seem highly recommended) and replacing the bed for adjustable honeycomb.

    Are there any after-market air assists for the K40 that alow for adjusting the focal length via the laser head, rather then the bed? I cant see my self needing to adjust focal length more then about 1/2 an inch as I only really plan to cut/etch material with a max 1/2" thickness, so having adjustment on the head rather then the bed could save some work.

    I printed my air assits on the 3D printer but if you like open source have a look at my K40 project on Instructables.
