Join me as I delve into the Monport 80W autofocus CO2 Laser. In this video, I take you through the uncrating, measurments, and my initial impressions of this machine.
Rejoining the 3D Printing World
After stepping away from the world of 3D printing, I've returned to find incredible advancements in technology! Join me as I unbox and set up the Bambu P1S 3D printer, complete with the AMS (Automatic Material Switching) system. Watch as I explore the features, share my initial thoughts, and print my first model in years.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I walk you through the entire process of replacing the original LongMill MK1 controller with the compact and feature-packed Super LongBoard from Sienci Labs.
Dive into the world of CNC with the Raspberry Pi 5 (8 GB) as we evaluate its compatibility with popular G-Code senders. Discover the installation process and potential of LinuxCNC, G-Sender, UGS, and CNCjs on this new hardware. Learn why the Raspberry Pi 5, with its 64-bit OS, might change the way you manage your CNC operations.
Pixel CNC Review & Simple Import Project. What is it? How much does it cost? Lets make a project! & Who is this for?
In our simple project we will be importing a Grey Scaled Raster Image and A Vector File to do a relief carve & cut out.
Convert your photos into Wavy Halftone Lines for fun Wall Art. You will need something like Gimp and or Inkscape to prep the image.
While this CAM software may not have a flashy GUI, it sure does give you a lot of control of your CNC Machine. While not free you can try it out for as long as you like, just it takes longer, and longer to export your gcode.
CNC UPGRADE
Going from a 3018 to a Longmill was a Big change in the scale of projects I could do. Join me in going over what upgrading did for me.
I got a CO2 Laser
Was it worth it to add a CO2 Laser to my shop? What is a CO2 Laser. We disscuss that in this video.
How to install CNCjs on a Raspberry Pi 4. From flashing the OS to setting up the Pi.
Making a NEON Flex LED SIGN. Design, Coding, CNC, and more.
Have you ever wanted to maks an LED Edge Lit Sign using an Arduino Micro Pro Base and Potentiometer. We will go over the wiring schematics, the basic logic of the main loop, and will do a brief dive into the code.
Even though we are specifically designing for Valentines Day in this video, you can use this method for any theme. We will create a custom Rose Art Brush and have it follow the path of our vector heart. We have tips and tricks to make it look just right and we will expand the image so we can import it into our CAM Software.
Acrylic on the Longmill
Join us as we go over cutting cast acrylic on the Longmill. Even if you do not have a Longmill you can follow along for other tips and tricks for cutting acrylic.
