The joint fits together really great. Did you have to account for the Kerf (wood removed by the laser)? If it is that tight without accounting for the kerf, that is awesome. Thanks Patrick!

How the price of this device to the dollar

Hi Patrick,
I love your video! Laser application such as marquetry and wood inlays are rare on youtube, so may I reach out to your viewers of this remarkable software to create Marquetry and Inlays using a laser? Please don't delete this, it is very fun and informative video.

Awesome Video... Thanks a bunch... alot of videos on laser cutters but never really any details, so thank you for the details... using similar setup :)
I'm subscribed for sure...
If you have the time, please upload a video on how you wired the stuff to the Laser PSU TTL etc. thats what I'm missing atm... -
Sir can you upload the process when you made a design with autocad? I'm very confused with the design enclosure box.
-
where i can buy the Laser Cutter?
-
If you blow Argon gas on that cut it may not burn as well.
-
I am surprised to see that there is still no automatic design tool that generates finger joints.
-
If you would mask your wood before engraving it would not leave the ash on the sides. The cuts will still be charred in between.

what meterial is this
-
What kind of wood is this, and where can I source it?

Do you have a chinese laser machine that uses MoshiDraw? If so, to use Mach3 you would have to gut the controller in the machine, add a breakout board like a C10 breakoutboard, then add two (x and y) or three stepper drivers (for Z) then re-wire the machine to work with those electronics. 24V would work fine. From there, you would need to find a CAM software, the one used in the Video (CamBam) is great. You also need to create a custom post processor to include code to tell when the Laser is on.

hello, I have a 40w laser machine, do you know if any of this softwares works with it?

I was looking for a simple way to use solidworks to break a cube into castellated edged flat pieces. I was surprised to see your face pop up as a result of my search. Yea! Your face is out there! -Dave

there is an inkscape extension which might have saved you quite a bit of autocad time here (comments wont let me put in a link?) It works really well. You can export to dxf from inkscape and take that right into cambam.

We have a laser cutter at school, but I am told it cannot cut through wood, because it will set fire to it. How come the wood here doesn't catch alight (Although there are some considerable burn marks) ?

Hey Pat, what music is this? Type of music or song name?
-
This would require the cam software to provide these m codes to appear at the correct places in the g-code file. The z-axis direction is automatically positioned at the correct places where the laser needs to turn off and on.
-
I was reading about the use of the spindle and G-code. A better option would be to connect the laser to spindle port and use the M3, M4 to init the spindle and M5 to stop, and release the z axis. who think about this?
Quick tutorial on creating a 3D object with CAD software, CAM software, CNC control software, and a Laser Cutter. This is for laser cutters that operate using g-code. This is a simple example of how to make a 3D object. If you want simple boxes, there are many parametric box creation tools out there. We are using AutoCAD, CamBam, and Mach3 software, along with the blackTooth Laser Cutter/Engraver Kit from www.BuildYourCNC.com, but you can use whichever software and hardware you have available to get the job done...
