LaserUser.com Forum (formerly RDWorksLab)

Hi Everyone,

I have started my journey into the laser world from a slightly different angle and decided to design and build my own using the "better parts" available from China. I stumbled across the RDworks learning lab, UTube videos Russ has been pumping out and these have been a Godsend. I must confess to binge watching and these have required me to redesign several section of my laser machine.

I'm at the parts ordering stage now and its getting exciting

Some info about myself. I'm a Mechanical and Plastic Engineer with a machine design background and heavily into 3D design and a very passionate user of IronCAD 3D design software.

I'm sure this forum will be another source of information as I kick start my laser machine into life.

Regards

Shane T

Nice CAD work is that a modded version of the Y1200 (1200x600) ? If you have an interest then start a build log here viewforum.php?f=159 I am making the space to build a Y1200 based design this year (in my spare time) with some tweaks.

Welcome Shane- let us know if we can help in any way with your build. I would also encourage you to document your build for the benefit of others.
There is a ton[ne] of experience here with what does and does not work, large machines are more different than small machines than I would have thought for instance. Gene
