Just picked up a 500x700 blk/red with Ruida RDC6442G.

Looking to learn / share / upgrade.
Things I'd like to add / modify in order of priority:
Buy S&A 5200 Chiller.
Buy Rotary attachment.
Longer tube or cone for lens to allow pass thru with Z-Bed.
Add stepper motor to Z-axis bed.
Add auto-focus

Add laser / red-dot combiner mirror.

Thanks,
Cad

Welcome Cad- a 5000 chiller has worked fine for my 130w for 4-5 years, we did a 3.5 hour engrave a couple weeks ago and the temp never budged. Auto focus has never been that useful to me, with a remote and power Z axis you can set the focus faster/better by hand, I do love the reddot combiner I got from LightObject tho- very accurate. I have plans to build a 20x20mm alum extrusion version of Russ' unpowered rotary if you like to build stuff yourself- PM me your email. Gene
