Accessories: I have a combining lenses, pin tables [homebuilt], honeycomb tables , wireless remote, Modifed Ultimate Air Assist, home built non-powered rotary device, PrusaMK4 and Mini Prusa printers.

I have thought about this mod for a long time and I am rewiring the control panel on the new laser, so now is the time.

The problem: some old phart forgets to turn the Air Assist on [or off] in the layers and then starts cutting/engraving a file- I have an indicator light on my panel that shows if Air Assist is on or off and slap my forehead yet again...

My solution- add two switches by the indicator light- one turns Air Assist on if it is off, and one turns it off if it is on.

Easy peezy lemon squeezy:
