Hello and greetings from Oz down under

[Anthony Halley]

I realise that the forum appears to be mostly Ruida controller based but looking at the content I thought I may have something to contribute as a nominal 'outsider'.
I have a Flux Beambox Pro that has a 50W tube and uses proprietary software - not Lightburn.
I am 80 years old and still practice in my own electrical engineering consultancy business.
I have used a Stepcraft CNC but now mainly use the Beambox Pro for acrylic/slate and developing some templates I use with my router.
The Beambox is fitted with a CW-5000 refrigerated chiller that works fine in our hot Australian summer. It is also fitted with a 100mm axial extractor fed from the extractor fan fitted to the Beambox - I have upgraded the nozzle air-assist to a larger 240v unit that is controlled via a relay connected to the original wiring.
I have also fitted a small 12vDC "kicker fan" that can be switched on if I need to assist smoke/fumes toward the vents at the rear.
I have a CO2 extinguisher that I am contemplating being automatically started to enable 'drenching' the interior in case of a severe flareup.

Hopefully that may generate some discussion .... T

Welcome Anthony - have fun!

Hi Anthony,

I've had a little experience with the Flux systems, they look nice but best you get yourself a spare camera cable as they easily break.
