During the workshops of the 3d printer, the following idea came up..... Wouldn't it be cool to build our own lasercutter?
And so it begun.... A small task force was formed, and User: webspider, User: hobbybob and User: mro went off to take a serious look around. The result is documented below: A search for design, components, suppliers and many evenings socializing.
The reports of various meetings can be found under Lasercutter_meetings, as we explain below wherever possible designs.
Meetings == ==
Because the people who want to go create the laser cutter also have other issues on their agenda, as we join forces at Bitlair whenever we can. To avoid duplication of discussions we store the notes of the on Meetings !
Principles == ==
The current principles are:
- Safety first. Nothing happen unless we're pretty sure palce not cost anyone a limb or life. These lasers are not toys, and we're not going to treat it as such
- We will use the buildlog.net project as a guide. Why reinvent the wheel if someone already driving a car?
- There is room for up to five construction sites. This number we keep deliberately low, to ensure that you keep a close-knit group, and that will easily meet.
- We share our successes, failures, and of course all the source code, drawings, etc, where they do not yet have.
- Budget we try to keep below EUR2500

Planning
De planning kent enkele hoofdpunten, iets wat sommigen dan weer graag kilometerpalen noemen en indien er een ander matenstelsel van toepassing is, zijn het ineens mijlpalen geworden.
- Frame: Ontwerp, bouwen
- X/Y tafel en electronica: Ontwerp, bouwen
- Support systemen zoals afzuiging, koeling, etc
- HV PSU en Lasertube
Op dit moment is het actuele onderwerp het ontwerp van het frame, en wordt er georienteerd op de X/Y tafel en electronica.

18-07 Cutter nr 2
Iedereen aan een kant van het frame aandachtig aan het werk.
Mishmash wil niet op de foto. MRO werkt onverstoorbaar door.
Mooie hoekprofieltjes
Steuntjes monteren voor een dwarsbalk
Twee frames op elkaar (misschien komen er wel kleine cuttertjes uit, je weet het nooit).
15-7 LAOS bordjes solderen
MishMash in action
Zo Laos bordjes gesoldeerd
11-7 Eerste frame (tijdelijk) in elkaar zetten
First parts arrived
Overleg, wat gaan we doen ? 1 Cutter bouwen of meteen 5 ?
Het besluit valt om eerst 5 pakketjes onderdelen te maken voor iedere cutter.
Nadat blijkt dat we wat parts missen besluiten we om 1 heel frame af te bouwen.
Mmh we missen wat part's, das niet erg dan maar praxis hoekjes passend maken
Even kijken of dit extrusion profiel wel recht is....
En de eerste zijkant is af...
... vervolgens verbinden we de 2 zijkanten met een 175cm lang extrusie profiel.
We lachen wat af tijdens het bouwen, is toch wel ongelooflijk gezellig zo samen bouwen!
Wat een eind is dat... ongelooflijk 180x94x31cm ongeveer zijn de afmetingen.
Zaten er nou 2 t-nuts aan de voorkant van dat profiel of 3 ? Even nakijken op de tekening.
Even de deksel testen. Een deksel van 152x80cm ;-)
Zo kijk ze staan dan, de trotse bouwers van het eerste frame.
En nu even opruimen, dus hij moet naar zolder. Zou het passen ?
Nou we zijn in ieder geval in de gang. Nu de draai maken de trap op.
Nope... trapgat says NO! Dus buitenom via een bovenraampje maar naar zolder dan.
