CO2 Lazer (40w) Modification

This was one of my best and proudest project’s ever. I had bought a Chinese 40w CO2 Laser about 2 years ago and I was not happy with the cutting space of this small machine.

After I learned how the whole CO2 thing works first I upgrade my laser board with Cohesion3d board and I change in to smoothieware firmware and after that to Grbl-LPC … And I never looked back.

Right after that I decided to go big…

From stock 200x200mm cutting space I managed to maximize the cutting area to 300x600mm.

After i finish with the built and I’ve tried as good as possible to documented the whole thing i have upload the stl. files and the BOM in Grabcad and my project even manage to get in to the Hackaday blog !

Here Are Some Pictures Of The Build:
