I was getting sick of the smoke from my laser cutter/engraving machine and I wanted to get it off the work bench and away from the excess dust in the shop. So I built this enclosure with lift, exhaust and lighting. As promised in the video, here are some links for good demonstrations of LED lighting:
• Small Custom Closet Bu...
• LED Lit Display Shelves
• Custom Built-In Illumi...
And here are some links to the parts, lift mechanism and fans I used:
Inline Duct Fan: a.co/d/gmVnrpm
Wheels: a.co/d/0GFsv2C
Switches: a.co/d/3UTkxks
Red Guarded Switch: a.co/d/dpIiOEt
Spring Hinges: a.co/d/h5zn4FE
Scissor Lift: a.co/d/9iHtbiu
Low Voltage Wire: a.co/d/ec8kdBb
LED lights: a.co/d/gXPApYI
LED connectors: a.co/d/1e5j02R
Everything else I got at Home Depot or 3D printed.

Hey it is cool to know you are an A&P. Bromotrifluoromethane halon 1301. Rather than use a dry chemical ABC type extinguisher there is another fire extinguishing agent that Cirrus aircraft developed because of the issues with halon 1301. I saw it for sale at Home Depot and like halon 1211 it can be used in enclosed spaces it is called prepared Hero Fire Spray. I thought I would pass that along! 😁🛫

Serious enclosure envy. Very cool!

Brilliant work, dude! Really well done! 😃 Those machines are amazing, but the smoke is pretty nasty... But that indeed solves the issue! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

From a distance, this looks like it could be used to make a mean BBQ brisket. 👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic! Best I managed was a big square box, and now I have enclosure envy. The lift was a great idea (thanks for the link to it). I just built mine extra tall, so I could put the legs on it when I needed to rotary something, but this is so much better and now I'm rethinking all my life choices. 😁 Great job!

@msiordie44 8 месяцев назад

You shouldnt be giving the fire such easy access to the enclosure.... Great build! Everytime I watch something on a laser or a CNC I want one. However I have very little use for one.

@cylong72 7 месяцев назад

As usual, awesome job. Love seeing your creations. Again, you make it look so easy…both the wood working and video editing. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

3 comments: #1, that scrap leather looks awfully familiar. 😂. #2, I still say you need copper safety wire on your red safety switch. 😂. #3, Always enjoy seeing your work; thanks for sharing!

I figured you’d recognize the leather!

@jewdd1989 8 месяцев назад

This is really neat! I don’t have one of these and probably won’t buy the concept is ingenious and could be applied for other things. I don’t get the electronics part like wiring and certainly 3D printing but it’s amazing and fun to watch! I’d love to see more detail on that part just because it’s fascinating. I’m on the building side of things but wiring is useful for any build involving tool storage and work surfaces. Look forward to more builds

@TheFalconJetDriver 8 месяцев назад

Wow very nice! Tha turned out great! Last week I built a camera holder for my Atomstack Camera, I was not impressed with the original mount it was to easy to bump and knock out of alignment. I made the mount to stratal my Longer Ray laser from the front to back out of 1/2 square 16 gauge tubing. I would not not use a laser without camera after getting it calibrated with Lightburn. I am weird that way. Just like I will never use a band saw without a brake. I like that lift too! 😁🛫

@anderslagerqvist2642 8 месяцев назад

Nice build, Made a similar build with the additon of opening slots on the sides for "long" objects. Which work for my laser that is elevated on the sides.

@catspawcustoms 8 месяцев назад

I strongly considered adding those, but I figured if I really need to do something big, I’ll use my second laser on a table or something for that. It would be a fairly rare occasion.

@anexoworkshop 7 месяцев назад

Great build! I'll try to replicate this once I buy my Sculpfun S30 Ultra. It has a 600x600mm work area so it's going to be a bit bigger than yours. Loved the concept, kudos from Brazil.

@eddiec1960 4 месяца назад

Great job. Talk about fate, I was just about to start making a cabinet for my laser engraver. Please could you point me to the file for the 2-way hinge. Many thanks.

@catspawcustoms 4 месяца назад

Sorry, that was something I personally designed and I think I lost the .stl on a computer I don’t have anymore.

@elcuriosopollo 4 месяца назад

Fantastic job. Is it possible to share the stl files for ventilation elements and hinges?

@gregorybernard6619 7 месяцев назад

Hello from a French handyman. Very nice video, explicit, and educational. Do you have the ability to share 3D files for ventilation? Thanks in advance. Sincerely Greg.

@catspawcustoms 7 месяцев назад

Sorry, not planning on sharing the print files

@facelessfan 8 месяцев назад

Very nice. Is it possible to add a stepper motor to the scissor lift?

@catspawcustoms 8 месяцев назад

I’m sure it could be done. There’s definitely room.

@kwaskwasny234 5 месяцев назад

Great build, can you write what type of plexi was used ? What is the best to reduce 450nm laser wave?

@catspawcustoms 5 месяцев назад

Mine was an off-cut from a custom metal shop that was building enclosures for welding combustion cases for jet engines, so I don’t have exact spec, but you can get what you need here: lasersafetyindustries.com/products/windows-acrylic-sheet-class-4-450?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2a6wBhCVARIsABPeH1v7fEHfZiqu95ARwkEO4GCEEEMAW9F64P1IP2qngrcL-iZ-Alg2wOkaAuY7EALw_wcB

@rikujkoivisto 6 месяцев назад

Hi! Thank you for very nice video!! Where from did you buy that welding plastic glass?? I can't find this glass anywhere..

@catspawcustoms 6 месяцев назад

I didn’t buy it, I know someone who worked at a custom metal fabrication company and gave me the off-cuts from the welding screens that they were making.

@radudobrescu5402 5 месяцев назад

Hi, nice work. From where do you buy that orange plexiglass? Thank you

@catspawcustoms 5 месяцев назад

@TammyAndTom 6 месяцев назад

Were the 3d printed hinges of your own design? or did you pick up the files from one of the 3d printing sites?

@catspawcustoms 6 месяцев назад

My own design, I designed every printed part on this one.

Would the camera work through orange acrylic?

Honestly no idea. I rarely use the camera.

Is there a place to buy certified laser safe plexiglass? Have a link if so?

@catspawcustoms 4 месяца назад

It’s in a few of the other comments.

@TheExtremeElementz 2 месяца назад

This is pretty amazing, super creative and came out excellent. This has to be the best home built enclosure I’ve personally ever seen done. Especially that acrylic bending trick, awesome. I do have a question since I don’t do wood working, why those types of nails instead of screws? I understand the ease of use but is it as strong or durable as a screw long term?

@catspawcustoms 2 месяца назад

@@TheExtremeElementz thanks. To answer, ease of use. The joints aren’t under tension or forces that will pull them apart anyway. Glue would have been enough. No sense in overbuilding, plus with 1/2” plywood, a thicker screw would have split it.

can you share me setting your light burn software because i cannot use it.. it keep have problem like origin not same with the machine and manay more

@catspawcustoms 8 месяцев назад

I’m not a lightburn expert. When I got the machine, I set it up in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wyo4g6N6aJE.htmlsi=-QMZ-6olFXGcUZ3j. I don’t know if that will help, but it is how I set it up and I’ve never had a problem. You might want to try the Atomstack community on Facebook, they are really responsive.

@jrutherford10 8 месяцев назад

Are those 3D printed vises? If so can you share model? If not, where did you get them?

Vises? I’m not sure which part you mean.

@jrutherford10 8 месяцев назад

Around the 5:35 minute mark, you have the box in a set of corner clamps/vises on your work bench. They look like they might be 3D printed but not sure. @@catspawcustoms
