Cleaning the lens on A diode laser

My method for keeping my Atezr P20 running at peak performance. This method is very similar to the Atomstack A series machines as well. Most diode lasers require this type of cleaning periodically.

Excellent instruction. One note: Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol and water. On electronics devices 3d printers and lasers pure isopropyl alcohol or alcohol with low water content is preferred because it leaves no residue,

@TheClackShack Год назад

Yea, I understand. That is why I mention it in the video that other products are sometimes preferred. This is the method I use, No issues so far.

My pleasure!

I would agree with you on everything you said! Good sound advice! Especially on not spinning up the fan that is really tough on the bearings or bushings. My Father was a professional Photographer and when it came to cleaning lens Isopropyl alcohol was not his favorite to use because it evaporated relatively fast just leaving the dust particles globed to together. I think he may been concerned about alcohol attacking the sealer on the lens mount. That was 45 years ago. I too run my air assist when ever I am running the laser for the reason you do! I have also heard some people say that isopropyl alcohol was abrasive, I am not sure that true. Great video.😁🛫

I have good results so far.. Thanks

@mikej8180 Год назад

Another great video. What's a good reference to go by to know when to clean the module. Guessing I have close to 10 hours on my d1 20w now and getting some residue on the shield and nozzle. Thanks again for all your videos!!!

@TheClackShack Год назад

It varies with different materials, air assist settings and exhaust setups. I kinda just go by the dust on the fan and outside of the nozzle. Each part can get dirtier depending on materials. I just visually inspect it periodically.

@pietermulder9199 Год назад

Another good video there. I'm interested to see your nifty toolbox in this wherein the tools and earbuds are kept.

@TheClackShack Год назад

It was just a quick file to get them organized.

@MTZCustoms Год назад

Pretty good tips I like the skewer trick. I have a 20-watt xtool, could you recommended power / speed settings for a bamboo cutting board? I only have one so I can't test 😁

@TheClackShack Год назад

with the ones I use, 120mm/s at 100 % works well

@davekimbler2308 Год назад

How often do you clean yours ? I like your quick slide to remove your module ! How much air pressure do you use when cutting ? I have a 10W and a 5.5w and maybe ill move up to the big boys like you someday ! lol. I do need a more air tight enclosure . Id like something that cuts clear without breaking the budget !

@TheClackShack Год назад

I just watch it and when it looks dirty, I clean it. Too many variables to put a time on it. Some materials just make more of a mess than others. my regulator is set to 10 psi for heavy cutting. It varies with the materials. Enclosures don't have to be air tight, just keep negative pressure inside.

Love your videio and watch all of them. Question, I can't find an answer online. I have the Atezr p20. My protective lens gets burn marks on top side. The marks will not clean off. I replaced the lens and after the first burn, I get the marks again. They are kind of squares right in the center of the lens. Have you experianced this problem and is it a problem? Should I ignore it or what? Thanks Jim

@TheClackShack 7 месяцев назад

It needs replacing if the coating has been burned off. That is what it sounds like has happened. The burn will be a tiny rectangle in the middle. If it cleans off completely, it may just be some vapor

@struttertech212 Год назад

What air pressure are you typically running, I seem to get condensation on my lens a lot which requires constant cleaning (D1 Pro 20W) I have a drier after the shop compressor and another before the machine so it is good air going in. Thanks

@TheClackShack Год назад

The max on the regulator is set to 10 psi. I adjust the valve depending on the material and the burn I want.

@fabpx Год назад

Can you please guide where I can purchase extra lenses for the Atezr 36W module? Thank you!

Great video my lense looks clean, so I'm not sure why I'm having issues. If it's the module really can't afford that at the moment so that would suck for me lol😅

@TheClackShack 11 месяцев назад

Check focus, could be the lpi also

@MrBears1024 11 месяцев назад

@@TheClackShack interesting not sure how to do that but I'll Google it

@MrBears1024 11 месяцев назад

@@TheClackShack like I use the card provided to place in between material and laser not sure if there's another way though

@kgorshe2003 Год назад

do you need to purchase separately or does the x tool come with lightburn?

@TheClackShack Год назад

Lightburn is a separate product

@mrsdizi1234 2 месяца назад

question after I cleaned I noticed my lens looks like a amber color is that normal or should it be clear like glass?

@TheClackShack 2 месяца назад

Some lenses have a coating on them. Look for a chip or crack to tell if it is damaged. If it isn’t and is cutting ok, rock on.

@ClintonCaraway-CNC Год назад

"Laser lens cleaner" .... "Laser lens cleaning clothes".... wow some people will buy anything!!😂😂 I don't have a diode laser but I do have a 100watt Thunder Laser and it gets cleaned from top to bottom with L.A. Awesome and generic paper towels from the dollar store.

@TheClackShack Год назад

I use cheap alcohol and generic qtips. Some folks like the specialized stuff..
