This video shows my custom approach to installing a water flow indicator. I made custom pieces to stop tube chaffing on the hole in the laser tube lid and to also help stop the tube from kinking.

Loving the channel. I'm already part of the Facebook group. Tried finding you on there. I'm just about to add the flow meter. Do you have the stl files for the 3d print parts. I think they're a brilliant idea. As I've been worried about the sharp edges on the soft tube. Big thumb up from me.

I don't see a link to where you purchased your digital display. I was looking for the temperature meter with the power supply as that would work fairly good for my application.

Yes, I agree 100%! I will be making a quick updated video this week. Just waiting on a few more parts for the 12x24 mod. I almost have all the parts! Then I will make detailed videos on the build.

hello, any reservations about putting this above the laser tube in case of leaks?

First off, thank you for the great videos. I find them very useful as I am embarking on many of the same mods. Also, I appreciate that you made the STL files available for the flow meter and tubes. Great idea! I downloaded the files and had them printed at treatstock. I ran into a small issue with the hole in the flow meter base. Apparently, my flow meter hole for the temp sensor is on the opposite side so that it won't sit flush in the base when the sensor is screwed in. I hate asking but Is there any way you could move the hole over so it is more centered between the long sides? I think 2 mm would give me enough room. I tried editing the STL file in Fusion but my skills are lacking.

Would be good to have a flow switch so if the water supply stops the laser also stops otherwise you risk it not flowing and the laser continuing causing damage to the laser tube.

Really enjoying your series and plan to do the same as you on several of your mods. I do have one question though. As related to Water Cooling, can you tell me if their is a recommended placement location for the water reservoir? Does it make any difference if the water reservoir level is above or below the laser level? I look forward to hearing your thoughts soon. Thank you.

It all depends on your pump. All pumps have a "head" height. The closer you have the water reservoir to the height of your laser, the less work your pump will have to do and the better the water flow. I currently have my 5 gallon reservoir under my K40 but, I live in Las Vegas and have my K40 in my garage. Even now the temps in my garage are getting above 20 degrees. I am going to switch out my pail for one of these www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8S1VNG and see how it goes. I will make a video on it. When I put this in I will put it so it is at the same height as the K40.

Aquarium silicone, let it cure for a least 24hrs before adding to system.

Where did you get the sensor, for monitoring the water temp out of the tube, shown @ 13:24 to 13:30?
@alpscraftshack599
@alpscraftshack599 Год назад
I do not believe the sensor you are talking about there (13:24 to 13:30) is for monitoring the water temperature. Some of the early K40 had an inline water flow sensor. When the Laser was powered up, if the Sensor did not detect water flowing, it would prevent the Laser from firing. I believe this is what that is.
