i use it from a week now this air assist from yours project and is perfect.the one without adjust. just one thing the lens adjust will not fit in but can adjust it with fingers so not a problem. it is very good idea.
I hadn't thought about it in years, but we developed laser ablation process at IBM back in the 80's that used helium blown over the part for debris removal. We had a ss tube with holes in it for the helium and on the other side was a vacuum pickup.
@@DIY3DTECHcom yeah we used M cylinders, doubled up with an auto switch over when one of them went below a cutoff pressure. That way you could change out the low cylinder without interrupting the process. The helium was used due to the size of the helium atom and the faster speed to sweep away debris if I remember correctly....30 years ago.....
another cool thing to add would be a protective "glass" in front of the laser beam like the new Atomstack A5 has. I'm curious to see your progress in air assist for these machines.
Interesting you say this, I am doing laser upgrade and it has a front glass as you mention. I don't fell its safe, so look for more this in the next month...
hi friend, i have a question, is your laser module the adjustable focus type? if so, does air assist pump really makes any improvement? thank you for your response
Just found your channel. Thanks for the good content, delivery, and length of your videos. I just received a new Atomstack laser which comes with a protective shield around the laser output. I also do not have a 3d printer. Suggestions?
Hello You Sade that your using an 6 bars compressor. But, then u told us that you dont use so much air to blow away the coal. So, my question is: how high or how much air is going throw the nuzzle? Or, how much air does it required? Have on compressor outdoor that can do up to 12 bar. Or can i do it with an air compressor for fish tank?
I use an air brush compressor, at 6PSI via 0.8mm nozzle no clue on the volume of the air just the pressure. Note I find a good balance going much higher runs the risk of blowing the work piece away or out of alignment.
this design has already been done and shared on thingiverse since july. its nearly exact down to the extruder nozzle minus the tube screw you added, would this then be a remix?
How is this connected to the air pump? I can't see the pump you're using in the link but think I've something similar. Is it simple insert or do I need a connector of some kind?
@@DIY3DTECHcomDid you do the connection video to the air pump, i am stuck at that point as well, is there some kind of special fitting needed to connect the clear tubing to the air compressor directly or a fitting to connect the air tubing to the threading tubing that came with the air compressor?
Check out my prior video on my evacuation system also see links in the description for what I use if your interested in learning more as it works well!
@@DIY3DTECHcom Cool. I've ordered the Ortur as I have found that using an existing RAMBo board (Prusa MKS3) with Marlin firmware does not allow full usage of my existing OptLaser Diode attachment. Basically the same 3D printer can not simply 'double' up as a laser engraver.
Very interesting ! Currently waiting shipping of my Ortur Master Laser II and already have what is needed for this air assist. Might as well be ready when it will be delivered. Slight problem, can't seem to find any link to download the model ?
