In this episode, we will be we will be looking what you will need to cut thick ( Polyethylene - Fastcap Kaizen) foam with the Ortur Laster Master II (see more here: ). The Ortur Laser Master II with its large size is great for making Kaizen tool cut outs using FastCap style foam (see more here: amzn.to/37EcY0V ). So if your a maker you need one of these to start organizing your shop today!
One of the important things to note is the G8 lens is a very important piece in making cuts to thicker materials because of its long focal length. It will produce a narrower kerf over a greater distance.

Thinking the next few foam cutting episodes could push me over the line, and get me one of these lasers ;)

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

The large cut area is why I bought this and to make Kaizen cuts and it has not disappointed...

@StanCook 3 года назад

Thanks JOe, I am looking forward to learning more as soon as my machine gets here by the guy that is swimming with it from China. Ordered Aug 30th. Expected sometime next month.

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

Stan good to hear from you! Hopefull this fall will get time to get the DMR setup working again so we can chew the rag! This laser has been a lot of fun!

@jim.c6780 3 года назад

Great job 👍 cutting foam would be useful 👍

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

This has been super handy so watch for more!

@WaschyNumber1 2 года назад

Cool, that I wanted to know the hole time, if it can cut propper Foam 😊. Thank You very much 👍

@lexispapi Год назад

I can’t wrap my head around focusing for the middle. How’s that done?

@JJB123NC Год назад

Love the video. super informative. A few questions: What watt diode laser were you using? (10w or 20w) Have you/Can you do similar testing on EVA foam? (in a similar thickness) Thx!

@michaelguidry6893 3 года назад

Your videos are SO informative, clear, concise and to the point, thank you for posting them. Do you have any information on making an enclosure and where to buy appropriate plexiglass for a window? I’m waiting for my Ortur 20 watt laser to arrive and continue to prepare for it by learning from you. Thank you.

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

Look for something like this in the next month as I am just trying to find the time.

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

Also thanks for the kind comments!

@michaelguidry6893 3 года назад

@@DIY3DTECHcom you’re welcome, thank you. The G8 lens you also recommended, I checked the link and it’s on eBay for about 20.00, does that sound right? And do you sell the mount for that as well as the air nozzle mount? I don’t have a 3D printer to be able to make myself. I would be happy to purchase them from you.

The link for the G8 Laser Lens doesnt work anymore :(

This openning is far better than the one with computer generated female voice!!

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

No body like her :-(

@xSensu 3 года назад

Loving the videos. Would you recommend the g8 lens upgrade for the ortur 20w?

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

G8 is a must have for any diode laser as its depth of focus is so deep it is a must for cutting thicker objects such as foam or even cardboard.

@DK-dp5gz 2 года назад

What Power did you use?

@electronron1 3 года назад

Thanks for another informative video. Have you tried cutting the craft foam such as the kind sold a Michael's and Hobby Lobby? Never mind I just found the video you did on craft foam, thanks.

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

:-)

@lexispapi 3 года назад

Can you cut insulation foam from Home Depot aka pink diorama foam? Thanks.

@FUBARguy107 3 года назад

Bless you once again. My laser arrives on HALLOWEEN!! OMG I am so excited! What kind of air pump is good for air assist? I have a nozzle from a 3D Maker on Etsy. It is very sturdy. I am quite happy with the construction. I already have plenty of medical hose from other projects. But I would like to pick up an adequate air pusher before i get started.

@DIY3DTECHcom 3 года назад

I use this amzn.to/3iZ5nfU however your could also use something like this too: amzn.to/3mrpoxo which would make less noise
