For Austin
Hey gang - Here's a few photos of the gift I put together for Austin. It's a leather case for Fieldnotes brand notebooks. These have been a big hit with my family and friends and I thought of no better way for Austin to help gather his thoughts, remember things or jot down his feelings. Thanks again...

Re: One of a kind CO2 accessory case!
Looking good Rich. I did a pretty intense build on my K40. I posted a few photos in the CO2 thread and will be putting together a better post showing what I did. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

Re: stepper motor
I found this information on an older, yet still relevant forum called Don's Laser Things. Hopefully this helps point you in a good direction.

K40 Mini Build/Upgrades
Greetings CO2 laser users - I thought I'd share a few photos of my almost-completed K40 Mini laser build. It was tough-going when I first got this machine, but I have gone through the entire machine and made it into a useful, and quite eye-pleasing tool. I did all of the usual upgrades straight away...

Re: K40 Performance Change
Hi Chris ... my bad for not responding much sooner, but after closer inspection it seemed the coating on the stock k40 lens was flaking. No amount of cleaning seemed to get rid of the residue on the lens. Replacing it was much easier and proved to fix my issue. I'm going to be replacing all of the m...

Re: K40 Performance Change
Hi all - After hours of tinkering I discovered that this was caused by a failed lens. I replaced the lens and I'm back in the game. Optics apparently play a crucial role in your final product. Lesson learned ... and passed on.
Cheers!
Cheers!

K40 Performance Change
Hi folks - After weeks of performing various alignment procedures I had finally achieved perfection and thought I was ready to start using my K40. I'm at a loss to what's causing my cuts and etchings to suddenly be so horrible. image1.jpg The above image shows how well my K40 was working. This photo...

Re: *LASER SAFETY WARNINGS*
Hi Rich - Thank you for putting all of this together. I'm new to lasers and have been in "setup" mode for a number of weeks now and I would probably say that this is the time where safe laser operations are probably at their most lax. Making modifications, test firing for proper alignment ...
