During its lifespan we learned that the K40 Laser Power Supply could not provide enough current to power it and that this was causing lots of dropouts and job interruptions. Originally there was the Cohesion3D Mini board. Then they bundled some no name PSU and increased the price by $50. The all-new Cohesion3D LaserBoard.I'd like to provide some clarification on the points that /u/inu-no-policemen commented:Ĭohesion3D's controller used to cost $150. Liberate your Laser Cutter to use better software, variable power for full grayscale engraving, and Z Table/ Rotary capability. LaserBoard + LightBurn Software Cohesion3D Cohesion3D LaserBoard - Cohesion3DĬohesion3D LaserBoard is back in stock! Orders ship in 2-3 business days! We would recommend getting the following parts: You will need to configure the board for your particular machine to tell it things like the size of your machine, the steps per mm, homing switch location, speeds... Other people have done this, but not sure how documented these values are. From Retina Engrave I have HELP>DOWNLOAD CONFIG FILE but when I click that RE just closes on me. I am not clear on how to retrieve this information specific to the Hobby laser. I have seen some post where people talk about screenshoting the existing config information to move that over to Laserboard install. For me the the configuration process seems the most intimidating. I am new to lasers and my FSL card needs replaced. Is this available to purchase or do I need to source elsewhere? This is all related to my business and I am hoping to get everything I need in one shot and not get hung up because I didnt order correctly. do they need to be replaced with mechanical switches?ġ20 Ohms resisters are mentioned in the “write up” post. Micro switch:The Hobby has 4 wire inductive limiters on it already. The external stepper drive cables: Is this just to have the connectors to splice into my steppers so that it plugs into the board?Ĭonnector pack: Just one connector pack or will I need additional?
It was also recommended that the OP buy a connector pack and limiter micro switch. I searched and came up with a list of what I would need but wanted to confirm
Looking to purchase the Laserboard and retro it into my 5th Gen Hobby laser.
