    Building a Laser / Spindle Engraving Machine very challenging

    I have been trying to build this engraving machine for last few months it has very challenging to get the part together

    I had bought a very small engraving machine a few years and it sat in the box it came in because I could not find a reasonable priced laser controller and the same thing about the the motor controller ( plus the table was to small for what I want to do with it )

    I have some challenges about the machine controller as well because I want an offline function so I can run the project with out having a computer hooked to machine controller

    The other problem when I bought this engraving machine was to find a company in USA that sold the “ V-Slot Linear Rail ” which was not available back then only from China and shipping cost was very high and the cost of rail was a lot more money back then

    Here is a picture of the hardware part of the engraving machine the controller board and it hardware is not on machine right now because of an issue with the seller of this controller

    The table is not quite finished either because I ran out of the V-Slot Linear Rail for table and the top rail and the second top rail

    ( I have had to modify the design because of issues with the stepper motor mount and the lead screw mounting I had change the measurements so things would fit together and work together correctly )

    I have to order more rail this week and hopefully the seller of the offline version of this controller and I can come to some type of agreement how to solve this issue ( the issue is talked about in another post )

        Modifying a Engraving Laser Module with out a TTL Module
        by sam_sam_sam
        I bought this laser module a few years ago and did not do anything with because I did not have a TTL module so it sat in project box to do something with at a later date

        Well the later date has happened now

        What I did to this module is disconnected the cooling fan and going to use with a fan temperature speed controller ( out of a surplus computer switching power supply )

        Well now I have found a 15 watt TTL module that I just bought from AliExpress which I should have in a few weeks

        Some time later when I have learned to use a laser engraver...

        Arduino Nano Controller with a 15 watt Laser hook up issues
        by sam_sam_sam
        This project that I am working on the Engraving Machine has been a challenge to make everything to work together

        The information on the internet is hit and miss for the most part
        It is a good thing that I know how and what it takes to hook up most micro controllers yes each model is a little bit different but for the most part they are the same

        The BIGGEST problem has been the markings on these Arduino Nano Controller boards not all are the same some board are marked better than others

        You see how I have to hook up the laser and Nano Controller...

        Janome DC3050 Sewing Machine Pedal Resistance
        by CG2
        OK, this is a long shot. I got this sewing machine cheap because it's end of line, ex-display, and had no pedal. The genuine pedal costs £60, while Ebay knock-offs go for around £15. So I went for the knock-off, it doesn't work, and I'm not sure whether it's the pedal or the sewing machine that has the problem.

        Now this is an electronic machine, unlike the old fashioned sort where the pedal was a big resistor in series with the power to the motor. Here, the pedal is just (I think) a variable resistor fed with a 5 volt supply, and limited to a current of 5 milliamps. Assuming that...

        Samsug washing machine. Power supply DC41-00189a board issue
        by Soulzink
        Hi everyone,

        I am trying to fix a samsung washinmachine power supply main board.
        I already replaced it with another one to fix the machine but i want to try understand the issue with the old board.
        Therefore i hope to be able to get some help to explain what to check in order to troubleshoot.
        The power supply board reference is the following: DC41-00189a
        I have followed one thread (https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ingmachine-rel...
