Comgrow 5 Watt Laser Engraver
I built a DIY Laser. Unable to to an Larger one already build. I also own a K40.The 5 watt laser has a lot more power and is much Nicer and Larger than the previous one I owned from Comgrow as you can see in the pic. It came with Safety glasses and the mount and wires to hook up to many different printers. But I bought it for my DIY Project Laser. I run Lightburn and it worked great, It sits very close to my work and with the protective shield around laser is very nice. Always wear safety glasses when using a laser and never leave un attended. The control board I have it hooked up to failed after test printing with it all day. I hooked up the smaller, older laser once this happened which worked fine before and it also would not test fire. So I need to buy a better control board for it. This 5 watt laser has a Cooling fan mounted on top of the laser to keep it cool and is fixed focused. Your focal length needs to be 22 mm from your work. So from the top of the red acrylic to my work I have a small piece of plastic to get the correct distance. In the past I was never able to get there software to work correctly with my Ender 3, maybe its different now, I don't know. But as I said about I use Lightburn and this 5 watt laser is mounted on my DIY Laser Project and seems to work fine. I have a Group and Channel called 3DHP. I will have a video put up soon on this Laser. I hope this might of helped some of you wondering about this laser head. Oh, also it you hook this up to a 3d printer, they have included a plug that is a Y to hook up to fan port and with between plugs outside of printer, so no need to open up control box over and over to switch over. I would recommend this laser for a DIY Project and Buy Lightburn to go along with it.
