I have this rigged up to a thrown together cnc machine with 4 steppers and 4 tb6600 stepper drivers hooked up to an arduino mega running with grbl and now with this 5W laser engraving module. I wish there were instructions or google searches with people who did this more but there are not. so here's some tips. I found if I put the dangly cable where the power is coming in from connected to the ground on the arduino and the + on the ttl/pwn thing on the right part it works, after doing the $32 enable laser mode on the grbl settings. then throw in some g-code generated from inkspace with some laser plugin (which puts the m3 and m5 gcode to turn on and off the laser module) in to g-code sender platform, it works very well. I engraved a bunch of phallic objects that I can't really add as another picture here due to it being inappropriate and just juvenile but, what other test subject matter is there than a few huge richards to laugh at. the after adjusting the focus a little it makes a very small ~0.5mm burn dot. I tried it on some wood planks I had laying around which made my garage smell wonderful from the burning wood.

works well. I don't understand why the colors are the way they are. I would have thought blue would be cold then green would be good and red would be hot but apparently green is cold and blue is the good temp. other than that it takes a second to install and works well.

Greg Partlow I can't imagine that this is a real question. perhaps you are training today?

I thought I was going to be in a world of hurt putting this together attempting to translate the translated instructions, but a key highlight with these instructions was little notes telling you what not to do and how to put things correctly to not mess them up. e.g. 'make sure the long side of the capacitor goes in this hole' the resistor either my multi-meter is terrible or the components values are slightly off, either or, there was some minor dependencies in the values the components stated they were. it fired right up though once all soldered in, though I need to watch a video on how to actually use it because just pushing buttons like the guys in videos doesn't work as easily as one would have thought.

I tested this connected to an 18v lithium ion battery block with good results. it heated up a screw within 10 seconds. this video shows a demonstration of the unit. https://youtu.be/zk7RPzUCk_E

Q: Is this laser a circular or square/rectangle beam? Thanks.

Asked by baxtred on 2018-06-19 04:46:50

Greg Partlow it's not square or completely circular. I'd say it's a cross between a square and rectangle. more of an oval type shape just under 1mm I'd say

Q: Is the focus point adjustable to be less than 1mm?

Asked by Lorenzo JB Saponetta on 2018-10-12 06:06:55

Greg Partlow it looks just under 1mm though. but it's sort of an oval type shape instead of a circle

Greg Partlow one thing to note, I had this connected to the original power supply that came with the unit. it did not engrave anodized aluminum this way. I connected the board up to the same power supply that drives the steppers which is a more consistent output and now I can engrave on to anodized aluminum at 300mm/m feed. here's a picture of the laser etching into an anodized aluminum business card https://i.imgur.com/cqiM2qj.jpg

every part was in a bag. it wasn't protected very well, though it finally came after a month on the slowest boat to navigate the world it came without injury. I need to stop buying these though. I have too many now.

after this I spiraled out of control. I played and played like a little child and got more and more like an overweight child. now I've used those skills and in about a month turned it in to this as of today. the arduino mega from this kit is in this video, but it's more being like a kid. https://youtu.be/S6ldxnSi8JU
