I'm finally starting my Laser 2.x build to replace my modified K40. I'm build a fairly stock 2.x, just extending the X axis by 40mm so I can fit a full 12x24 acrylic sheet in the cutting area. Placed all my orders last week and the majority of the parts are here.
Electronics - LightObjcects DSP (608)
Laser Tube - 40W from K40
Optics - Optics from K40
My McMaser Carr, Maker Slide Store, Inventibles, Stock Driver and Misumi orders are here. Unfortunately econobelt parts are on back order. Tonight I assembled to majority of the frame. I just need to cut my makerslide to size to complete it, but it's to late tonight to fire up the miter saw. I'll hopefully finish the frame tomorrow.
I still have to find/order cable carrier and skin material. I have access to a 4x8 shopbot and I hope to find a suitable skin from a local supplier. Need to call kabelschlep tomorrow as I can't find any distributors who list their parts online.
