Metal Parts for Laser 2.X (.dxf files)
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2016 5:08 pmHey Laser Community,
In case anyone would like to source their own plates, here are the flat plate layouts for the laser 2.x that I made from the model a few years back.
*****IMPORTANT******It is very important to use 5052 grade aluminum for the plates with bends. The flat plates can be 6061 grade. All plates are 1/8" thick in design.
I preferred to water jet the ones I made, but a laser should also work the same.
You will also need:
1. PEMS (I used selfclinchdirect.com which can be pricey in small quantities due to shipping)
2x----TR-SOS-440-12
3x----TR-CLS-632-2
4x----TR-AC-0420-2
2. Way to bend the plates (brake press is preferred)
3. Way to press in the PEMS (hydraulic press is preferred)
Thanks,
Rich
