My best affordable diode laser with DIY enclosure 2024 NEJE Max 4 cheaper than you think

Finally I have some time to built the enclosure for my LaserPecker 4 and then may as well start my next laser engraver project. The Neje Max 4 IMO is the best laser for the buck with a lot of feature which only available with more expensive machine. All in total I spend around £750 which £150 when toward my air compressor which powers the air assist as well as my nailer, duster, sprayer .......

I learnt a lot from building the Neje Max 4 and it did not disappoint, changing the Z height without touching the machine is a game changer for me. The linear rail has always been on my wish list since the experience with wobble laser head with belt and wheels....

This video is not sponsored by NEJE but a big thank you to Great Carve for sending me the unique Laser material pack to test the machine with.

Hello! Do you have a sheet for the enclosure, or a 3D model? I wan't to build one myself and I like yours! Didn't saw any specific video for it after this one

[pancerny]

why to complicate if them screews can be bought longer, and just installed so will be easier to grab?

If you want to do incremental cutting, create sub layers and set the Z setting for each. Also the tool holder is 50 mm, put it on work piece lower the laser in the slide. lower the laser 25 mm or set Z offset to 25 mm. or if you want it 4 mm in 29 mm, for the next sub layer set it to 31 next 35 and so forth. of coarse you only have 25 mm of play. So effectively you can only offset that (24-24.5) So total of 8 sublayers, alternating between 4 and 2 mm. totla of 4 each.
