Показать описание
Doing a quick test and review of the Ortur enclosure for the LM3 that I was sent. The enclosure is 700x720x370mm and has some pretty cool technical features. These features integrate with the LM3 to allow activation of the light and fan with lightburn.

MACRO COMMANDS
Light on- m12
Light off- m13
Fan on- m14
Fan off- m15

Excellent tip as usual :) You can however improve on it by adding your commands/macros to the "Device Settings" - "Gcode" and the Start and End Gcode" which is called on job-start and end. That way you can automagically turn on or off the light and fan when each job starts 😀

Just curious, I hear you mention light escaping from around various enclosures. Is that escaping light actually harmful to your eyes? I would not think the light itself would be harmful unless you are looking into the light beam itself.

it is actually using (sending) gcode to the controller unit. with Lightburn you can edit gcode startup to include the gcode to turn on the fan and turn off/on the light at the start of all gcode processing. I would imagine you cold add a post code to turn off the fan at the end of your operation - but I would advise against that because the fan is continuing to cool down the laser module after completing the project.

Wow, this could be great to drive air assist and a larger exhaust fan. Where are the connection points on the LM 3 harness? Contacts or voltage outputs?...lots of questions. Will you be following up with an air assist modification? Thanks for the video!

What if I don't have a Ortur laser and want to use the fan and light. How much voltage do they use?
