This is extremely helpful. I’ll be doing the lighting soon, and eventually the air assist.

@ 3:54 I just love how you switched character to Kermit the Frog 🤣🤣🤣

Great video! Subscribed and will look forward to more laser related vids. Thanks

Just a suggestion if you want to every upgrade your upgrade....
Try putting your exhaust fan as close to the end as the exhaust hose as possible. Inline fans pull air much more efficiently than pushing it. Plus if you ever someway get a tiny hole in the line the fan just pulls in a tiny amount of fresh air vs pushing a small amount of smoke out of the hole on the positive pressure side.

I didn't even know that the camera was a optional upgrade I just assumed it was a standard and a machine had it or didn't

Hi MSR Workshop, what is the exactly height when unscrew the 4 screws from bottom from laser body only? With screws he should have 94cm according to your description on Omtech website. Thanks for help me!!!! Best regards, Armin

[jamessepulveda]

would you say that the laser lens like a cloudray would be an upgrade necessity also? seen a few videos where the laser red dot was not as sharp and round

[CreativeCustomDesigns]

We are looking at getting a larger laser, and hoping to get it in our basement. One question we have about an 80W . Have you done much cutting with this machine? And how thick will it go? We are hoping to cut 3/8" Baltic Birch.

What gauge wire did you use for the aur assist solenoid, im about to order this and do upgrades to my 80w omtech

[LKaz]

Hello, I am thinking about getting one of these. I understand the exhaust but, because of my ignorance, I have no idea what the upgraded air assist does and why the built in one is inadequate. Can you help me understand?

[robertwinters]

Does the Inline duct fan electrically connect to the laser or do you have to turn the fan on separately from the laser? I would assume running a small 24V relay that would control the AC to the fan but I did not see that step.

Did you add a limiter/compressor to your mic? :)

Hey I am planning to buy a new Omtech Co2 and wanted your suggestion if 60W is better or 80W vs 150W my purpose is to where I can perform good quality engraving and also have capability to cut materials. I dont have any experience with co2 laser and I have heard mix things like to go bigger 150W vs 60W / 80W. I know the bed is way bigger for 150W but wanted your opinion on it thanks

[duttsky]

How did you get the wire connect into the fan out? I have 80w and it’s wired into the center of the fan.

[jalayneacooper]

Did you remove the tape from the wires that were wrapped together?

[waltersowers]

OMG...RIP control board. Use some rectifier diodes on the air solenoids if you're not gonna use a relay on them. One bad feedback and that 24v will fry the control board for your Ruida.

[MyLifeAsMitch]

Great video. I find it "troubling" that you spend thousands on a brand new laser, and you have to upgrade it, in order to use it to it's max. potential.

[jalayneacooper]

Do you have updated links for the les strip lighting, camera and camera mount?

[myhoneyshandmade]

Any regrets? I am thinking of buying this model.

[onerandomvoice]

Just FYI most of the links dont work, they are all cut short is looks like :)

[langecraft]

Dude, your volume control is broken, you keep going from zero volume or slightly above then blast me out full volume. Just for that, I'm giving you a thumbs down. See Ya.
