All the sources I know of are not concerned about dendrites, as much as what actual magic have the found to get these specs. The nature of being solid state mitigates dendrites as I understand. I remain hopefully optimistic they found figured something out that is real. We only have about 2 more...

All good, it is the pulse width modulation pin. You can just plug it into the relay. Basically its the pin that tells the laser how much power to use. In our case this is used as a trigger for the plasma cutter. In lightburn when we set the laser power to 100% it drives this pin to its highest...

What ya mean?

Use lighburn, it has both the kerf width in the advanced settings, as well as lead in and lead out. You decide on angle and length. I used it for the cuts. The one thing you have to make sure is you set peirce delay which you can see in the test images i was playing with . On 1/8" 1750 mm/s , .6...

Should work, make sure its a blowback, pilot arc and non high frequency and you will have no issues.

Yea for sure, here ya go. Basically from the laser just power it on, then on the connector find the 12v pin, the middle will be ground and the last outside one will be PWM.

Some pics of cuts and such..

I needed to have some metal parts cut for a project and was tossing around the idea of sendcutsend, or trying out a plasma cutter. Exploring the plasma cutter route, my buddy and I noticed small plasma tables looked really close to 3d printers / laser cutters. With that idea in my head I decided...

Since @Ohio Andy bumped a super old thread thought it might be good to revisit this idea now its almost 2025.. ;) Mobaxterm -- Still amazing even after all these years I use it every day Has basically every tool you can think of, network scanner, ftp, sftp servers, and a ton more.. Vscode --...

I can grab the blade motor specs, but would suggest using something different that was one of the pain points in the entire system i built. There are now much better blade motors you can buy with controllers which at the time was not available.

Year 5 update, looks great still no problems.

The ryobi mower has a lead acid battery, I would suggest making sure whatever you buy is lithium it will age batter and has zero maintenance.

Hey, just saw your reply going to send you a private message.

Thanks everyone, the number of acronyms for wire is literally insane and quite a lot to wrap my head around. Blows my mind there isnt some consolidation of the various wire types given the similarities. I also cannot get over the fact I can terminate the URD stuff on the outside of my house...

So it appears that the aluminum is ok, however the insulator is not fire rated so thats the problem? I am going to try to return the wire, think they are going to tell me to go to hell but who knows. Is this the correct wire? Can I burry it without PVC, and can I install it in the building...
