Recently I have been wanting to start cutting thicker material with my laser cutter, but I knew I needed to get my air assist running to get the cut quality I wanted. I didn't have much free time so it kept getting put on the back burner. This is where Kevin from KitchenSinkElectronics comes in. He has been using my laser converter board and decided he was going to get the air assist feature on the newer version of boards up and running. He cleaned up my CamBam laser post processor and added the commands to run the air assist. Once I had his new post processor I decided it was time to do a quick tutorial on how to set everything up.
Thanks Kevin for all your work on the post processor. The new post processor is over on the download page.
A quick update on boards. I just heard that it was Chinese New Year recently, that would explain the delay to the next batch of boards. I hope to get them in stock and out to everyone really soon.
That air assist looks pretty professional (specially the directing nozzle at the laser business end), any ideas if someone is selling a kit?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm not aware of anyone selling a kit. I was fortunate enough to have mine come with it. Let me know if you find someone.
