DIYing special gaskets seems to be a reoccuring job for my lasercutter.

#k40 laser cutter maintenance:
1. Cleaned the air outlet from all the gunk
2. Swapped the moldy silicone rubber tubing and cleaned the pump/reservoir from whatever life forms lived in there
3. Cleaned the mirrors... not sure if I will use them again or go for the new ones, they are not exactly great.
4. Fixed the power switch that was welded permanently closed (big switch mode power supply on switched outlet = too high inrush for the poor switch

Next steps:
1. fit AA battery instead of coin cells in thermometer
2. Fit new air assist nozzle
3. fit new exhaust ducting and additional exhaust fan
4. Move webcam to inside of lid so #meerk40t can overlay the webcam image on the bed = better placement/material use
5. misc small things
6. Test run!

Making some stamps for an event with the fiber laser at #KnoxMakers

#inkscape #meerk40t #lasercutting #stamp

Made a laserbot with some friends to promote the local hackerspace (Knox Makers). Aluminum extrusion and laser cut/engraved wood for the enclosure around a fiber laser. Arduino to interface with the buttons and talk to the laptop (in back). Python code to use Meerk40t's batch file processing ability to burn the proper images, with the right size, position, and laser settings.
