    Hello, I am new to this forum, CNC controls, and lasers for cutting. Very cool project, and very well documented. Building something like this is on my bucket list for sure. Right now I am diving into a CNC router build. It will be my first.. I will be watching to see what else you create. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks Mark.

    I have been looking over other builds on here for days now. I have myself so excited about doing my own build I can hardly stand it, ha-ha.... All my parts will be here in three days. I can't wait to start building.

    I just looked and I see I am posting in someone else's build thread. Sorry about that.

    I would like to make a combined 2-axis controller / driver for an NUBM08 or NUBM44 diode (4.5W - 7.0W).

    What changes to your circuit would be needed? Could a variable resistor be used to be able to cope with a range of different diodes?

    I'm afraid we haven't heard from Robert since March 2015. However, I'm sure someone else will be able to help you in some way. :)

    I bought a Sainsmart Genmitsu LE5040 and two 1 meter lengths of V-slot extrusion. I 20211114_112402[1].jpg can fit a whole sheet of black foamboard in it. I use black because the laser it came with is a bluish purple diode laser and it works best on darker materials.
