Standard Acro frame with a servo- or pneumatic-operated petal grip (pneumatic would allow you to adjust operating pressure instead of building a...
I just finished building my Acro 510 and I'm having problems getting the motors to move. I followed both tutorial videos but my machine has no...
I almost hate to ask about this because it is probably something simple. I currently have a CNC router that I built in 2016 which uses an Aduino...
Nice unit. I wish I had bought an OptLaser the first time. True 6W performance, rock-solid. Thanks - never heard of them, but always looking for...
I just want to report another great Acro laser build! I've 20x40 version with 6W OptLaser being driven by xPro CNC board. I've been cutting balsa...
Hey Peter, Turns out you do need the pot on the power supply even if you have the break off one in me little screen. I Have the power working...

(For a more in depth instruction, view my Instructable: Modular DIY CNC Machine) [IMG] [IMG] I wanted to build this CNC machine as a proof of...
Thank you for all that. I had thought Vectric had the controllers built in. So, breakout board or Arduino? If I do Arduino, it will give me...
cam.openbuilds.com can generate the Gcode for you from a DXF file. Since you are not trying to yank a 700 watt spindle up those should work fine....
This will likely be a long post but I'll try to keep the information to the relevant. I have a 100-watt Chinese laser with a 600x1000 bed....
To supplement my CNC router (Ox) I wanted to add a laser diode. After some time messing around, I decided instead to build a minimalist dedicated...
I just completed the test assembly with some odds and ends of extrusion to prove my design files were OK - all fit, snug as a bug on the first go....
When I first saw the ACRO laser build, my brain registered it as ORCA. Not sure why, but then my brain started churning up a logo one boring...
Technically one has the power capacity to do both y axis motors, but I wouldn't do that; you can run into current-sharing issues due to minor...
My only experience with linear rails and bearings is on my 3d printer. The linear ball bearings (made in China) that came with it are crap. I...
Hello everyone, I was wondering if you can help with a new build. I am very green and really have no idea of what I am doing, but I thought I can...
