    Does anyone have any cad plans for any builds. Ive been looking on here all day and I have yet to find any plans in the build section of any of the forums. I'm fair with cad but i dont know what goes where when it comes to terms of a laser engraver. Im looking to build 60 or 80 watt

    Plenty of CO2 Laser project in the Builds section: See LASER - PLASMA BUILDS | OpenBuilds

    Among them:

    Custom build 80w Co2 Laser Cutter
    https://openbuilds.com/builds/openbuilds-freeburn-1-v-slot-co2-laser-60-100w.1001/
    https://openbuilds.com/builds/ls-laser.7304/
    https://openbuilds.com/builds/1250x1000-build.9109/
    https://openbuilds.com/builds/openbuilds-table-top-50w-co2-laser-cutter-engraver.8688/
    https://openbuilds.com/builds/vulcan-750x1200-v-slot-90w-co2-laser.9287/



    Safety above all else
    CO2 Laser have 20kilovolt power supplies, with nearby water cooling, and can jump arcs up to 300mm long. Then if you don't kill yourself through electrocution, there's still the real risk of eye damage, CO2 beams are invisible, you'll feel the damage (pain) before you see any light coming your way, including reflections.
    Not impossible, just be aware of the risks, and evaluate against your skillset :)
