Printerina Laser Engraver
Converting a delta 3D printer into a powerful laser engraving system
Converting a delta 3D printer into a powerful laser engraving system
Building on the success of the new Printerina 3D printer project, this modification transforms the compact delta printer into a versatile laser engraving system. By replacing the extruder with a 2500mW 445nm laser module, we've created what might be the first delta-based laser engraver.
The first step involved carefully removing the original extruder assembly while maintaining the delta mechanism's integrity.
The 2500mW 445nm Laser Head Engraving Module was installed, featuring:
M106 S0 G92 G2 G1 X10 Y10 Z0 G4 P0 M106 S255 // ... calibration pattern ... M106 S0
A special calibration pattern helps find the optimal focal height for maximum cutting efficiency.
