Oh, that is a great idea, see i thought it would not work, due to the the honeycomb not looking like its actually glued together, but pushed together at the perimiter wit those brackets, i thought that the pipes going through the middle of the honeycomb would simply slide out if the frame is removed, but either way, i think its better to actually swap that bed and make the honey comb the bed, just looks more proffesional dont u think?
if i have the ability to do so why not.

also could u please do me a huge and either email me some more pictures or just post them here of how you mounted the end nozzle for the air assist at the laser head area.

We changed the connector to a small "M3" barb as using the "L" type air host connector make it so bulky and blocking some space

That is an isolated power module for the digital meter. It is nothing to do with the DSP card.
You use it to power the digital current meter from the DC24V as it convert 18~32V to 5V for the meter

Since I have almost finished my upgrade also, I just want to make sure I understand.

The part here: http://www.lightobject.com/1205S-DC-DC- ... -P412.aspx#

That is the part that came with my kit. It looks like we have the same part.

It states on the page 9-18 volt DC input.

Is it OK to use it with the 24v?

Not wanting to steal his topic, but since we both have questions about the same part I put it here. I can move it if needed.

Thanks

oh man, please, post and ask questions as much as you can, u would like that actually as people asking questions will usually help me also because most likely the questions i myself needed anwsers to but either forgot to answer or something like that, but thank you so much, i am very pleased that you were able to help me figure this out.

i am almost done with my Laser upgrade, mainly its taking so long because i have decided to go all out on this unit, even though i will most likely sell it soon after making a couple things and learning how to use it, and swap for bigger

but i decided to cut some more vent holes, and mainly what is taking so long i am painting casing, not sure what color, to cover all the holes i cut with paint

You sure don't want to use rigid tube for the laser tube. You can crack the tube very easy when the tube is push. Use a better quality silicon flex tubing is good enough for next couple years

You may use 8X12 (usually for 60W or above). You need to use cable tide to lock it if you worry about losing
Or 6x9

(A little tight when doing installation but won't come out easy)
