MakiBOX Laser Upgrade<\/h2>\n

Laser Upgrade Implementation<\/h2>\n

The MakiBOX is a really cool new printer out there that is super cheap. \u00a0They are also using a version of the PrintRboard rev B<\/a>\u00a0from the RepRap project that includes an implementation of the fan. \u00a0As far as I can see, they are not using a fan in there product, but it should still be part of the electronics and the firmware.<\/p>\n

To upgrade the Makibox, just add a Molex style connector to the PrintRboard fan output and connect it to the laser driver input.\u00a0\u00a0Then use the M106 command for \u201claser on\u201d and M107 command for \u201claser off\u201d.<\/p>\n

You can get the connector\u00a0here at the shop<\/a>\u00a0or find it on your own. \u00a0Of course, you will need to print out a mechanical mount for the laser as well. \u00a0The dimensions and solid models are located in the documents section of the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is the graphical version of the instructions:<\/p>\n

If you ever want to add a fan as well, you can use a SPDT switch and then can move between 3D printing with a fan and laser cutting by flipping the switch.<\/p>\n
