Since there is not a modification category under laser engravers/cutters, I am placing this here!
I am not sure if anyone else has the problem of their air pump walking all over the place but I do. It will cozy up to my bench or laser and make a hell of a racket. Well no more! I made a sling from an old bicycle tube. I also put the tube under the sling so it cannot walk around any longer!
Now I do not know it is even there anymore.
Nicely done.
Nice … sling!
…but I just bolted mine down and all is good???
I thought the legs were isolated?
Due to the vibration, there were rubber skid marks everywhere!
I had the same problem with mine walking around on my garage floor. Threw a thick piece of rubber (~1/2") under it and now its stationary. I also threw some filter foam in an 8oz. plastic jar, drilled a hole in the bottom and pushed it on the air intake nipple. muffles the sound a bit more, even though I still prefer to turn it off between jobs. A RF relay makes that easy from across the room. Now I just have to wire it to the smoothieboard so it does that automatically lol
Why would you need to turn it on and off from across the room?
You mean when a job finishes and your sitting in another location?
Does Lightburn support turning on air assist as part of a job setup?
In my garage my laser and computer are separated by maybe 15ft. Still using LaserWeb4 as it allows me to run the backend on a rPi and eliminate the wire running aceross the floor. Note that I am always present during jobs AND I have a camera setup to watch with a small screen next to my monitor. The wireless relay was just something I had that made things convenient to eliminate the white noise of the air assist pump(usually watching shows or youtube videos)
and I’m sure Lightburn can do this for me as can LaserWeb, i just have yet to wire up my standard relay to accomodate this. And I do not condone ever leaving a laser unattended so don’t think that’s what I was meaning, I like not burning my house down!
