  @Thomas-Valloo said in Some smart updates for A3/A5 - from Germany:

  @schiffer-soft , thank you, very inspiring !

  Could you detail where you connected the lasers and which one you bought ?

  Hi Thomas

  I have my own power supply through the drag chains for the cross line lasers, because they need 3.3V. Find it on banggood ( link below ).

  Unfortunately I have ordered the line lasers a bit expensive but cleanly installable for 19€ each at the following link. Module RED 5mW, adjustable Glass collimator:No, deflection angle:110° Miniature line laser Module 5mW Red 655nm Adjustable in focus and line position

  0.8mm, that's a small hole! I guess my nozzle is about 3mm, positioned within 5mm of the work. I wonder if there are any guidelines for pressure / distance for most effectiveness?

  Yes, the pump works well, but could it be better with more pressure? who knows...

  How to connect these cables (2500 mw ttl/ pmw laser unit)

  Hello,

  I received my laser, it's a fake eleksmaker, the power says 5W. It comes with the exact same cables than in this post but I don't understand how to connect it. I tried with the yellow/black/red directly connected to the white plug on the left of "laser" on the mana board (as in the photo that is up).

  It works during a few minutes but then, the laser shuts down and powers up again and shut down instantly, etc... i'm thinking : as it is heating it needs more power for the fans but the power adapter from the eleksmaker is probably not powerful enough. It's just a though maybe it's completely wrong!

  Anyone knows how I should connect it with the external power source ?

  Thanks by advance

  PS : the laser board looks like this :

  Not sure where people are in the world, but in the UK these people have the extrusion. I have just purchased their limit switch kits.

  Hello, after trying elekscam, inkscape and another one that I do not remember I found the LaserGbrl that I find very practical and easy to use, it also allows the engraving of photos. There are several videos in yuotube that explain the use.

  Found the problem, one of the x axis stepper motor plugs must have been bumped and one pin appeared not be located. Pushed it in and its back to its old self!

  Thanks Zax as always, right on the money! I guessed it was something along those lines, but I knew this was the place to ask to make sure.

  Thanks again

  @oliverhbailey I'm not sure what you mean by TTL and PWM choice, if you have an A3 Pro it has a laser which uses a TTL signal with PWM. You can find my post explaining what these terms mean here: http://forum.eleksmaker.com/topic/1883/confusion-over-ttl-pwm-usage-on-web-sites/2

  In T2Laser it doesn't matter whether your laser is TTL or not, in fact it may not even be a laser it could be a plasma torch, CNC spindle or something else. The control methods are the same.

  The default firmware (Grbl 1.1e) has the correct parameters for your machine and is what I recommend. You could use the 7.8kHz firmware as it's the same except for the PWM frequency but there would be no benefit. The firmware upload section in the manual gives basic information on what each one does.

  Velocity mode is not an undocumented feature, but I am sure some of my explanations aren't as thorough as they could be. You should be able to get good results without it, it varies feed rate instead of laser power to achieve the same grey scale result.

  I do have some PDF documents on my website covering various topics and if you have specific questions you can always e-mail me. If I get the same question too many times I usually create a guide, video or add some more details to the manual.

  It turned out the problem was the white paper. Once i changed that for colored one all was good. The best results i got on red paper.
