Install the laser
-
Hi, is it possible to install a laser on the Draw pro, if so, only that of the eleks maker or even other types?
-
any elekslaser will install on the draw
-
Ok, thank you, but it's possible to know the laser outputs from the control board, the 12 volt power supply and the PWM signal, but the latter what is it for?
-
the laser output has 3 connections. + 12volt - ground and S for signal. s is the 5 v signal that tells the laser what power to output at.

Hi if i want to do oposite, turn eleksdraw in laser, i bought the laser from eleks but i need to get laser module ( i mean the blue laser holder that in eleksdraw pro is fixt in opossite of draw module so you can youse above in the same time without switch them) i can not find that blue laser holder anywehere, can you help me please.
-
@27cris In my tests the EleksDraw didn't work well with a laser, it is not stable. It may work for cutting but was not good for engraving.
-
@Zax can you please explain with some examples, I am using laser with eleksdraw, may be if I need to switch it..
-
@vivek.khanna In T2Laser you use the configure eleksmana menu to switch modes, it's very easy.
-
@Zax my question is regarding the instability of eleksdraw for laser engraving, what wrong have you observed if you can share the observations/examples.
-
@vivek.khanna The mass (weight) of the laser is too far from the pivot/drive point so you can't engrave as fast as a true laser.
-
Okz, that's a bit helpful, That applies to Velocity mode or regular mode as well?
is it because of the eleksdraw has carriage moving on linear rods whereas A3/A5 machines have wheels to slide and glide?
-
@vivek.khanna On the laser the head is very close to the axis, this is better for control of the mass. I am not saying it won't work on the draw but the results won't be as good especially at higher speeds.
-
ok Thanks, I have done with mods for laser height already (Adjusted it to top available screw)
I will also be doing some pro mods for the speed, I have something in my mind already will share in post later once completed

hi, I would like to install this laser at elksdraw pro think it's possible and from 100mw to me it's just for making pcb with photosensitive film. thank you!
Come si fa a d inserire un immagine!!!
