I Fixed My Laser Engraver Last Weekend.
Some of the gadgets I have in the lab sort of fail from attrition if they aren't regularly used. I have this EleksMaker EleksLaser A3 with a 30 watt laser that I use for cutting cardboard, balsa and model aircraft plywood for model rocketry. I had an ASUS Stick PC driving this for a few years. When that Stick PC stopped working I got too busy with other things to put the laser engraver back into commission. Finally, a couple of months ago I had time to replace the Stick PC with a 2-in-1 tablet. I had to scrounge around to find the EleksMaker software. Finally, I got the software loaded. During the first trial run, darn if the laser module didn't burn out. So I bought a replacement 40 watt laser module. But this is a fixed focus laser and the body was bigger than the mounting bracket for the original laser module. I knew I needed to design and 3D print some sort of bracket to resolve the issue. A few more weeks went by. Now I found that my 3D printer which has been idle for a couple of months needs some work as well. The filament didn't like the transition from hot and humid Summer to cool and dry Fall. So it was just crumbling off the spool and cracked off at the extruder. Finally over the Thanksgiving holiday, I had a couple extra days off from work. Fixing the 3D printer turned out to be pretty easy. I released the Bowden tube from the extruder, heated up the hot end, pushed the remaining filament in the Bowden tube forward a little, then pulled it out sharply. Fortunately, it all came out. With the 3D printer back in business, let's focus (Ha ha get it?) on fixing the laser engraver.
