    Default LAYZOR - DIY full K40 conversion

    Hi all,

    I am preparing to build an entirely self-designed 400 x 600mm laser cutter based off my old K40.

    Full buildlog will be shared on my blog.

    Laser machine 400 x 600 mm I was making over 12 years ago. That one was a third model.
    Unfortunately, cant find pictures of earlier RED (2005) and BLUE (2005-2006) models :-(
    There was no need to make any internal frame. Construction was self-supporting.

    Wow very cool!

    And really polished. Looks like a commercial model.

    Hi all,
    just wanted to let you know that I officially finished this project, and for that occasion I just launched a dedicated LAYZOR website.

    For those that don't know, the LAYZOR is a complete rebuild of a K40, but I recommend you read the full story on my blogpost:
    LAYZOR website online! – man made mayhem
    and the website itself:
    www.manmademayhem.com/layzor

    Thanks for watching!

    LAYZOR plans now available!

    The LAYZOR project has been dominating all my free time since the beginning of the year. This post marks another milestone in this crazy journey.

    So what happenend? Well I finally finished the complete plans for converting any K40 to the LAYZOR. I'm very satisfied with the result and I actually finished it a few weeks earlier than anticipated, so I'm giving myself a golden medal for that.

    The plans are for sale over here: https://manmademayhem.com/layzor/myshop/#forsale

    Cheers!

    Already did some upgrades to the LAYZOR. I installed a Cohesion3D board and air assist!

    It's been quiet around the LAYZOR (€600 K40 laser cutter rebuild) but I've been working hard on making the custom part kits available. The first limited batch has already been sold out, now the second batch is publicly available for pre-order. Shipping is expected by mid-december. So for those who were hesitant about getting access to the custom parts: this is it!

    Please visit the LAYZOR website for more details:
    https://manmademayhem.com/layzor/pro...stom-part-kit/

    On my blog there are also some articles about making these kits:

    Thanks for watching!
