Have any of you guys given this a shot? http://jtechphotonics.com/?product=1-7w ... driver-kit" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I've got some preliminary findings here: https://mattlapaglia.com/?p=547" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I am currently working with the dev to get some STLs for mounting it to the effector and smoothieware configuration changes to get it working.

Re: Jtech Photonics Laser Kit
Nice, please share your experience when you get the kit.
I was thinking of getting the same laser.
EDIT: nvm, that was your review
I will wait for part 2

That's really important to see, I didn't know the Cheapo Laser was so crappy for $200.

Part 2 is up: https://mattlapaglia.com/?p=600" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'm having issues with the infill not meeting the perimeter, it seems to be tied to the X axis on the printer. I went around and tightened everything up but still the same issue.
Does the infill arc look a little too "neat" for it to be a hardware issue? It looks like a nice curve, just off. Could the smoothieware firmware be rounding off or something?

Re: Jtech Photonics Laser Kit
It almost looks like the laser is tilted slightly... I would start by checking to make sure you are mounted perpendicular to the cutting surface.
Re: Jtech Photonics Laser Kit
My shiny rigol arrived today, I've put off not having a scope for too long.
Here's the signal I get when running a burn command with S1 set:

If I set it to anything less than 1 it doesn't send any pwm:

I would thing the edge would progress to the right the lower the S value being sent?

Re: Jtech Photonics Laser Kit
Reflashing the smoothieboard with latest edge fixed the problem. I have some 3" open cell foam coming in the mail, will update then. If any of you guys want examples of stuff being cut let me know / mail me something.
