Additional Equipment / Zusätzliches Equipment
Here is a list of commonly used equipment. If you think, something is missing, let me know. There are no affiliate links, I attempted to avoid linking to a dedicated product but the product class.
Air Assist Pumps / Compressor / Pumpen Requirement: about 60L/min Hailea ACO-318 https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00BNSQ16K Aquaforte V-60 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B006SYHCI0/ Silicon hose https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000H6SRMU/ |
|
Air Assist Nozzles / Düsen Facebook Group Files Section: https://www.facebook.com/groups/538557960530958/files Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=sculpfun&page=1&type=things&sort=relevant Brass Nozzle (Messingdüse) from Jakub: https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/952903198/ultimate-air-assist-brass-nozzle-for Tobias Vollmer: https://www.vollmer-tobias.de/air-assist-sculpfun-s9/ |
|
V-Slot-Wheels / Laufrollen Standard “open builds” vslot wheels Hole diameter: 5 mm, Thickness: 10,23 mm, Dimensions: 23,89 x 16 x 10,23 mm, 625zz bearing Use polycarbonate ones if possible, they are more robust https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=v+slot+wheel |
|
Belts / Riemen Type: GT2, 6mm High quality are from Gates Powergrip mostly no name brands: https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=gt2+belt+6mm |
|
T-Nuts / T-Nut-Muttern M3 M4 M5 as you like (depends on your screws) width should be 10x6mm to fit into 2020 aliminium profile https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=t-nut+2020 |
|
Limit Switches / Endschalter I recommend fully assembled switches with debouncing circuitry already on board (like the one in the picture) https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=endstop+switch |
|
Drag chains / Schleppketten I recommend 10x15mm minimum and with feature to open each element: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07WJ4CPF5/ |
|
Fan / Lüfter The laser head uses a standard 40x40x20mm fan (two-wire, no PWM/RPM). Be sure that it is 12V and has enough CFM. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=fan+40*40*20 |
|
Laser Shield Glas / Laserschutzglas Requirement: blocks wavelength around 455nm (laser wavelength) Plexiglas GS Orange 2C04 GT is absorbing the correct wavelength. It’s hard to post international links, better search for some local supplier. |
|
Automatic Fire Extinguisher / Automatischer Feuerlöschball Fire extinguisher ball: https://www.elidefire.fr/home |
|
Protective glasses / Laserschutzbrille Look out for certified glasses for a wavelength of 455nm and an optical density of OD6+. It’s hard to post international links, better search for some local supplier. |
|
Honeycomb bed / Wabenmatte Be aware that most of the honeycomb beds have a 2cm frame and this one is counted at the size measurement. So my bed that was advertised as 40x40cm bed has a usable size of 36x36cm. https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=honeycomb+laser |
|
Honeycomb pins / Wabennadeln These pins are used to hold the workpiece down on the bed. Very convenient, especially if the workpiece is not straight flat. I received this file from somewhere, I can’t recover any author. Download (LightBurn file) I used 4 mm plywood to cut them out, but 3 mm should be fine as well or even better. For the original Sculpfun honeycomb, I needed to adjust the size: Download (LightBurn file) And here are some other pins, by Paul Grobler (official Sculpfun Facebook group): Download (LightBurn file) |
|
Focus Screw Knobs / Adapter für Fokusschrauben The focus screws are very tiny, that’s why I use these adaptors: Thingiverse Link You can also use the laser to create such: Download (LightBurn file) (by Paul Grobler) |
|
Focus Tool Holder / Halter für den Fokussierungs-Zylinder This is a holder that can be produced with the laser itself. I included two versions that have been shared in the Sculpfun user group: Download (LightBurn file) |
