Cantilevered Laser Engraver

I don’t have laser glasses for the cat so can’t run the laser with her around. Her name is Smokey.

I did a burn of the leg for my CNC table & ran it twice & this photo was taken after the 2nd burn. I don’t see any overlap in the 2 burns. Don’t think I could ask for any better results on the first vertical burn test.


Since that worked well, I went on to burn a couple of posts on the deck. When I did the post closest to the house, I moved the leg closest to the inline with the 2060x500mm to be able to be able to move the machine close enough to house to get the design fully on the 4x4. Could also put the laser carriage on backwards if you really needed more space, but that is more trouble.


Here is what the updated design looks like. I am pretty happy with this design now.
