Laser engraver head for the Cetus

I've only just got the damned thing and only run 2 test parts off it but already I've spotted an enhancement. 

This whacky German guy has spotted that the Cetus has a spare header that is intended for driving a small thermal laser - and shown how to get it running. 


Looks good to me, so obviously I've wasted no time wasting my money on one.

I should get on with making up the bracket while I wait for the slow boat to bring mine over here. 

Looking forward to playing with this. Meanwhile I should also be looking into how to use g code with the Cetus. Doesn't look too difficult but still requires me to RTFM.

There.

TIG welder up and running - after some fault diagnostics and repair

Finally got some time to connect up the flow meter and argon hose. Plugged in the torch and ground cables and the torch hose etc. Powered it...
