MY-Laser-CNC

What is ME-Laser CNC?

This project started out as a solution to solve a problem at the company where I work at the moment and has since evolved into something that I will share here...

I present to you my ME - Laser CNC: ME - Laser CNC

Controller Board

I use the Makerbase MKS DLC32 board as a controller, which is an offline engraving master control kit designed for desktop engraving machines. The hardware is equipped with a 32-bit high-speed ESP32 module, has built-in WIFI function, and directly drives a 3.5-inch touch-sensitive color dislpay. It can perform fast engraving and also has a WEB page as a control interface. This board can also be controlled by a mobile APP with various functions, as well as can be used with LaserGRBL and LightBurn PC software.

3D model and Bill of materials

If you're thinking about building your own ME - Laser CNC you can find everything you need here on this page, I'll leave the link to the 3D model I made in Sketchup as well as the BOM of all materials and parts for 3D printing. If you don't have a 3D printer you can use your favorite 3D printing service or I also provide a 3D printing service which also helps a lot with my projects, you can use the links on this site to contact me.
