DIY Laser Bed

DIY Laser Bed

I have been fooling around trying to make an inexpensive adjustable table for the K40. It is not too easy to keep it cheap and usable! I have been basing it on a lift table design but this only gives about 2 inches of usable travel. An adjustable head would be a better option with that amount of limited travel. So the table is still a work in progress but the bed has been made. It is not any cheaper than the LightObject bed but was fun making. It consists of some c-channel aluminum, expanded metal and range filters.

  1. When you say range filters, are you referring to range-hood filters? If so, I think it's a great idea, although small parts will not be able to fall all the way through. So I'm 50/50 on it.

  2. Yes range - hood filters. You can put a small shim under the item to let parts drop.

  3. I've been on the fence about buying one of these lasers and not having an adjustable bed has been one of the hold ups.
