Building a Homemade (MPCNC) CO2 LASER Cutter Part 4

In this episode I wire up the electronic and electrical components of my MPCNC and then test it out to see if it works. I did 3 tests: First "the Crown" which is a ready-to-run G-Code file by Ryan, the creator of the MPCNC at V1 Engineering. Second I took a design my daughter Michelle (@Fleecimals) had done for the LASER cutter in my old lab, converted it to SVG, then loaded it into LightBurn, resized it, generated G-Code, then edited the G-Code to make it work with my test pen instead of a LASER. And the final test was just for fun. 😁 Most of the assembly portion of the video is sped up (because boring), but you can follow along the build instructions I'm using starting here: https://docs.v1engineering.com/electr...
