So you are using something similar to this one? In order to use a Ruida with a K40 you would have to add a 24v PSU, external stepper drivers, and then wire all that up, so factor the total cost, time spent, and skill required over a 'drop in' solution like the Cohesion3D. yes the 40w is not powerful enough, but it'll get the job done eventually.Īll told I have maybe $100.00 in my upgrade. I had a engraving job running on a 85mm x 150mm granite sewing weight, it's a 8 hour job. Look for my post earlier this week on software, I uploaded my modded turnkey inkscape extension. I do cuts of 1/4' plywood, engrave granite, so vector and raster using this setup. I use an air assist nozzle with a select comfort bed air pump I modded. The MKS board is an arduino and ramps 1.4 together with some extra channels. We have wanted to upgrade our CO2 and took the chance on this one.

And I use the turnkey recommended marlin firmware for the arduino. Monport recently released a new control board for the K40s to use with Lightburn. I use inkscape 0.91 for generating my code using turnkeylaser extension. I yanked my moshidraw board a week after I started using it.
