Ortur Laser - Recipes for Cutting Thick Foam Easy!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this episode, we will be we will be looking what you will need to cut thick ( Polyethylene - Fastcap Kaizen) foam with the Ortur Laster Master II (see more here: ). The Ortur Laser Master II with its large size is great for making Kaizen tool cut outs using FastCap style foam (see more here: amzn.to/37EcY0V ). So if your a maker you need one of these to start organizing your shop today!
One of the important things to note is the G8 lens is a very important piece in making cuts to thicker materials because of its long focal length. It will produce a narrower kerf over a greater distance.

Rest in Peace. Your helpful advice, ideas, & videos will be greatly missed.
Thinking the next few foam cutting episodes could push me over the line, and get me one of these lasers ;)

Stan good to hear from you! Hopefull this fall will get time to get the DMR setup working again so we can chew the rag! This laser has been a lot of fun!
Love the video. super informative. A few questions: What watt diode laser were you using? (10w or 20w) Have you/Can you do similar testing on EVA foam? (in a similar thickness) Thx!
Can you cut insulation foam from Home Depot aka pink diorama foam? Thanks.
What Power did you use?
I can’t wrap my head around focusing for the middle. How’s that done?
The link for the G8 Laser Lens doesnt work anymore :(
Your videos are SO informative, clear, concise and to the point, thank you for posting them. Do you have any information on making an enclosure and where to buy appropriate plexiglass for a window? I’m waiting for my Ortur 20 watt laser to arrive and continue to prepare for it by learning from you. Thank you.

@@DIY3DTECHcom you’re welcome, thank you. The G8 lens you also recommended, I checked the link and it’s on eBay for about 20.00, does that sound right? And do you sell the mount for that as well as the air nozzle mount? I don’t have a 3D printer to be able to make myself. I would be happy to purchase them from you.
Loving the videos. Would you recommend the g8 lens upgrade for the ortur 20w?

G8 is a must have for any diode laser as its depth of focus is so deep it is a must for cutting thicker objects such as foam or even cardboard.
Thanks for another informative video. Have you tried cutting the craft foam such as the kind sold a Michael's and Hobby Lobby? Never mind I just found the video you did on craft foam, thanks.

Bless you once again. My laser arrives on HALLOWEEN!! OMG I am so excited! What kind of air pump is good for air assist? I have a nozzle from a 3D Maker on Etsy. It is very sturdy. I am quite happy with the construction. I already have plenty of medical hose from other projects. But I would like to pick up an adequate air pusher before i get started.

I use this amzn.to/3iZ5nfU however your could also use something like this too: amzn.to/3mrpoxo which would make less noise

How's it been going with your laser? I'm getting my in a few days! What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started??
It looks like the links for the G8 lens aren't working. Can you recommend one that will work with the 20W Ortur Master 2?
This openning is far better than the one with computer generated female voice!!
