Laser Air Assist Nozzle
Description
Instructions
I printed with to shells just incase. Nozzle down
1. Finish printing and while still hot heat up a fitting of size 12mm-1/4" BSPT
2. Once the fitting is hot it should screw right on. The first i printed was a little to tight so i lite it up quickly and attached a preheated fitting.
3. Seal it and attach as you see fit, FIY. Some casket sealing and some strips might give you a perfect fit.

Could you post more information regarding the laser cutter?
How i customized it or what make/model it is? I done alot to it already and don't have a build log so i'm gonna have a hard time written that up.
make/model. It's just the model DC-KIII, atleast thats what shows up on eBay. I have the one with USB for Moshiboard.
Good timing. Just got one of these machines myself and was thinking of air assist. :)
What are you using for an air source and pipe?
Since i live on the 2nd floor in an apartment building i use an hobbiest air brush compressor, with a membrane cylinder pushing 60L/min, looked around on forums and settled on the 60L/min would be more than plenty for wood and acrylic.
As a hose i just used what fitted the pneumatic lines.
I would recommend not using coiled hose out side the cutter, but that's just for clutter. Remember also that the pneumatic fittings does leak air so you lose some pressure, but that's fine because the air compressor i use needs a bleed-valve.
BTW. your focus lens is probably just tossed into it's socket so create a small ring as a spacer between the socket and the lens. I'm happy i did it.

So heres my progress of the rework i'm doing on a DC-KIII or what their called. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I've stripped everything from the laser as it came and this is what i've built as the receiving donor. I hope the transplant will be a huge succes.
