A Piper PA-28 crashes after takeoff from a local airfield, killing two. Here’s a really great example of what I’m talking about. Since the type of machine was reported inaccurately, the machine obviously didn’t cause any damage, didn’t produce carbon monoxide, and didn’t kill anyone. Since there’s no such thing as a ‘3D laser cutter’, this obviously did not happen, and the evil press is out to kill 3D printing”īasically, it’s an argument from nomenclature. If you watch the video I’m referring to, the basis of the argument is, “This article in a Berkeley newspaper said a ‘3D laser cutter’ produced CO, and this killed two people and two cats. My problem with the “reporting” mentioned above is that it was incredible - that is to say, a statement that could not be taken as truthful - that a 3D printer *could* kill someone. Oh, I don’t have a problem with fuzzy things like ‘not knowing’ something or even weird things like ‘speculation’. Posted in Software Hacks Tagged K40, laser cutter, laser engraver Post navigation This isn’t the only way to improve your K40, you can drop in a new controller, or even increase the size of its bed. He has posted a video of K40 Whisperer in action, which you can see below the break.

Currently it works with the stock M2 Nano controller board and is available as a Windows download, though it can also be compiled for Linux distributions, or MacOS, and he is asking owners to test it with as many machines as possible to ensure compatibility with other boards. It has a halftone algorithm for rendering grey scales, and cuts from the inside of each shape first to avoid pieces of work dropping out of the piece of material. Feature-wise, the software reads SVG and DXF files, and can split SVGs by colour. A spreadsheet was used to collate data packets and spot repeating patterns to analyse the inner workings. He tells us that the reverse engineering process required to understand the K40’s protocol was non-trivial, given that it does not use handy decimal numbers to issue commands. If your workshop or hackspace has one of these machines languishing in the corner, then the release of a new piece of software, K40 Whisperer from, is an interesting and welcome development. Sure, they’re only powerful enough for the lightest cutting tasks, but on top of that, their bundled software is inflexible and disappointing.

The relatively inexpensive K40 laser cutter/engraver machines from China have brought laser cutting to the masses, but they are not without their faults.
