it is amazing that these diode lasers don't come with this as a standard accessory. It greatly enhances their capabilities yet even using retail parts costs less than $20.
They want you to buy now and have an easy upsale later. either an upgrade kit or a new model.
Wow. This is really well thought off. And the result is fantastic ! Thanks for the effort!
Cool idea Rmc
This is great tutorial! Excelent work!
Thanks!
Great video! #diy #woodworking
Great idea and execution. Congratulations!!! And what is your compressor.
I have an oil-free compressor 24L 1HP 1500W OLF-1024W, branded, quieter than normal on oil!
Look for the engine model with 2 pistons!- www.sculesiechipamente.ro/compresor-fara-ulei-24l-1hp-1500w-olf-1024w/
Nice concept, thanks for your help. However, I'll have to curve the tube sligthly differentely. My just-received M50 has the cone only 10mm above the surface. Just wondering also if not better to have an airflow more "horizontal"? One question: what are you using for the connection of the 6mm tube to your oil-free compressor?
The air must enter the cut as well as possible, to cool these edges. At the same time, by increasing the air supply, it increases the temperature and power of the laser spot. if we put the air flow horizontally, it will "wash" the surface! I use something like this:
gebotools.ro/cupla-pentru-furtun-aer-comprimat-6mm.html?source=googleads&gclid=Cj0KCQiA8ICOBhDmARIsAEGI6o1W3agZTrbZLRYUm81DqLyR18-c-25wVYMJC-jVjGcYDgreKuRU4u4aAkYrEALw_wcB
have you compared this to the other style where you replace the laser head? I think your style makes more pressure but the other delivers more volume. I'm curious if there is a difference.
If you adjust it to the fixed, increase the clean cutting depth! But it must be insisted with precision
Thanks for sharing 🙂👍🏼, Rmc Reloaded I have a question, what kind of compressor is needed for air assist? can an old compressed refrigerator fit?
The refrigerator compressor is not good! It must be permanently lubricated and the oil will be spread with the air. inevitably it will reach the lens and damage it!
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver thanks , very nice channel and good tutorial ! You have another followers 🙂👍🏼
An electromagnetic fish tank compressor might be suitable. That's what I intend to use.
Damn fine piece of ingenuity there dude !!! love this ....i have the 20w A5 model would this technique work for that one ??
awesome vid btw .. thank you for upload ;) P.S. found this link on Thingiverse ;) subbed😎🤘
We solved the problem for those with A20 / A30 / A40 as well. I will publish it in a few days! Stay tuned!
I just got my Atomstack A5 M40. But unfortunately this I am still testing options but this technique doesn't work nearly as well for it :( The laser is much closer to the bottom of the assembly. The OEM funnel comes down to about 2mm from the bottom of the housing, not ~20mm like shown in the video. I may be able to still get the pipe between the funnel and the bottom if I aim it fully sideways but I think that would greatly reduce the effectiveness. I intend to test it and see if I can reroute the pipe to be inside of the funnel.

Great idea, does it matter what material you use for the 3d printed part, what did you use?
Does not matter! There are no loads on the material! I had PetG in the printer!
buon tt RMC ... scusa ho un piccolo problema con una M30 il conetto non sembra avvitato o bloccano in nessuna maniera sembra semplicemente incastrato sl diodo come si fa a rimuoverlo per pulirlo
Very nice design! How much pressure do you run from the air compressor?
maximum 2 bar! variable, depending on the project!
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver You can probably get that from an aquarium air pump.
@@macrumpton In the case I chose aquarium air pump how much air flow power?
not sure if i missed it in the video but whats the purpose of the wire mesh
great video though.it does appear the directed air to the cut rather than air all around the cut works better
To keep the brass tube in a fixed position. It must allow air from the laser fan to circulate, not to have temperature problems, to be easy to clean!
After making this modification; How do you clean the laser lens?
It is designed to be easily disassembled! And due to the fact that there is not so much smoke, it does not require cleaning as often as before!
Nice idea, thanks for sharing. Having tried to reproduce it I saw that the rotation of the laser aluminium cone now prevents the protective glass to be correctly put in place (it can't slide all the way anymore and so it cannot be used, which is not acceptable for safety reasons). This happens whether you rotate the cone 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. Unless cutting the small part of the cone which interferes with the glass (but then, this proposal is not reversible anymore), I do not see a solution. Do you concur? Any idea?
For the M50 model with a small mirror, I made an air assist with a metal cone. The mirror is completely removed. goggles must be worn. I don't know if it will cost you 22 euros and 20-25 euros for transport.
just glue the mirror in place or make a 3d mount for it... wouldn't that work?
@@katkothaza -I thought about this, but I thought it was more important to be able to get the air jet out more easily without putting on the mirror, and to use specially designed glasses to cover the wavelength of the laser.
Honestly, I had something to compare the mirror with, and it seems to me the most unsuccessful protection. Especially since it fills up with dirt frequently!
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver at this point, 3d printed a solution becomes a must for those who care for a better finish, and someone already did that using your idea. However, your concept remains as the easiest, fastest and more than enough for those who doesn't mind wearing protective glasses. Thanks for sharing. 👍
@@katkothaza -The solutions are. The important thing is the first idea that then it will develop. I am a fan of sharing things and weaving ideas. You will find great results at www.thingiverse.com/alexwimjan/designs. There are things studied, thought out and tried.
Hi, very nice conversion, how are your experiences in the meantime? Are you still using it or are you using something else?
For the M50 model, with the long mirror, it was the best air assist. It is still mounted on it.
For those with a short mirror, we also made a completely metallic one.
Actually, Air assist Compatible with all ATOMSTACK engraving machine models.
This is brilliant!! What size (diameter) brass tubing did you use?
Write in the video and the link is given in the description -2mm!
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver I cant find 2mm od with 0.3 well thickness just 0.2
does not matter! Use it!
@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver I have now got 2.0mm tube but after watching the video i can't see where you placed the heat shrink to use as a gasket?
instead of the printed piece. it's faster. With the printed part it is more elegant, but it is not mandatory
How did you connect M50 without motherboard?
It looks like you inverted the connectors🙃
You got caught! Bravo!
Does it have to be metal mesh? Can I 3D print a mesh? Thanks!
You could try. the goal is not to move the pipe and keep it in a fixed position.
you show marking the center of the laser but don't show why you need to do that. What is the purpose of that step?
To orient yourself where to orient the tip of the pipe!
Olá . Qual é o mais potente s9 90w ou o m50 do video ?
When I say 90 watts (at S9 90W) they refer to a combustion comparable to the effect of a CO2 laser with a power of 90 W,
In fact, in S9 the laser power is 5.5 - 6 W, while in M50 we find 2 5W diodes that will have a power of 9.5-10W.
So which is stronger?
(at S9 90W(at S9 90W
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver então o m50 é mais potente ?
Obvious! What do you want to use it for?
Salut! Ce compresor si ce presiune a aerului folosesti ?
Aceste modele sunt mai putin zgomotoase. E ca si cum ai avea un frigider vechi in functiune. 1bar-maxim 2bari

I bought the laser by booking it even before its commercial release, paid € 260.00. arrived broken. after three months from the purchase they refunded me € 80.00. aesthetically beautiful object, too bad it doesn't work.
In what sense, broken? Contact me on the official Atomstack group!
I wish I hadnt ordered the air assist from atomstack. Ordered in Februrary and still waiting. Just to appease me they gave me a fake tracking number.
I have nothing to do with this. Isn't it better to build one? However, I noticed that they started sending to customers!
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver Oh I just meant I wish I had gone this route instead of ordering one. I did finally get a tracking update. Fingers crossed.
@@dasg5805 🤘
I noticed in the comments that air is being used to cool the part. But in some of the reply’s the word Oxygen was used. Please do not use Oxygen. It will cause an explosion.
It was an automatic and unverified translated answer! Thanks!
Ok. Im sold.
that's great!
what is the purpose of this device? thank you
Please be clear - for what?
@@RmcReloaded-tehnicaldriver sorry i wanted to know what this is useful for? I think it's to cool down? This is it ?
@@danielricaud3783 Having an air assist blows out burned material during cuts, cools down the material, and blows oxygen into the laser. This allows for a hotter laser, cooler material, helps prevent fires, and blows out charred material so the laser can cut faster and smoother. You get cleaner, faster, deeper cuts with an air assist.
@@geektoolkit please don’t use oxygen. You are blowing air on the piece. Oxygen will explode.
@@swiftbuzzerd7497 Right good point..not meaning to use oxygen for the air assist, but that it assists in providing oxygen via the airflow (as I understand it). but no, don't use actual oxygen. Thatd be..bad.
Pump model?
I use a 24-liter, oil-free, low-noise compressor. 1-1.5 bar pressure.
Rube goldberg strikes again, That tube is to small to move very much air, Might try the unit made by Atomstack and leave the mounting screws alone, Over time i can see the module coming loose.
Bad design. Cleaning the lens will turn into a huge project disassembling the air line just to get to the lens.
😆Thank you for the intervention. After more than 30k views, I also have a negative opinion. With this project, combined with the other improvements to the M50 long mirror, after two months of intensive use (I made Christmas gifts), I cleaned the lens because I wanted to, not because it was necessary. I considered this improved M50 the best investment of that moment. The lens runs 5 cm from the material.
At this moment there are other solutions. You are free to adopt anything else. Thanks!
