Hey all, I hope this doesn’t count as spam, but i’m looking to sell my trusty OmTech K40. it’s a solid laser cutter. i will provide original amazon links to everything included: Orion Motor Tech 12"x 8" 40W CO2... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EJDH1BO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I have the original usb dongle that allows you to use their proprietary software, but I’ve always used and recommended the open source software called “k40 whisperer”.

i have removed the original bed and upgraded it with a 12”x9” homecomb bed: 300X200 Honeycomb. Fit K40 machine https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EFFOF0W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

i have run additional tubing for air assist and will include an air compressor: VIVOSUN Air Pump 950 GPH 32W... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDKRYC6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

i also have an additional laser head with an air assist connect, but i was too scared to ever install it. but you can have that too: 18mm Laser Head w/ Air Assisted.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0094WLPYK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The machine works great. The only caveat at all is that i let the water cooling hoses sit in there water too long and they got gross and slimy, so i cut like a foot off the tube. you just need to keep your water bucket pretty close to the unit.

As you can see i’ve got over $650 invested in this setup, but i live in a small home and i just don’t use it enough to justify the space. i’d like to get $400 for it and i’m willing to meet up in the San Antonio / Austin area. I’d be willing to drive about an hour away to help get this into the hands of someone who will appreciate it.
