Cable holders for universal engraver

Community Laser Talk

I have universal engraver 3000mW
Keeping the cables clear of the laser is a crapshoot
If anyone knows where I can buy the roll up cable holders like those used on the 15000mW unit from universal I will be forever grateful

What you’re looking for is called Drag Chain. Like this:

Check Amazon for “Spiral Coil cable organizer”

I found and ordered the Drag Chain. Now all I need do is figure out what configuration I need to use it.

Hi,
I still have my 3000MW machine but haven’t used it since I bought an Omtech 60W
I found the Universal to be very finicky and difficult to get to do what I wanted. I got some fairly good results after checking every laser forum I could find. My conclusion was, get a real laser.
As I said check for any and all info you can find on this forum and otherwise for these machines. Practice and try everything and everything. There are some folks on the forum who have done miraculous engraving with 3 Watt lasers.
