A friend of mine wants some custom tap handles for a few of his regulars that he has on tap. I get a few free drafts in exchange. One down about five to go.
This is my first time using my home built laser. It’s a 2.5w diode. On some open builds rail. Eleksmaker mana controller.
Funny thing is I kept having issues where light burn would continue to send grbl to the controller but the laser would just turn off and motors would stop. I would have to unplug the machine and power it back up to see connectivity again. After a day of troubleshooting (thinking it was some EMI or something causing a reset - which didn’t make sense as lightburn was still throwing code at it) I swapped it the arduino nano and its been running fine ever since.
Here are the instructions I followed to build my laser (google leo69 2.8w mpcnc laser). I guess it is 2.8w however I was pretty conservative when figuring my driver so I may be a bit under driving it.
As far as sculpin goes it is an excellent beer. Goes great with spring bbq! They are up in San Diego, CA but have a brewhouse in multiple locations. One is in Chicago, IL (3 hours north of me). They have a few different ‘sculpin’ offerings including an ‘unfiltered’ and ‘grapefruit’ both of which are just as delicious as the regular. The sculpin fish logo is a bit too detailed for a lasered tap handle but I feel light burn did an amazing job dithering it.
