How do i get a Air Pump from a Creality Falcon 2 with a Circular connection to work with a Falcon 10wat laser, i though i could run a 24 line what the electomagnetic do not activate the diaphragm

Hi Hugh

I believe Creality has a custom connector that requires a Falcon 2 motherboard to work.

I dont think you can - easily - give it 24v unless you rewire it.

thanks i was looking how to rewire so that i dont have to worry about the circular connector cause i think there is a trigger in the 3rd pin , but the confusion comes from when i opened the pump there are 2 wires in but even it i swapped the the wires with a 24v power super direct i get a connection but no moven on the diaphragms, but on the falcon 2 there is no issue

THe problem is we are uncertain on what makes these “tick”
is it a modulated signal from the motherboard, a form of PWM? or a simple DC signal

Given the wiring i see it shouldnt be a simple 24v DC in signal

thanks so what do you suggest i do or try, if i had an open air assist for 10watt i think would make life so much easier

Hard to tell if I am honest.

I would reach to Creatity support to understand if they could advise on how to connect them. Maybe they have hardware that could work?

I am certain too the midnHive here on the forum will propose other alternatives.

Hi there,
I ended up with the same problem, got a second hand Falcon 10w with an air assist with the 3 pin connector (so for a Falcon2 if I understand right). How did you convert it for your Falcon 10? What did you use? Could I bother you with some diagram? Thanks!
