<\/a><\/div>\nNo software or instruction manuals, but then I have already downloaded all of these from the Sinjoe<\/a> website anyway.<\/p>\n A number of years back I bought a bunch of modular power barrier strips from RS<\/a> which can be built up into any configuration you want from 2 to 200 connections, although in reality you would probably not want to go much wider than about 20 pairs of connections as it only secures at the ends.<\/p>\n I originally bought these for wiring my Beach Buggy<\/a>, but had quite a few left over.<\/p>\n These comprise the following items: These are intended for use with 3.5mm ring<\/a>\u00a0or spade terminal connectors which can potentially be stacked back to back or in combination with the tag connectors.<\/p>\n For the 220\/240V power I thought that 4 rows for each of Live, Neutral and Earth should be sufficient<\/p>\n I used 4 x 3 row, 1 x jointing, 2 x end fix and 9 x\u00a0Slotted Jumper<\/a>\u00a0pieces to bus each of the 4 rows together to produce the required connector block.<\/p>\n This then just happened to be the same spacing as between 2 of the 20×20 extrusions in the electronics side of the laser cutter.<\/p>\n The 24V PSU in this picture is not yet secured in place and may yet be positioned sideways.<\/p>\n The power rail has therefore cost me \u00a310.00 ($15.50) inclusive of VAT, which whilst not as cheap as a 15A terminal block from a high street store (\u00a32.00\/$3.10), it is suitable for up to 15A at 750V and is far easier to bus terminals together without effectively clogging up one side of the terminal block with wires of a suitable gauge for 220V.<\/p>\n Plus, since I bought these barrier strips 10-15 years back, I effectively wrote off the cost ages ago.<\/p>\n I intend to replace the current printed mounts for the high voltage PSU as they do not really require ‘tags’ for the orientation I have used, the DSP Controller box will be mounted in a similar fashion on the same rails but towards the front of the laser cutter as shown here.<\/p>\n Unfortunately I have run out of blue filament and my usual supplier is currently out of stock, so these new mounts will have to wait a while.<\/p>\n I have also received a 1mm inductive NPN 6-36V proximity sensor from ebay<\/a> seller sellerbible<\/a> that cost me \u00a32.48 ($3.85) with free P&P.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
