The wiring continues, Z max, min and door microswitches were soldered up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I wanted to have some internal lighting in the laser cutting area. I had some white 12V LED light strips<\/a>, that I had bought some time back for some of my RC models, from Hobby King<\/a> for \u00a32.49.<\/p>\n

I cut the 1m strip in half and then wired them in series to make a 24V strip, these were then installed inside the extrusion at the front and back of the lid opening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The high voltage line was wrapped around the positive terminal of the laser tube and then held in place with hot glue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The same was done for the negative terminal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The water flow sensor was spliced into the return water pipes and is held in place by a cable tie to one of the upright pieces of profile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The extension cables for the network, USB and the connector between the DSP front panel and its I\/O box were installed and held in place with some cable ties.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Several areas of cable management are helped by using set screws and drop in t nuts to provide binding posts for cable ties, like in the corner of the frame shown above to secure the network\/USB extension cable,<\/p>\n

in the first picture in this post, a couple are being used to route the Z max microswitch wiring,<\/p>\n

and in the picture below to create a makeshift cable tray.<\/p>\n
