It is very easy to setup an Endurance laser on almost any 3D printer or CNC machine.

Takes less than 60 minutes to setup. Usually something like 15 minutes

• Depending on your printer, add a header to the Endurance laser terminals. This will connect in place of your extruder’s heater.
• If you have a CNC tool with a spindle, rather than a 3D printer, the Endurance laser Assembly CNC (link) instructions show how to switch between laser and spindle.
• Mount the Endurance laser on your extruder, either by screws or zip ties.
• Lower the Z-axis. If you have a kickstand, lower it in place.
• Screw the lens assembly on the bottom of the laser module almost all the way out — it should not come off (if it does, just screw it back in a little). Make sure it is fully extended.
• Put your protection plate on the print bed, if you have one. If you don’t have one, make sure to get yourself a protection plate because the laser can and will damage your device’s build plate.
• With protection goggles on, disconnect your printer’s extruder and connect the Endurance laser.
• Send the M104 S100 command to your printer (or otherwise turn on the extruder). The laser will light up. If it doesn’t, switch the + and — contacts around; the extruder heater is resistive, so there is no standard configuration for it. The Endurance laser has a protection diode and is safe to connect backwards, although it won’t work, so just try again with the connector flipped!
• Use the crown on the bottom of the laser assembly to focus the laser by screwing the lens back in. The optimal focal distance is 3 to 4 inches, depending on your printer or CNC setup. We recommend using a piece of paper or cardboard as the target — when you see smoke, your laser is focused!
• Send the M104 S0 command to turn the laser off!

Laser power supply

All Endurance lasers work from 9 – 16V.
If you have 24V power output on your 3D printer or CNC router – let us know and we will ship you step-down “buck” DC/DC converter.
