3rd party laser modds

Has anyone modded the Snapmaker 2.0 to handle a more powerful laser? I am looking at htttps://www.endurance-lasers.com/ they offer a 10w laser that can cut through much more than the 1.6w that comes with the 2.0. It can go through 5mm plywood in 2 passes, it is totally worth the upgrade. I use LightBurn since Luban is weak to be polite. I’m just not sure of the modd and if it is biting off more than I can chew.

Other than the rumored 7W laser module from Snapmaker, no, no one to my knowledge has changed the laser

https://endurancelasers.com/ has a 10w that I’m drooling over. This would make the 1.6w a toy that comes with the 2.0. I never knew lasers were so useful until Snapmaker. I just wish they were robust.

I haven’t even started with the CNC, my mind might be blown!

dang… lol that is pretty sweet.

i wonder how it would play with the snapmaker exactly

i havent even touched the laser or cnc yet.

I presume you still use g-code or some variant on it - do you suppose this uses the same language?

It uses LightBurn just like the Snapmaker laser, and uses g-code.

That looks really cool! If it can be added to the Snapmaker I’d be very interested - following…
