The receptacle strip and its plugs that you will be connecting are all NEMA 5-15 based and are rated for 125V / 15A. The advice you heard about most PC power supplies being “240V rated” is in part due to the use of IEC C13 receptacles they have installed (250V rated). You have a lot of space to implement a better suited solution for 240V power distribution. I recommend a power distribution block or terminal block based solution.
The power board is probably not rated for 240V - the light behind the power switch could get too hot and cause it to melt/catch fire. You might want to power the computer/monitor directly or get a power strip from a country that uses 240V.
As I already requested, kindly Consider making a walk through video explaining the differences between a basic 3 axis router (mach3/step dir CNC router) and an advanced stuff like this laser Rig that you are building. That Controller Entirely seems like a different beast..! It also needs a motor for focusing head as you mentioned..! How the axis are wired and configured steps per unit/velocity/accel setup how the focus motor is getting configured and basic concepts...etc I really love to learn about all these.. If You could consider...Thanks..!
Hey, this monitor stand looks awesome, I’d totally love to have one! By the way, is that metal hole-filled tabletop your welding platform? Looks super handy!
Regarding the toolbox at 9:30..... GRIDFINITY boxes are your solution (Warning it is VERY addictive) I've recently got a 7 drawer toolbox and completely filled it with gridfinity binsit took a bit of time and 400$ including the toolbox and filament, but now at least half of what I got if sorted and easy to get to, AND now projects take about half as long, I don't buy components I already have etc and it's just soooo good looking ❤
Nice observation, I didn’t think of that…I think we’ll be ok though, since I only need to use the computer for setting up the cut file, after that I can stand out of the way and use the hand pendant to run the job.
I cant bring myself to throw any screws or bolts away, they all end up in the semi-misc drawers like yours. Ugly, but works for truly misc stuff. I wonder if there is any speed difference between the ethernet cable setup vs the serial or whatever it is?
I'm just checking. Did you put the two 24v supplies together. It's ok to split the block into two parts. But please don't run them together. On larger tools that have multiple 24v supplies they run a block of one supply and then another right next to it. So it would look like 24 positive and negative from supply one and then all the positive and negative for supply two. That separation will help you in the future if you need to find a problem. By having them both supply the same block you don't know how many amps are being used from them.
I would have wired the power lead for the mini computer power supply directly to the 240 instead of creating a 240 power strip. Does the tube exit the machine right at the operator's shins in the current monitor and keyboard position?
Boy, that 240 on a standard 120 outlet strip gives me the willies. If you forget and plug in anything that doesn't have a switching power supply, it's going to exploidio. The correct way to do this would be to go to a 4 wire system and get a cord and an outlet with the two hots and a neutral and gnd. Tap off on one of the phases from hot to neutral and have a safe 120 outlet strip. Other than that it's getting close!

This is my new favorite channel. Travis, you're killing it. Thanks for shariing.

Yes, it's a welding table...but I end up using it for lots of other things as well!
Looking good, I 3D print gridfinity boxes for all my hardware in my drawers.

Yes, I've seen the Gridfinity organizers...it looks nice, I just need to find the time to do the actual organizing! : /
You could use the door for additional space, obviously there would be some height limitations on the components
Good idea, perhaps I can mount the gas control system to the inside of the door?
Good job dear friend any idea of tube cutting software and hardware
I have a request.
Can you do 3D lasering? A pocket or...
Thanks
One observation, where you have the keyboard set up, the work piece will exit the machine between your legs. Not the best option.

Looking good! Keep it up!
Skyfire needs to make the installer in english as well
It's not up to them, it's a Raytools product.
Muito bom !

No, only one 24V power supply goes to the terminal block.

Can you upload a video of how to install windows OS on EPC2000 ?

I just plastered it with "240V" labels...so let's hope I don't ever make that mistake!
Love the videos - if you should ever consider changing the channel name, "OK, cool" comes to mind ;)
Haha...I love the idea!
io board is eds3000
Where did you get the tapping machine?
You’ve created a dangerous pitfall for your future self, and anybody else who wants to use that power strip. 110 volt plugs carrying 220V.
