The last three options (RAMPS, Smoothie, GRBL Shield) are a bit open on the software end. The Chinese DSP option is probably the best end-to-end solution, as like the Moshiboard, it uses its own software (which is much improved over Moshi) and often has an ethernet connection to allow for remote operation, or a USB slot for operation off of a thumb drive. The CNC Shield runs GRBL, which is pretty simplistic but then, so is a K40. Replace the controller with an Arduino/CNCShield - This is probably the cheapest option, since you can pick up the hardware for less than twenty bucks if you shop around.The biggest drawback is the firmware - Since there's no laser cutter specific firmware out there, folks have been tweaking Marlin to drive the K40, which mostly works, but gets a bit weird at times. Replace the controller with a RAMPS board: This has been a popular option for 3D printer users who are familiar with the hardware.

LightObject has a few ready-made upgrade kits with different models of DSP with different levels of capability. A lot of the DSPs on the market are ethernet capable, so you can have your machine running LaserCAD, LaserCut, or RDWorks away from your laser, and send jobs to it via network, or on USB keys.

Replace the controller with a Chinese DSP: This option is probably the most expensive, but the most "plug and play" - You'll install a controller that makes your laser more or less a standalone unit.

Ripping out and replacing the guts isn't very difficult from a mechanical standpoint, as these machines, by and large, aren't complicated to work with.

If you want to use alternative software, your only option is to replace the brains of your cutter. He is co-author of "Maker City: A Practical Guide for Reinventing American Cities" with Peter Hirshberg and Marcia Kadanoff.There isn't unfortunately anything aside from MoshiDraw and the relevant Corel Draw plugins that will talk to the control board in your laser. He believes that the Maker Movement has the potential to transform the educational experience of students and introduce them to the practice of innovation through play and tinkering.ĭougherty is the author of “Free to Make: How the Maker Movement Is Changing our Jobs, Schools and Minds” with Adriane Conrad. In 2011 Dougherty was honored at the White House as a “Champion of Change” through an initiative that honors Americans who are “doing extraordinary things in their communities to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world.” At the 2014 White House Maker Faire he was introduced by President Obama as an American innovator making significant contributions to the fields of education and business.
