The Laser4DIY Supply Unit contains all power supplies needed plus the water cooling system (pump, reservoir, radiator, fans).
Warning: mains voltage involved!
Electrical setup
The Laser4DIY engraver needs quite a few voltages:
- 15V: For the peltier elements
- 3.3V: For the pump diode (controlled by the laser driver)
- 12V: for the water pump, the fans, and the motors of the XY table
- 5V: TEC Controller, Laser Driver
- 24V: Safety relays
All circuit diagrams of the project can be found in this repository: https://github.com/Laser4DIY/Laser4DIY_Electrical
Assembly:
- Keep the electrical and the water cooling parts at an distance to each other. In our setup the water pump and the water tubing are on the left side and all electrical components are on the right side. All parts are mounted on the rack tray, so in case some water leaks and collects at the bottom of the enclosure, it won't touch electrical parts
- The safety switch is in a small extra enclosure connected with rubber hose cable. This way the supply unit can be placed e.g. under a table but the safety switch next to the laser engraver
- Mains power connector is at the back, key switch, sockets for the connecting cables are at the front
- Make sure all metal sides of the enclosure are connected to PE
Water Cooling
- Note on the used radiator (Coolstream PE 360): When installing the threaded couplings on it, be gentle. It seems, that the metal is really really thin around there and if you thread the hose-coupling in to deep, you rip it apart.

Customizing the ARLI Soho enclosure
In case you are using the ARLI Soho enclosure, you may want to use our custom plate for the back side. You find the DXF in our repository. To fit in the enclosure, you need to bend the sheet metal:
