I got the mini k40 (would not do that again). It works great, but I didn't know it at the time that I would be getting a weaker laser. I was about a week too late learning about tube sizes being the better way to know the true wattage.
I have done a series of upgrades and then re-dos. So hopefully you can learn a few things from all my tinkering.
Analog Milliamp Meter
I bought this meter. I followed this link for the install.
Exhaust
I initially went with an inline 3" bilge pump that had a corresponding 3d printed exhaust mount. It was ok, but in the end I just wasn't good enough when I started cutting more leather/wood.
So I went a little overboard, but I am glad I did. I went with this blower instead. I made my own 3D printed mount for it. I printed 2 adapters for the blower to fit 4" ducting and then routed it up and outside my garage.
I also removed the small internal duct thing prior to installing the new exhaust. it gives me a little more cutting room as well.
Air Assist
I went with the Light to Object head and bought a new lens to fit it.
Drag Chain
I bought a 10x10 drag chain off amazon. I had originally printed one, it was ok, but I recently switched up the mounting of the drag chain to run along the X gantry which gave me a little more room to cut.
Laser Aim Assist
I made a mash of 2 different thingverse designs to hold 2 red line lasers and where they intersect is my laser beam. It works well, I made it this way originally when I had an adjustable table. Honestly, now I should switch back to a single red dot, but I am too lazy. The two lines will sometimes move on me so I end up having to do a test fire every so often to ensure they are lined up properly.
Spring Loaded Adjustable Bed
I followed this guide
Hopefully this helps you out a bit.
