Many people like to use a gamepad or controller to move the CNC router around to position it for zeroing out the axis before a job, or moving it out of the way to put down a new workpiece. I have a few left over instruments from my RockBand days, so I decided to use that! 😀

This video walks you thru how to set it up and hopefully inspires you to use a unique controller of your own! 🙂

I used the following links to help get this idea off of the ground! Hopefully they can help you too!

DIY Rotary for the K40 LaserDIY Rotary for the K40 Laser

After many requests, I have finally put together a guide to make your own rotary module for your K40 laser engraver! This is a surprisingly simple build and will undoubtedly be the best accessory you will have for your K40! While there are 3D printed parts in this project, I have listed alternatives for those pieces so access to a printer is not entirely necessary.

If you are looking to get a Glowforge Laser, you can use my referral code to get: $600 off a pro, $300 off a plus, or $150 off a basic! I’ll get credit too!

For a Laser that has an even BIGGER cutting capacity and MORE cutting power than the K40 or Glowforge AND still cheaper than the Glowforge. (Sometimes these can come with Rotarys as well, just be sure to double check)
