The Two Trees TTS-55 comes with a free copy of LaserGRBL and a 30-day trial of LightBurn. You can use any soft cloth for cleaning eyeglasses. If it’s allowed to become dirty, the laser will lose some of its capability. It’s a good idea to wipe it clean – while powered off and unplugged – before each laser session. The laser lens can get dirty from smoke and fumes. The list of no-nos includes plastics, fiberglass and certain foams. Dallas Maker Space has published a list of safe and hazardous materials to use with their laser. Some materials should not be burned with a laser due to their chemical makeup – they could melt, catch fire or produce toxic fumes. We’re using a piece of $20 fireproof cement board from the hardware store that covers the entire counter. Comgrow sells a honeycomb panel with an aluminum plate (opens in new tab) made specifically for diode lasers. This is an open frame device and does not come with a base and should be placed on a fireproof surface. A ventilation system is not included with this machine – you will need to either operate the machine in a garage, or provide a separate system to remove smoke from the room. Since the laser is literally burning material, never allow it to operate unattended and have a fire extinguisher handy just in case.
Prevent pets and other people from observing the laser while in use. Because of this gap, you must always wear safety glasses that protect you from light of the 455 nm (blue) wavelength. The TTS-55 is equipped with a transparent safety shield over the laser module, however there is a slight gap between the shield and the material. Use this and any other laser at your own risk. You must take precautions to operate the machine safely. It also produces smoke and fumes while engraving or cutting materials. The Two Trees TTS-55 is a Class 4 laser that can damage your eyes and burn skin. Safety Precautions for the Two Trees TTS-55 These aren’t marked, so it's a good idea to watch the video so they are all pushed into the correct sockets. The final step is plugging in the four wire connectors.

The tubes are strapped onto the frame using handfuls of small zip ties. The wires are already inside lengths of black tubing and connected to the motherboard. Now I was ready to screw the laser module into place, attach the motherboard’s case to the frame and run the wires. A second set of hands is really helpful here. Then you loop the timing belt around the stepper motor gear on the Y-Axis and screw the whole thing into place with long bolts that come up from the bottom. The X gantry is the fun part – I had to slide the laser’s carriage onto a fifth aluminum extrusion, then pull the timing belt into place inside the tensioner. Next, I mounted the feet with two screws each.
The first thing I had to do was assemble the rest of the frame by bolting the two Y-axis onto the X-axis, forming a square. The pulley blocks are already mounted on the X-axis, and the timing belts are pre-threaded.
