Heaven help me - I've just bought a delta kit :-)

[curious aardvark]

got sidetracked by work.
Looks like the motherboard connector kicks out 7 volts.
My mini-engraver machine is 5 volts as it's powered by usb ports.

So figured I'd look around and see if there were any cheap 500 or 1000mw 3 pin lasers on the chinese vendor sites.
plus why i have the gcode to switch the printer to non-printer mode. Can't figure the code to turn it back to printer mode.
Not a big issue i can just turn the printer off and on again. Just be more elegant to do it in the gcode.

If I find a 3 pin connector I'll maybe plug it in, but I'd prefer one that was already setup for the board.

Oh yeah was thinking about the arms. How well are the balls attached to the shafts ?
If just glue they could easiyl work loose over time. So was thinking why not print a piece that captures the ball with a shaft that glues into the end of the carbon tube for a much more secure connection.
this kind of thing:
