Assembly Instructions

Follow the steps below to assemble your Ortur Laser Master 3. Refer to the video tutorial for visual guidance.

1. Assemble the Frame: Place the four sides of the frame on a flat surface. Ensure the rear assembly (with the YRR switch) is correctly oriented.
2. Attach Side Rails: Thread the Y-axis motor wire through the left and right slideways. Secure them to the front and rear assemblies using the provided M4*8mm screws and a six-angle wrench.
3. Install X-axis Profile: Insert the X-axis profile into the middle of the left and right guide slideways. Ensure the pulley of the X-axis enters the groove smoothly.
4. Install Belts: Take the belts, ensuring the serrated side is inside and the smooth side is outside. Hang the belt on the drive gear of the Y motor (hidden at both ends of the rear assembly). Clip the two idler pulley assemblies into the slots under the left and right slideways, then hang the other end of the belt on them. Tighten the idler assembly with screws.
5. Connect Circuit Group: Take one end of the circuit group and connect it to the mainboard connector. Secure the wire with a cable tie to the edge of the slideway. Insert the interface marked with 'X' into the X-axis motor connection port.
6. Attach Laser Head: Screw the air assist to the laser head (note: air assist is only for cutting and can be removed for engraving). Install the orange protective cover to avoid laser eye injury. Insert the thumbscrew into the hole on the right side of the laser head and fix the laser head on the up and down adjustment device of the X-axis assembly. Connect the laser wire to the laser head.
7. Install Limit Screws: Fix the two M3*6mm limit screws on the inner side of the left and right slideway to prevent collision and damage to the laser head during operation.
8. Connect Wi-Fi Aerial: Screw the Wi-Fi aerial onto the left side of the front assembly.
9. Power Connection: Insert the USB wire and power adapter into the front assembly.
