See photo of "Factory Stock" to make sure your lens assembly matches mine.
Shipping:
I'm not very fast in shipping as I make these kits by hand one-by-one. My philosophy is to never stockpile any parts or kits pre-made. Less inventory means low overhead costs. That is the secret to the success of the oriental businesses- Kaison principle. I'm not oriental. My shop is in USA, and I'm an American. Good business sense is something I recognize and value. I make these as the orders come in. Allow 5 days to ship plus actual shipping time. All orders are sent via US Post Office.
How many tools do you need to install it?
One - a screwdriver.
Typical Battery Life:
3+ hour approximately. I use standard AA rechargeable batteries and charger purchased from local department store. You can cut alot of material etc in 3+ hours. You probably use your engraver for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. Batteries and charger not included.
This is a No Mod system. Simply screws in place. No drilling. No cutting. No changes to your Laser Engraver. Installs Quick and Easy.

Why is it called Laser Beetle?
The DC motor and propeller are specially designed to give maximum airflow. The propeller is made with this laser engraver and handcrafted with heat and a file to have a unique shape. The metal shell surrounding the DC motor and propeller allows air intake and funnels the airflow towards the focus point of the laser and blows out flames and clears smoke. The shape of the metal shell surrounding the motor looks like a beetle. When you want air assist- turn the switch on and it makes a bzzzzzzz sound that a small efficient motor should. Also with the laser head moving back and forth and up and down making your parts- it really is like a beetle scurrying around. Complete with professionally made top plate and beetle logo. Made with my very own Laser Beetle air assist kit installed on my 40 watt CO2 laser engraver- just like yours. You'll love this kit right down to the graphics.
This listing is for a kit containing a white plastic and black lettering top cover.
If you prefer a different color I do have a few other plastic sheets avail (Silver with black lettering, black with gold lettering, white with red lettering) The original color and style is just as pictured. If you prefer a diffrent color- let me know. Custom work is no problem at all.
Now my results have clean edges, and no charring, and no heat damaged edges.
Thanks to the little beetle which follows the laser cutting path.
Sincerely,
Dr Virago Pete
