→Co2 Laser Implant Sealer

One day, the idea came up to build a laser sealer to seal custom implants.

The people on the Dangerous Discord were very helpful, and together we polished the project and then started ordering parts.

Special thanks to: Satur9, DonFire, Miana, Amal, EriQuiet, and SilentPotat0 from the Biohackers Digital Discord

CO2 laser tube for a DIY laser sealer, designed for crafting and sealing glass implants in biohacking projects.

Everything started with this Vevor 50W CO2 laser tube from AliExpress. It came with the power supply. I got some silicone tubing and an aquarium pump for the cooling loop.
I dropped the pump into a canister of distilled water and added some car antifreeze because the basement gets cold in winter.

New higher-precision lathe for enhanced accuracy in DIY biohacking projects, used for crafting and modifying implants.

The old lathe was not running smoothly so i got a better one

This Arduino seen below was used to drive the lathe but i quickly replaced it with this stepper controller

the housing is a clementine crate from the supermarket

Resin 3D-printed holder designed for Schott bioglass, used in DIY biohacking and implant projects for secure placement and precision.

EriQuiet designed those glass tube holders so i no longer need to put them in the metal chuck directly

Seals turned out nice, i was happy with the results

At this point i was ready to build some implants!

If you want your own electronics sealed in glass by my laser, hit me up. The glass we have has an inner diameter of 2.1 mm, and the electronics can’t exceed a length of 15 mm.
