I am in Canada and don't have a lot of extra money right now so free as opposed to $35 blast gate + more for connecting it (or wood which blocks 1/3 of my only source of outside light) sounds really...

I hope I can post files or this will be disappointing... I have been practicing living hinges and needed to hook up my laser to one of my garage windows to vent properly. I took out the glass, bought...

Hi Daniel,

Here are some samples of once I started to get a feel for the settings that work for our lasers. There is a min time per pixel that our machines are capable of and that will give you a...

Well things have come a long way in the past few weeks. If anyone else sees this and doesn't have photo quality results yet I would like to share a picture and a few tips. The most important thing to...

So I guess the process number is the priority that differentiates machine processing order within a given layer? That is odd to me why putting the image on a layer above or below the other items...

This isn't your size range but know that 50x30cm or maybe 6040 is the only size that fits through standard 36in doors. The 7050 size I have is just too big. They said it comes apart into the top and...

Let's see if this image showed up big enough to show it.... By top middle bar I mean the lower tool bar at the top of the screen in the middle of the toolbar.

One trick that has mostly solved my problem is to set the process number (top middle bar) on the image to 1. That will make it show up behind all the other graphics in rdworks. The process number...

http://www.iiviinfrared.com/ I believe I have the meniscus lenses from this company that came with my ray fine laser. They seem good quality and I think were about 25 usd each with my laser (so...

Joseph wins :) It indeed was a loose lens making doubles and screwing up the precision. Thanks guys! I just subscribed to photoshop and will try the gold method and we will see how that goes...

Thanks for the tip guys. I think I have narrowed down the problem a bit more. I noticed the bolts that tighten my belts were all loose and I have tightened those. The same time the excessive smoke...

So I have been happily cutting and engraving for a little while now and all of a sudden my engraving got sort of crystallized and there keeps being a bunch of sticky residue buildup on the cone even...

I know this is old but has anyone else figured this out? RdWorks obviously doesn't import transparency properly in .png files. .jpg files and bitmap don't have transparency I don't think. Transparent...

I forgot about that program. I have gotten more comfortable with F360 but it is obviously pretty limited and frustrating if you know how to use a real 3D CAD package. I think I might do a demo...

So with air assist is it kind of like too much pressure cools it down and not enough doesn't blow away all the smoke? Is more pointed flow better because it gets into the cracks deeper? I'm thinking...

I actually doubt that many people on this forum will wish they had a glowforge. I would expect the more experienced people would be even less interested in learning new software and getting a smaller...

Wouldn't it be more like Ferrari recommending that most races are won going 100 km/hr on average as opposed to maxing the machine out and crashing in the corners? The 500 DPI wasn't a min value but a...

I find it interesting that when I mentioned one specific measure my statement was then applied to the whole machine. If I am wrong about the engraving quality will someone please at least mention...

Erik do you know what mA range 8% to 75% is on your machine? Thanks for listing you temperature on the chiller. The default is 25C so I have been wondering what to set mine to. Did you test different...

I don't understand why there is any speculation in this thread at this point. They have the capabilities of their machines better documented technically and via projects from beta users than my...

I guess I'm not as worried about warranty as just treating the tube right since I can't afford to replace it right now! I would also tell the truth if asked which I guess is my problem lol.

However at the bottom of that page they mention the warranty being void if you go over 75% of some value and says refer to the manual. I have emailed them and asked for the manual.... I am rather...

That is the max peak current. The max continuous current is 25mA. It is in the second chart.

Speaking of tube power... do you guys recommend 80% of max continuous power or just less than or equal to max continuous power (so 25mA for EFR zs1250). I too have gotten confused by the %'s. For the...

Doug, does 100% on your tube give 25mA?

My honeycomb table didn't fit and so I have been emailing Blanca to fix it and I asked about recommended engraving settings out of curiosity. She said for...
