Thanks Rodney. Your points are valid indeed. However, the reason why those negatives (no pun intended) are of less importance to me at this particular phase, is b/c I do not need more than one of...

Thanks Rodney. Your points are valid indeed. However, the reason why those negatives (no pun intended) are of less importance to me at this particular phase, is b/c I do not need more than one of...
Hey all! I have a lot of experience working with epoxy resins, but not so much with making and casting into silicone or rubber molds. We don't ever duplicate existing "positives". I would like to...
As I recall, I asked Vytek a while back if it is possible to run more than one job automatically one after another, and the answer was no. Mine is a 5 yr old machine, it might be different on newer...
I am currently using cheap chinese lenses and it is just as good as the very expensive OEM ones. I had to do a little retro fitting, but the savings is too much to ignore.
Thank you Dee. Its not for everyone, but that coffee table has been a big hit with customers who are looking for rustic, yet elegant pieces. The shape is actually based on a tree.
I am still trying to improve my method and am playing around with Rhino 3D with the grass hopper plugin.
...you mean I am not the only crazy one out there? LOL Not sure what you are trying to build, but this was a monster project!

Thanks very much! I appreciate you initiating the email q. I called them and he will get back to me about if and how much for 101 mm focal length and 25mm diameter.
Rodney, where do you buy your $15 lenses? I emailed Shenhui couple days ago with no reply so far....
What kind of glue would you use to bond the lens and acrylic? I am thinking a CA (such as "crazy glue") type of glue perhaps? do you have a better suggestion?
Interesting. Yeah, I guess it wouldn't. ...except that my lens is held in place with screws at the edges. Would I glue the lens to the acrylic?
Thanks for the lead, but I only found 25mm mirrors, not lenses.
I had ordered from laser research in the past and have been very happy with them. However, I am reading about some folks paying sub $50 for their lenses. Laser research is about $150. I only found...
Sent you a PM.
Hi Mike, I have a vytek FXB 5151. I use laserworx and have not found another way to cut with the machine. However, the machine uses G-code and theoratically can use another software's g-code to...
I figured it out. when I am on wi-fi, I cannot access the site. however, when I turn off wifi and use my cell phones 3g connection, site works fine no problem. Put wifi back on, and it does not work...
I have not be able to load sawmillcreek.org at all for the past 10 days or so. today the page finally loaded. anybody else having any issues? I was sure the site was down since I tried from a...
Speaking strickly for my machine, assuming that the beam stays 100% center at all times at all places of the bed is a huge assumption, even when it IS set up correctly. My bed is pretty large (51x51...
Not sure if it was clear from that quote (from my old post) that I rotated NOT the original lens, but the new one I just got a day or two prior. This one only had one small spot on it (unlike the...
I had the same exact problem a few months ago. I was doing 3D carving and it was leaving bad lines, just like banding. As much as it didn't (and still doesn't) make any sense, it was the lense. I...
It could also be brazilian cherry (jatoba). Some of the lighter boards look similar. Another possibility is amendoim.
Laser Research also recommends acetone with a swab.
Last time my machine did that, it was a bearing.
Dan, thanks for the offer. I appreciate you willing to take the time to look at it, but unfortunately, its the only lens I got for cutting. What I did is rotate it within the lens holder (I dont...
I can't believe i forgot to add the picture in my first post. Here it is now.
Great idea Rodney! Although my immediate concern is if the air is not coming OUT OF the nozzle, rather sort of...
