I would probably say no on the raw steel, but no harm in letting them try and prove us wrong!

edit: They do have a selection of primers that are suppose to be geared towards certain materials. I...

I haven't really had time to try out everything yet (I have a pile of ToDo testing that I feel like I may never get to with how busy things can be). Any metals with lacquer (tested with stainless...

When researching for my purchase I heard lots of stories of downtime, troubleshooting, and fixing of the large bed printers. I wasn't looking to purchase a large bed but I knew a few people who did...

Might have to do it twice, once for fills once for outlines. Can't remember how accurate the...

Tim,

My Fibermark is the older model, not the newer Fusions they have now. I purchased it in 2008, 12" x 24" table, 20W machine. It worked pretty well, mostly did part marking and brass plates. On...

I agree with Mr. Shepherd... I actually have a 400 Flexx and he is spot on. I have a 30w and for what I do it is plenty, the 50w was just too big of a price jump for my needs to make it worthwhile....

Like Jeffrey said, check out the Trotec help thread it on here, there is an abundance of great information for setup/operation in there. The Flexx 400 is a beast and I love mine, it has turned into a...

I did this recently. Bought the exact chuck that came on my epilog rotary and had an adapter machined so it fit on my Trotec. My epilog rotary is for a first generation Fibermark, not sure if they...

I'm not 100% sure it will be the same, I only have a rotary for my Flexx400, not the speedy 300. I had a few parts custom made for me, and my machinist said the thread was M10 x 1.5 pitch, I didn't...

I agree with Gary, be sure to have some type of shut off gate, I have a guillotine gate setup for each laser. For your diagram, I would put it near the Y split is for best efficiency. I have 4 lasers...

The only real custom one I wrote works with the print merge in Corel. I set parameters like material sheet size, if I want cut lines, any spacing between plates in x or y direction, boxes around each...

I have a wholesale source near me (Chicago), but what do you plan to do after the pieces are cut? The type of aluminum and anodizing will affect the quality of the engraving it produces. I usually...

I currently have a Flexx 400 and had a demo unit of a Fusion 40 for a few months before that. Like others have said, both have some strong and weak points, but if you have a question about something...

I have a Flexx400 so not identical to what you were asking, but in my situation the alignment was dead on for both sources. I was worried about the same thing, but was able to test one day when...

When setting up a backup computer I was going to test and see if I could set two machines up on a computer. I'm not sure if there is a work-around for it, but it seemed it had to be using Com1 or...

I had this issue a few weeks ago, depending on the mug manufacturer it changes the heat time immensely. I did mugs a few weeks ago, and 300 seconds was about right, good color and image. Did another...

Briefly gave it a shot with a few samples I received from PDU. They gave me this sheet with recommended settings and told me they can fill with shoe polish.
I did like how you can get the halftone...

Hi Dan,

I briefly looked into the Trotecs, but having no personal experience and don't anyone near me that has owned one except on these forums didn't look too hard.
I'll give them another shot,...

Hi Joe,

I guess I should have been more specific, but I hate making extremely long posts unless I'm giving advice to someone else!
The reason I would go with that dual setup is to use the 30 watt...

Let me start off by saying this group is awesome, everyone is friendly and willing to help and give advice on just about anything, from beginner tips to those advanced trade secrets many people other...
