I love this forum. Just searched for "Can not reset," found a post with the exact problem I'm having now, along with a solution.

I'm using the latest Mini driver from the Epilog driver site (which is 9.02). I know this because my driver screen has a check box for "send to manager" and 9.02 added compatibility for the Epilog...

Mike, that isn't the set up I was using to do color mapping. I split the file into the engraving+vector outlines and cutting. I seriously doubt that using the original file with color mapping is...

My settings file is attached (had to change the .DAT to .TXT to get it to upload). The picture that I posted before was just a small section. Both of those boards are the full 12" square file. So...

The file is attached. Disclaimer: this is a board game that I do not own the rights to. I got the original file for this from Thingiverse, and I'm trying to make a copy for my friend who is super...

I appreciate the offer Jerome, but I'm using CorelDraw and the Epilog driver...not RDCam.

I'm using X6 and the most current version of the Epilog Driver. Everything I could find on both Corel and the Driver said RGB...I couldn't find any mention of CMYK.

That being said, I've punted...

I am trying to engrave/cut a file consisting of two parts on my Epilog Mini 24. (For those of you keeping score, this is the same file that I was trying to get to work with color mapping.) The...

Well, if that covers all the steps, then it just confirms that I'm doing it right. Wonder what is wrong, then. I'm going to fiddle with it some more later today.

Thanks for the suggestions. I double checked that I'm in RGB mode in Corel, and I changed the vectors to hairline. This had no effect on the problem. I changed the two vector colors to combined...

Denatured alcohol and sterile gauze/cotton swabs for cleaning lenses and mirrors.

I'm trying to engrave and cut some game pieces for a friend on 1/8" plywood. The design has raster fill, vector outlines, then vector cut shapes. I have set the file up for color mapping using blue...

It should be possible just by using a signal from the Trotec to switch a relay rated for the current draw of the dust collector. The problem will be tracing down a signal on the Trotec control board...

That being said, it could be 1000 VA (not VAC) which stands for volt-amps, and if you ignore power factor, is the same thing as watts.

TL; DR Version: If you are using the LG500 stand that came with your laser, get your laser off it immediately.

Just a cautionary tale for those of you who may own a GWeike LG500 from Automation...

This. The ones from Epilog are fairly reasonably priced. Certainly less than the trouble that you seem to be going through to make your own.

I love how the "S test" is a thing now. I admit, knowing what I know now, that my original test wasn't a fair comparison between the two machines. But I still thing it would be a great resource to...

I'll try the 0.5" test on the LG500 when I get the exhaust re-configured, but for now, it is down. But I ran a LOT of test pieces to get the name plates to look as good as they did in the first...

Well, that's useful information. The default in LaserWorks is 0.5mm, and as you can see in my comparison photo, I ran this one at .1mm. I never made the connection between that parameter and dpi. ...

As far as I know, I don't think you can set the dpi on LaserWorks software that comes with the Chinese lasers. According to Ross, it's about 250 dpi. If so, then it is the default and the max. The...

Is there any danger to ducting with PVC? I thought most laser companies recommended sheet metal ductwork because of the possibility that hot embers could make their way into the duct.

I don't know where the condescension is coming from because that is the first time I have heard those figures, from you or anybody. Plus, running the Chinese laser at 300+ mm/s makes it shake pretty...

I'm not sure what you're asking. Total time to engrave/cut a nameplate? On the LG500 it takes about 15-20 minutes depending on the length of the name. On the Mini, it takes about 3-5 minutes. 70%...

Any particular reason you need a 1 hp compressor with a 6.3 gallon tank to provide 30 psi air to a 1/8" nozzle on the laser head? The only thing I'm concerned about with the airbrush compressor is...

It is Rowmark LaserMax, black on white. The GWeike has less than 100 hours of run time on it, and the settings used on it were the best looking of MANY test runs. It really does look passable for a...
