I have always bought cast acrylic as I was told it is more consistent in thickness than extruded, on a recent critical job, pieces were not fitting and I mik'ed the thickness and it was all over the...

Caution
Do not put pumpkins in your laser. Tried it last year, the pumpkin blood was a mess to cleanup.
Does anyone know of a material that is like foam-core for mounting photographs, but is not PVC based. I have a client that wants material mounted on foam-core laser cut and am looking for a...
Thanks to everybody, once again I got my 6 bucks worth. The links were just what I was looking for and I even have suppliers for a couple of sources in the neighborhood.
Thanks again

The laser is working, (right now!, playing catchup). It turns out that the early versalaser 30 wt (2.3) had a cable that was not keyed. I must have put in in the wrong way, ( I mean if it fits in...
I've only flame polished acrylic cut on a router, do I still need to sand and steel wool the pieces before polishing? I would think not as the edge is clean, I just need to round the sharp edges, and...

The good news:
Finally got to talk to a senior guy at ULS tech support, who explained it was a software problem. The control panel has a function called tuning, that controls when the laser fires...
changed lenses, tightened everything, new tube in today and still the same, new drive gear and idler coming tomorrow, then it's time to ask about a new controller. I should be upset, but I have...

We've had a Multimate 3000 sitting on the floor for sometime now, unused. I got it up and running, and have even cut a few files, 2d and 3d. Now that I have the ability to change bits on the fly,...
I got ahold of ULS tech support this morning, and they are sending out new belts, new rollers and new bearings, all as warranty items even though my year was up in April. Should be here in the...
I'm in, great stuff. Thanks to ULS!
Forgot to mention that, yep, but good call, I've been there before.
I am getting a double image from my versalaser 30Wt. When I had the problem before it was always something slipping in the drive train, belt loose, drive gear loose, etc. I have replaced the belt,...
Actually, I ordered a cutting table from Mike today, and will limp by with a peg table I cut on the cnc machine till it arrives. Luckily there were three of us in the shop, one of my guys came and...
