    Hope you're putting lots of miles on your bike this summer.
    Oh matt I left at 0600 and got home about 1200 with about a buck50 on it. It was a military escort and service so not a lot of miles for that time.

    Hopefully it wasn't expensive Scotch and your screen needed a good wiping.

    According to what I found on CNC Zone the new Glow Forge users are finding out about the temperature limit cut off of their machines the hard way.

    I think that would depend on the ambient temperature.

    From what I understand it just does not just pause the machine at 75 DegF water temp it also crashes the software and project your running.

    That's a huge difference and much worse than just temporarily pausing the project for a period of time, then allowing the project to continue.

    I haven't been following closely, but I did read a recent post where a Basic user ran a 2-hour "print", received a temperature message, cooled down for a few minutes, and them ran another 2-hour "print".

    I believe GF adjusted the temperature setting, and it also now pauses when it hits its limit. This was through a cloud firmware update.

    They are trying to program the software to pause but it isn't ready yet. When the software is ready it will pause until the temp goes below 75 degrees f. some are complaining that they use it in a garage where the temp is higher than that and they can't run the laser.

    How long are tubes going to last running at 75 degree's
