Hi Dave, Thanks for this pointer. In fact, I did have the 6090 install software, and I ended up realising didn't need to install anything else! Looking at Devices > USB, I saw that the newer dongle is called Senselock Elite4 2x [0303] and the older one is listed separately, and is called Senselock S...

Hello! I have a question about Lasercut5.3 dongles. I have two HPC lasers, a 3060 and a Laser One (6090). I set up the 3060 first. Then, I started using the 6090, Setup was straightforward. I simply cloned the whole of my copy of Windows XP (which lives in a virtual machine) and copied the 6090 soft...

Hi All, Anyone got some good cut settings for thin suede or very fine leather? This afternoon I spent two hours testing some very, very thin suede. (around 1.25mm) It cuts, but as soon as the laser strikes it, it shrinks. So you need a VERY low power setting. I've ended up with 15% power (60W) 15mm/...

Unh! Yes, indeed! It is that obvious. I accidentally hit "SET LOGIC ORG" on the keypad. That means "Set logical origin" which does that. Going into "CANCEL LOGIC ORG" on the keypad and pressing "Yes" sorts the machine out again. It's only taken me five years t...

Hello All, Here's a new one on me. One of my 3060s now insists on starting every cut from the top right. It doesn't matter whether I set a design to "immediate" mode or leave the box unticked for "absolute" positioning. It ALWAYS returns to the top right to start the next job. I'...

Hi Rog, Another couple of tips: (1) Cut some perspex rectangles, about 20mm x 50mm, with a 3mm slot in the middle. Slot them together in pairs, and you have cross-shaped things which you can use to raise your workpiece off the bed. I use about 10 X's, and I seldom need to replace them. Obsessives ma...

Hello All, Today I had a new issue, which I've not seen in more than five years of lasering. Lasercut kept making files that my 3060s wouldn't engrave. Sometimes, press "test" and the file beeps "out" - it's asking the machine to engrave or cut outside the bed size. Once I genera...

Hi Dave,

Interesting! I have lots of questions!

What new mainboard is recommended?
What does the mainboard upgrade do for you?
How much does it cost?
Does it unlock software other than Lasercut?
Does HPC supply this upgrade?
Will they fit it?
How much?

Cheers!

James

Hi All, I use a setup whereby I run Windows inside Virtualbox, which is very up-to-date. Recently I've been experiencing nasty Lasercut 5.3 crashes. When I say nasty, they're the worst type. Instant black screen, laptop unusable and completely insensible (not just unresponsive to keystrokes - also u...

Thanks Dave! I've messed around with intermediate powers, and yes, I can get a good cut at 60-odd percent, but not every single time with every single colour. Branded perspex is exactly what I'm using, but I've been a smidge generous with the power just because a few colours really don't like to cut...
