Laserscript user forum

That's good to know, I was expecting people to responds that magnets would do something horrendous to the machine possibly causing a rip in time and space etc which is why I hadn't tried but I will now. Thank you.

Hi all, and happy New Year, I am having real problems with keeping my materials in focus through the duration of a cut, I am mainly working with 3mm MDF and plastics and almost invariably the bottom left corner rises from the laser bed putting it out of focus and stopping the cut going all the way t...

Hi Nigel, For the really complicated stuff I gather you should use a proper CAD package but I find they are a complete black art. Personally I use Microsoft Visio for everything and haven't found it wanting yet (since I found how to do the shape mathematics stuff) simply save the file and then save ...

Dave, The tube isn't old at all, we only got the machine in the summer and only really started using it mid September. I'll check the water temp but it should be basically room temperature. It's on our list of jobs for this Thursday to get a freezer for the office so we can keep the temperature down...

This could possibly be the friendliest forum on the Internet 8-) Next time I am in the office I will go though all the cleaning and realigning mentioned in the other posts but I have one more (hopefully easy) question for the time being: Approximately how far below the physical laser hardware should...

Thank you for the responses, it's very reassuring to see that it would appear to be a setup issue rather than unrealistic expectations :) and that we can get such good help from this forum. 8-) I've checked that the laser goes throughthe final hole before the 45 degree mirror and it does, however it...
