does the arduino interface or replace the ruida controller? I've got a bunch a various arduinos here and writing to them is not difficult once you are setup properly.
Has anyone used Cermark LMM14 or any other marking solution on iron? I found a PDF that includes iron as a compatible substrate. I have a one-off request to do a shot put ball and don't have any...
Just found this at Johnson Plastics. Not exactly what I need but figured I'd post it here for future reference.
Does anyone have experience cutting flexible sheet magnet material with a co2 laser? The goal is to cut customer-requested shapes from these "car magnet sheets" then sub a graphic on to them. ...
Can anyone recommend a supplier for half-decent quality stainless and/or brass standoffs. Looking for a variety of sizes and of course responsive shipping time and reasonable shipping rates (I'm...
Kev, (or anyone) have you managed to figure out how to get a clean mark on this line of plastics? I find that if I make VERY light passes on the Contours (thinnest) material I get a nice mark but...
Hello, does anyone have any tips for laying down Duets Contours material on a sheet of acrylic (or any material for that matter) as smoothly as possible? I'll be laying a piece approximately 22"x18"...
Not overkill to me, I want to provide the best product for my customer and my reputation is important to me. Lookup JDS alum901 and alum909. The laser settings I used on both are the same and the...
Could it be this simple? ... Automotive Enamel in a can
Thanks for the info guys. I think the info is good but doesn't apply since I'm lasering off the coating. I have just lasered samples of my customer's sign on both "indoor" and "outdoor" anodized...
I found only three posts here when searching for Piranha FX so either I'm searching incorrectly or this is not a very popular machine. Does anyone have any experience with it that could be shared? ...
JDS sells both "indoor" and "outdoor" anodized aluminum. Does anyone have experience with using either of these, laser engraved, outside? I don't understand what would be different. Thanks! -Brett
I had the same problem. The fix is in the 'user' settings in rdworks. There is a minimum speed setting there. You have to then set your speed for 1mm/s over that to get the laser to fire. Sorry, I'm...
I assume that you tried lower power/faster speeds. What did those results look like? Thanks.
I've used this dry moly with good results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CSXJA3A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used this method (with plain copier paper - all I had) and was able to see the problem. Thank you! I leveled the tube and realigned the mirrors and am getting a straighter cut. Not perfect but...
It's definitely more pronounced on two sides. The other two sides appear to be splayed outwards, opposite each other at the bottom of the piece looking down, which I would think would be indicative...
Convex side down seems to have given slightly better results but I'm going to run convex side up for a while to do more testing. Table is dead flat. Not sure how to re-angle the beam other then to...
Lens was installed with convex side down - towards table. I thought it was supposed to be convex side up towards laser and flat side down towards table (?).
I just took off the cone. No joy, same cut profile. Looking at the lens though now for the first time. It appears to have been installed "hastily", go figure. Looking for some bent needle nose to...
Hello,
Hoping someone can help with this problem. I’m cutting 1/4" cherry and getting through the board with no problem using many different speed and power setting combinations. The problem is...
I was wondering if someone that has Sketchup Pro (or an import extension that works) could import a simple vector drawing I have in Corel so I can use it in Make. I can export it into any number of...
Martin, did you use a rotary attachment for that? Thanks.
Seann, did you use the LMM6000 or LMM14 formula?
