Hi all,
Well, I succeeded in getting my 30W laser to print vectors! Very excited. However, I noticed the cut becoming intermittent after about 20 minutes (see attached image). I was concerned that it meant the laser needed to be recharged (not sure how to diagnose that), but then the stepper motors stopped in the middle of a job. I think maybe the power supply is the culprit. Does this sound right to you? Any idea what the power should look like coming out of the power supply?
Thanks in advance,
