New Speedy has arrived

[Brian J Rogalny]

Finally got new laser but not without problems.

[Ronald Erickson]

Did you mean to tweet this, or are the details forthcoming and this is just a teaser? ;)

[Brian J Rogalny]

Going to wait and see how Trotec responds.259906

Brian, where is the laser?
You posted pictures of Atmos exhaust systems, Is that all you received?

No wonder it cuts so slow...

[Brian J Rogalny]

It keeps telling me file is to large, always had trouble putting pictures on here.

[Scott Shepherd]

If you can't figure out how to post photos, you're in trouble with the laser. I'll just come get it now to save you any headaches in the future. I can be there by dinner time :p

[Richard Rumancik]

Brian, you posted one pic so you must have the general idea. The problem you are having is with size so what you need to do is resample the photo down so that it is lower than the maximum the site allows. If you take a picture with a digital camera and it says (in Photopaint) that it is 72 dpi and 39" wide (maybe 2848 pixels), resample it so it is 72 dpi and 5" wide or about 360 pixels (for example). Then post that picture.

(If you need to resample photos for lasering you need to be more fussy about the procedure so you would need to read up on the topic so you don't damage the image quality with resampling. But for quick posts it is not that important.)

Jpg files are limited to 107kb and 1200 pixels wide. If you resize the files to 1024 x 768 you should be able to upload them without issue.

[Ronald Erickson]

It looks very familiar to me. (Here's the thread I posted when mine arrived :) http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?193603-Trotec-Speedy-300-80-watt-arrived)

So what issues are you having? (besides lifting it... it's a beast!)

[John Salitsky]

NICE!!

I'm running a 13 year old Universal 30 watt with a 12 x 24 table. Probobly about the same in size. I have a second one that is currently not working and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

[Jiten Patel]

I got my loan speedy 300 yesterday. Was unloaded by the amazing delivery drivers and put into place. Had a days training today which was extremely thorough and covered almost everything we needed. Lots to play around with to fine tune what we want. Cannot wait to get my teeth into this thing...not literally though!

Relief mode....is great stuff too!

[Brian J Rogalny]

Trotec so far has done the right thing, overnighted missing piece

[John Salitsky]

Nice! Great customer service is huge plus.

Finally got new laser but not without problems.


WHAT WERE THE PROBLEMS ????? besides not being able to load photos !

[Brian J Rogalny]

training day tomorrow with Josh, lets see what this baby can do.

[Brian J Rogalny]

Great weekend of training, thanks Josh Stephens I learned a lot. Thanks Steve Shepherd for taking that long ride. This machine is a beast.

Yes, it is a beast! Great to spend some time with Brian, his son, and Josh as well. Brian didn't just make a little move, he made a big move. Switched brands, got a new computer, got X6 (from X4), put a network switch in to get all his computers networked, and probably a few more new things. So he's got a lot going on, a lot to try and understand and figure out all at one time. It was my first look at X6 and I must say, they've made some changes that made it tough for me to figure out a number of things.

I thought all the way home about how overwhelming it has to be to get shown every available option and it's use on a machine, all crammed into a day or so. I suspect the retention is probably fairly low. Just too much information, too quick. I think about how long it's taken me to learn my machine, and how far Brian is already and he's already got a massive head start on where I started.

That 100 watts is slick. One issue with lower watt tubes on the Trotec is that the machine is so fast, you can't always run it at 100 speed. Some times 100S and 100P won't break the cap sheet on plastics. With the 100 watts, that's not an issue. You can run at 100S,100P. Man, with those settings, that machine will make you a pile of work. Brian ran one repeat job he has. Time on the Universal was 36 minutes (if I recall correctly). Time on the Trotec was about 10 minutes. That's just stunning to me. Talk about paying for itself quickly.....

Josh ran some tests and was running 3 pt fonts, upper and lower case, at 100% speed. It was razor sharp. Very nice!

I know it's going to take some time to get tuned in and all your materials set, but I think you'll be really happy with it the longer you use it.

Had fun- just not enough time!

Ok now what was the power of the Universal that took 36 minutes? that will help us see how nice the jump is.

[Scott Shepherd]

Craig, I think it's a 60W vs. a 100W, but the raster speed was the real benefit on that job. If I recall correctly, the speed on the Trotec was 100 and the power was around 70%, so power wise, it'd be close to the Universal.

[Craig Matheny]

That is impressive I have heard they were faster just not sure how much faster.

[Scott Shepherd]

that is impressive i have heard they were faster just not sure how much faster.

a lot faster! :)

[Ron Moorehead]

It all has to do with servo motors or stepper motors, my 30 watt GCC laser with servo motors is faster doing raster work than my 50 watt universal with stepper motors, both running at 100% speed, but my 50 watt laser cuts faster than my 30 watt laser.
