I have a used Epolog Legend 24, 25 Watt and have had no problems for the past three years of use. Today I started as normal, manually focused my work, and the laser froze in the focus position. I have turned the laser off and, after initializing, it returns to this focus position and I cannot get it to do anything else. Does anyone have any ideas?

Has the focus button stuck down?
Poke it around a bit and see if it pops up.

Removing the focus plunger solves a lot of problems, and you get more clearance under the head. My ribbon cable had a break, and the focus stopped working correctly, so I removed it. I have since replaced the cable, but never re-installed the plunger. I like the extra clearance. Just remember to unclick auto focus in the driver when sending stuff to the laser or the table will keep rising until it jambs into the head and lifts the cross bar out of the track..
