Hi I'm new to the forum so I hope I get it right.
Three 3years ago I purchased Epilog Zing with a view to staring an engraving business but never got it off the ground, so my laser is used as a hobby. A few weeks ago I noticed that I was having to increase the power and reduce the speed to get any results, alignment was checked and adjusted (but don't understand how that can change) this made no difference to the loss of power. I now find the laser will not fire despite there being a feed 48 volts to it, this says to me the laser tube is defective. I estimate a total of 150 hours use at the outside.
Does anyone out there have a similar experience with a Epilog CO2 laser? I would be grateful for any help or advice.
