Hi,

I did some tests and all was ok.

It's not ever easy to contact the manufaturer of the product you are engraving.

If you need to test your laserable material, i found this very useful...

Hi there,

I did some dice engraving recently and i just realized that it could not be very safe.


Dice are in "plastic" and i don't know their composition.

Hi,

I'm currently doing a job where i cut a lot of small pieces on 5mm wood board.

When the job is running, sometimes, the air Flow pushes some of the cut pieces in the way of the nozzle when...

Thanks all for your return.

So we all agree that the selling price is the only obstacle that i can encounter if i build up the courage to do the manual turning myself.

@Bert : Subject is closed...

This manual dice turning operation still seems unmanageable for huge...

Hi,

I've just received an order about engraving small blank six sided dice (12mm) in large quantities (maybe 10000).

I know how to do it for a handful dices but i never tackled a huge order...

Dave (and the others !),

Thanks a lot for your help. I managed to get the correct DLL without the help of the manufacturer (still playing dead to my numerous emails).

The DLL version of the...

Dave,

That makes perfect sense. Thanks.

My MPC is 6525 and not 6515 though... And I don't see any diode on the controller (maybe because of the plastic cover screwed on it)

Hi,

Thanks for the answers.

The manufacturer is IEHK (iehk.com).

I have contacted them and they told me to redownload and reinstall their software (as Abby told me in this thread)... But i...

Hi,


I had to change the computer monitoring my laser engraver (IE1200) and reinstall all the firmwares (downloaded on the manufacturer site).
