Great, thanks!

I will be using it for laser-egraving and color-filling "concrete" awards. I am using a mix called Rockite which is halway betweeen plaster and cement. Very porous stuff.

I was going tghrough posts regarding Liquamask liquid mask and coudn't find the answer to my question. I would like to know if this product will withstand the solvents contained in spray paint...

Exactly, the cover is so big it warps easily. I installed 2 extra handles in the front, on the left and right side, but we can't open it using just one of these handles, unfortunately. The problem...

Looks to me like your X-belt is too loose. Depending on your machine, their is a tension adjustment on either side.

I should have mentioned beforehand that I couldn't figure out the specs of the current struts on the machine. There is a label in chinese with no helpful numbers. Plus the website shown on it doesn't...

Looking for one of these ? Will gray do instead of black?? lol

I have an old LTT-ILS3 NM (bought from Signwarehouse) sitting here , laser is dead and electronics were stripped. The rollers...

Well I found out the struts I got are rated 161lbs each. That would expline why I can't compress them by hand. (can you lift up your wife with a single hand ? same thing...)

Well thank you Sir!

They are actualy for lifting a PT Cruiser tail gate. They might be overly strong, but I am sure I should be able to compress them a bit... maybe add some weight on the front of the door if needed?

I need help for yet another problem... I am trying to replace the gas lift struts on my 1290 laser engraver because the cover is too heavy to be lift repeateadly with the ones installed by the...

Thanks for the help guys.

I am moving the shop in a bigger space next month and going to install a 2nd laser engraver. Both machines are 48x36" with 80 watt lasers. I am wondering how to set-up the fume extraction system...

Yes, probably that, and also the engraving must be deep enough. Use a thin microfiber cloth (like for cleaning eyeglasses). The cloth shouldn't be folded many times as it will get inside the...

Here, we just engrave the acrylic without the film protection. Then we apply artists' acrylic paint that comes in tube, using a business card as spatula... Most of the paint stays in the engraving....

I have experienced the same problem on my Shenhui (1200x900). Look at the gears that hold the Y-belts on the left and right sides. The gears are mounted on the ends of the shaft in the back. This...

Mike,

All I can say is "touché!" ... that,s where I sent my laser for repair three weeks ago. They told me there was a repeated short that caused fatal damages over time, aluminum particle dust...

I am already shopping for a new machine, which will probably be a larger, more powerful and definitely Chinese beast. For my defective laser, I just found about the DSP kit from Lightobject. It's an...

I am the proud owner of an LTT ILS-3NM (Accuris) engraver from 2006 which has died on me recently, at least the laser is dead and can not be repaired. It is a Synrad firestar t60 - 60 watts, air...

Very nice piece, Mike!
What kind of wood did you use for that?

Thanks,

Rodne, you mentionned engraving on Mont Blanc pens... I was asked to quote on a job for engraving 20 of those. They are the black models made of "resin". I was wondering if you have any tips,...

Pat,

I've bought led strips from www.acolyteled.com (they're in NY). They have 16'' and 31'' led strips called Striplytes. They have an AC version that can plug directly into a wall outlet. They...

I was talking with my client again, he said he would be painting the letters in white... Yess... White acrylic, this I have in stock! Problem solved, this time!
I think I'll give a try with...

I'm used to painting laser-cut acrylic letters for interior signs, but this time a customer asked me for letters that will go on an exterior sign.

Would a water-based paint on acrylic stand the...

Yes, it cuts well, especially 1/4" thick. The thing is to use very slow speed, around 2%, maximum power, and reduce the PPI to 200, and use a lot of air assist otherwise it will catch fire on the...

Hi guys,

I managed to engrave on those 12X12'' granite tiles I found at the hardware store. I am proud of the result, for a first try, it's not bad! I used Photoshop to convert the original color...
