Thanks, what is the best way to check the tube level with the first mirror. I aligned the red dot with the tube at about 6 feet out but then adjusted the mirrors after that.
I am having trouble engraving a solid fill or for the most part anything. Problem started after having the laser tube rebuilt. I believe I have it aligned. I am using Corel Draw X7 and it is just a...

Check you graphic for hidden objects using wire-frame view or invert the picture. I have had white backgrounds give me problems at times. Also you might check to see if ramping is set to on. I have...

I will be the first to say I do not understand the whole ramp function. I have an idea on how I think it should work. In a nut shell I feel it should reduce power to compensate for slow speed, such...
Well I have a GCC Mercury 30 and I have a ramp option in the driver under the pen settings but I never check it because it severely limits the power output. I believe this to be a flaw in the driver...
What I have found is that the number of nodes affects the speed of the cut. If you draw box that only has nodes in the corners it will race across each side as fast as the machine speed is set for....

A good question. I would like to ask others what has worked and what has not. Maybe this could turn into a good resource.
