    Yeah I realize there will be rewiring and recalibration of steppers, endstops, etc. I've built 3d printers, robotic manipulators, etc. Mostly I'm interested to know if there are any controllers...
  5. Updating an old laser with a new control board?

    I've owned a Legend 32 70watt engraver for quite some time. It's a workhorse with only occasional minor issues, and I have no good reason to replace it, though I'll eventually have to have the laser...

    Epilog Legend 32 manual firing device?

    I remember hearing once upon a time about a plug-in box to manually fire the beam in an old Legend engraver, for quicker and simpler beam alignment. Does anyone know anything about these? Are they...

  9. High temp materials that are CO2 cuttable

    I'm looking for ideas for high temp (say, maybe 350F) materials that are cuttable with a mid-wattage CO2 laser. Any ideas? The perfect candidate will be thin, rigid, and cheapish.

    My sales are almost 100% niche web sales, besides local word-of-mouth jobs.

    I would think any business would be foolish not to have some kind of web presence, though.

    Lasing "heat treated" glassware?

    Nothing really came up in my search - has anyone tried engraving the heat treated drinkware (from Libbey or another mfg)? Any differences between this type of glass and regular old non treated glass?

    Epilog recommended either their cleaner or Everclear to me. I believe their cleaner is basically the same, ethanol. Ethanol and water form an azeotrope, meaning that ethanol can only be distilled...

    thanks for the insight, guys. Looked like it was likely generic "casting metal" to me, but I'm so new into this biz that I didn't know what's in use.
  21. Any idea what kind of metal this might be?

    Not sure what is commonly used for these kinds of medals:

    Can it likely be marked with cermark?
