I doubt it will last long, but cleaning the brushes and communicator inside the motor seems to have resolved it for now. I...
Epilog suggested I drop the servo motor and see of the rest of the carriage moved smoothly or if I could sense drag in the motor. I did, and the carriage moves smoothly without the motor. I took the...
I contacted them. Their only suggestion was that I send the whole console section in for repair. According to them the display module isn't made any more, so it would need to be repaired. Scary...
Has anyone had this happen? First I had one black line, then two, then more, now about half of it is this way. I've pulled the panel and cleaned and checked all of the ribbon cables and connectors....
Having trouble with my x-axis sticking. I've cleaned the encoder strip, lubricated the slide and bearings, but it's still sticking. At this point I'm suspecting that it's a bad bearing in one of the...
Thanks for the 'trick'.
Strange, I found several on-line help documents from schools and maker spaces that use inkscape with the newer model epilogs just fine.
I will try the PDF conversion...
Hello all. Sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I've done extensive searching with Google and here and didnt' find a similar topic. I have an Epilog Legend 24 TT. I can vector fine with the vector...
For some of the more 'at hand' items I use a storage cabinet that my laser sits on:
368621
Amazingly, they did still have the parts in stock. $260.00. Not bad at all.
Thanks I have a call into them now. I'm just waiting for a quote.
Well, finally wore out my Y-axis motor. I believe these were custom made by Pittman for Epilog. Anyone know where I should look for a replacement?

Lovely shape and finish and the letter carving is exquisite. Nicely done. I'm sure it will brighten up a child's life who very much deserves it.
I'm sorry I do not remember.
Found the Craft Supplies one - perfect. Thanks guys.
I've looked around on the web a lot and I'm stumped on this one. I have a 1-1/4x8tpi lathe at home, but when our club turns at events the club's traveling lathes are 1x8tpi. I'm expected when turning...
Amazing. YOU ARE the laser! Nice work. The extra coloring from the tool friction really makes the cutouts stand out.
Thanks for all the extra info guys! Great resource as always.
I'll look for any pieces with olive heart wood Robo Hippy. If I find any I'll see what I can do with it.
Those cutouts look laser-cut. What's your secret?
I'm glad I asked. Thanks for the advice. I'll get a couple extra trunk pieces and rip them on the chain saw until I can get them cut safely on the table saw into 2" square blanks. Unfortunately my...
Your pierced items always astonish me. The work in doing the piercing must far out weigh the time spent turning. The randomness of the pierced sections is part of the beauty. I'm not sure I'd ever be...
I have a friend who has some ash he's giving me from trees he dropped. I mostly want it for tool handles. I'm wondering if I should just get some 3"-4" diameter branches and cut them slightly over...
That figure in BOTH pieces of wood - so fantastic. Lovely piece.
I was in exactly the same budget as you are. I looked locally for used lathes for a while and was anguishing between the Nova Comet II, and saving my money for the Jet 1221. While I was thinking and...
I have used Krylon Fusion for plastics as well as the new formula Rustoleum (labeled for plastics on the can). Both worked fine.
Some tips from my experience:
Etch THROUGH the protective paper...
