I also use Lightburn! I like it a lot as well. However, I haven't been able to produce a quality engrave with just implementing a photo into lightburn and engraving. Is that all you do?

The...

Thanks for the post, John. In my research on the topic, I have seen a lot of posts to not go over the recommended zone in fear of decreasing the life of the laser but I haven't seen anything on...

If you engrave photos (I will primarily do birch plywood), how do you prepare the photo for engraving?

Obviously #1 factor is great quality photo to start with and choice of material.

I...

That’s a great idea with the fish tank heater!

I use Light Burn and it's not bad. I wish it had a few more features but I use Corel and import files to Lightburn. I never used LaserCut that came with my G Weike

The recommended operating temps for the Reci is 2-40C which is a wide range. Surely there is an ideal range within this recommended range that is better for the life of the tube. I was just curious...

What is the minimum operating temperature you recommend for running laser engraver? I am operating in a 40degF shop and the chiller is at 7-10degC, just curious if anyone knows if operating at lower...

Thanks for all your suggestions. I plan to try the 50/50 mixture. My last issue to solve for operating in the winter is maintain proper ambient temperature inside my shop. My shop is essentially a...

The manual says to use non-corrosive anti-freeze but it doesn't give an anti-freeze to water ratio. Are you saying to use 25% RV Anti-freeze to 75% water? I have no had any luck finding other threads...

The manual says you can fill it with anti-freeze but I am just curious if anyone does and have had success. I'd like to fill it with anti-freeze for the winter just in case.

Downloaded and it works with my laser. This seems like a much better interface. Thank you for the recommendation!

John, please enlighten us (me) on the Lightburn software. Will it work with the same controller, just a matter of buying/downloading the software from here:...

What are your favorite tutorial videos on getting started using Corel and RDworksV8?

It was $300. Saved on shipping too since it came with my laser

Glad I asked. I’ll go with that

Thanks Kev. I did run a 20A breaker in my shop for the laser. I will plan on plugging the chiller into the laser. Then power the compressor and blower on a different circuit with a switch. That way...

This may be a very dumb question but better safe than sorry. There is a label on the back of my laser pictured below. What are these outlets for if I’m not supposed to plug into them? I was hoping to...

Anyone need an 80W Reci Laser tube? haha

No, I'll just have to end up taking my chances. Live and learn.

Kind of what I was thinking unless it has to do with getting the gases flowing? Who knows

Yeah, I am hoping I didn't make a mistake ordering an extra tube and having it go to waste on the shelf. Live and learn!

I ordered an extra Reci 80W laser tube when I purchased my laser. G. Weike tells me I should fire the tube once per month to keep the tube in good condition. I thought this was interesting, thought...

Rich and Kev, you guys are correct. I confirmed with G Weike.

These are my first tubes I’ve ever owned, just got my laser in my shop!
heres another pic of its label. I hope you’re right! 383912

I just opened my laser tubes for my 80W LC6090 laser. It appears I was sent the wrong tubes and they are both 100W. I emailed G. Weike and am awaiting their reply regarding the issue. In my previous...

The feedback is much appreciated. After quite the fight, finally got the laser in my shed shop today. I was curious what you guys thought about mounting the chiller and blower on the walls to save...
