Hi guys,
So my red/black chinese laser has had a little vacation time, because of RL stuff happening. And i went to start it tonight for a job, that I had just recieved and prepared.
(Let me...
Ouch, havent seen any kind of breaks or connection issues like that though :) And checked all the wires on motors, PSU and driver and it dosnt seem to be that. So for the cutting for now, I'll go...
Regarding the washers, then I drew them myself with 2 single complete circles (maybe thats the problem?)
Software wise, Im using Lightburn, which should be good enough. However Im just currently...
After doing a few checkups none of the motors seems to have any breaks :/
Hi guys,
So at the moment Im working on my red/black chinese laser and for some reason, it seems to be off course on some points. It might be the file, im using i cant really tell :( I was doing...
Good to know.
It might be the age of the machine, but when i was at Epilog last year and saw the Zing / Mini they had there, there was basically no noise, a slight buzzing, but nothing like this...
The Z motor works, but just damn noisy :) Though i won't be using it all that much, so I could perhaps manage the noise :)
I hadn't thought about dust.... Dust would make them work harder and that...
So just a quick update.
I went an bought a similar product to what Bill showed me a picture off. Made sure it had the right stuff and went on with lubing up a few stuff in the machine (not...
I don't have a wallmart here in Denmark, so could you perhaps show me the cans that you use? :) Just so I can find similar alternatives perhaps 😁
Is there anything that I have to grease up? And if so, what kind of grease/oil is preferred or recommended?
Because I have a hard time figuring out what I could be. And the Danish Epilog Rep aint...
But is it normal, that it is that loud? Or is there anything that can be done to muffle it a bit? :) Maybe greasing some gears or something :)
So it finally arrived and after replacing the rubber feet (They were pretty worn down) and getting it vacuumed (the previous owner left quite a mess in it) it does look decently.
So regarding...
Hey Guys,
So my recent purchase of a used Mini 24 will arrive tomorrow (with alooooot of hassle, due to some political BS between Denmark and England)
I asked Epilog if I could get some kind...
Love that people are still using "old" machines and that they are working well :)
So due to some politics after Brexit (Great Britain leaving the EU) the machine arrives tomorrow. :D
And even...
The machine is not gonna be a full on production machine, but maybe to handle the delicate engravings and stuff :) I already use my red/black chinese for cutting, so it would only handle the...
The issue with the evalutation, is that the machine is located in England and Im located in Denmark :( So i this case, I will have to take the persons word for it. According to images and video, the...
Hi guys,
So everyone know that i have a Chinese red/black laser (should be obvious by now).
However I was approached by a friend of a friend (etc etc) and offered an Epilog Mini 24 for a decent...
So a little update.
I found out that the mirror 1 was too high and so was mirror 2.
So got them lowered and ran the alignment proces that Brian Book meantioned and voila. Everything is...
Hi Brian,
Not sure if this applies, because mine is not a k40 laser 😁 But I will defently look at it :)
Hi guys,
So if any of you have been following the journey so far with the Red/Black laser, then I finally got the new replacement laser head along with a complete set of mirrors. So far so good. ...
I hope i dont have to replace the whole gantry :( Hopefully I can manage with replacing the guide rail and the carriage :) And of course, they have to match, but the gantry it self, should be okey :)
The diameter of the original lens was 16.25mm :)
I already asked the supplier and they said to search on other shops for the lenses. Which made me go and buy the new kit :)
I wasnt able to find the lenses for the previous size :( I looked and looked, but wasnt able to find it. Maybe i didnt look hard enough :)
Well as the situation is, now I have the kit and might...
It was a brand new machine, however the laserhead tube dosnt fit standard lenses (dont ask me why) and i wanted to be able to swap the lens. So i bought a Cloudray E series kit and the mounting plate...
Hi guys,
So recently I decided to upgrade my laser head (including tube and stuff) on my chinese laser. Which was all fine and dandy. However, when I got the new kit, i ran into trouble. :D
