How about supporting the acrylic under the bit that drops as well, then it can't drop.

More praise here. Ray helped me, he is the MAN!!!

Don't you just love a happy ending. Well done!

Don't know of this helps.

If you are placing the material on the bed and want to start the laser in a specific position, you need to set the laser origin both on LaserCut and on the laser itself....

I've been impressed by the laserability of normal veneer. I tried it just see if it could be done and it came out brilliantly and I'm also in the UK.

I wish I could help. Good luck!

I’ve fixed it!!! It turned out to be one of the dip switches on the Y Driver board had set itself to the down position instead of up. I never even gave it a thought as I’ve never touched anything...

The mechanical side of things seems to be unaffected by the problem. motors work OK and gantries move freely. I'm beginning to think it's software related, possible the motion driver card, MPC6515....

i have absolutely no idea, that's the problem.

I have an update!

I tried the laser cutter with another computer and the head now moves the full depth of the bed, y axis. However, the cutting size is still the same, x axis is fine but the y...

It's as if half the bed can't be used anymore and everything is squashed into the other half.

I had that thought but it's now cutting half size on the y axis, the right shape but only half the height. If I try to cut a 12" square it comes out about 12 x 6. The x axis is fine. I'm totally...

Hi, I can but it's quite hard to move and I had to force it, not like when the machine is switched off. After I'd moved it to the front, when I tried to move the head to the back of the machine...

Hi, I have a G Weike LC1390 dual head laser. I’m using Lasercut 5.3. I have been using it for a couple of years now with no major problems.

Today I was cutting some parts and all was OK until...

You're right. Chinese lasers engrave bitmap only.

An excellent video here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DjK7zeSDCQ helped me a lot.

What's wrong with that? I bet you know where to find everything too!

Haven't done it yet but was thinking of cutting leather tap washers. I've got some old belts lying around.

While reading a few things the other day I came across this, on lasercut 5.3, to delete the files on the laser cutter itself click 'delete all' in the download box before downloading current. Worth...

I've installed it on my mac and it works just fine. I, on the other hand, can't get my head around it at all. Photoshop, illustrator, Indesign, 2D design, no problem, I suppose it's too CAD, if...
