    After two weeks of struggling, it was the USB cable... I had tried a different one in between, but that one apparently didn't work either, so I didn't think it was a fix. I am now up and running...

    So at this point, we have tried just about all we can. Nothing seems to be working. None of the tests are showing consistent results of any sort, so the supplier is going to be trading my machine...

    Still trying to figure it out. I have tried nearly everything, and to no avail. Yesterday I was able to do some pretty nice engravings when I only engraved files with one object. BMP didn't work or a...

    Hello Kev, I have played with just about every setting available. I have matched settings with other lasers that do the engraving with the exact same file perfectly. Thank you for the input!

    Glen, I added a border around the engraving to make sure that it was going the same distance for the whole engraving, and that does not fix the problem. So I don't think that this is the issue.

    Bert, I don't think that is the problem. I have tried on baltic birch, solid poplar, and solid spruce. All with the same results. Here is a picture with both machines on the same piece of wood. The...

    I bought an aerosol of the Ultra and just from my first test, I had the same results. Not solid coverage at all compared to Laserbond or the 6000.

    I have checked all of those things. I have re-aligned my machine, tightened the belts, tightened all the set screws, and checked the lens holder. If it was something loose, I would almost expect the...

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think it was a bad tube at all. I have had to do almost no re-aligning since I've had my machine, so I find it hard to recognize different things when it comes to...

    Bad tube?

    Would it be safe to say this is a bad tube? This is marked on the mirror directly by the tube. The tube lens is clean.

    I have actually done very little YETI's compared to the Polar Camel mugs. I have also had a better experience with the latter. I wouldn't say that they always have consistent powder coating either,...

    Scratching Stainless Steel

    Does anyone know why my laser appears to be "scratching" stainless steel mugs? On the attached example, it "scratched" the surface until just before the word "FIRE", but not past that. I have tried...

    I will second the Rabbit option. I have had mine for a year and a half, and the biggest problem was a fualty tube which was replaced under warranty. The machine performs well, and the service is good.
