Thread: Carbon Fiber Laser

  1. #1

    Carbon Fiber Laser

    HA, you thought I was so stupid I was calling a fiber laser a carbon fiber laser, didn't you?

    Started wrapping one of our lasers today. It's a work in progress, so I'm still working on the final look, but I took a few steps towards completing it today while other jobs were running.

    Also, I did a new control panel overlay in the same material. The original doesn't have any words on it so I forget all the special combination buttons all the time. Now they are all on there. There are actually a couple combinations I didn't know existed. I didn't know there was a "instant stop" combination (anyone that's ever hit stop on a laser and watched it keep running until it finishes it's lines knows what I mean), and I didn't know there was an "air on/off" combination either. Now I know! Plus I know the buttons! Sorry the text looks fuzzy, it's from resizing the photos.

    Like the way it's headed?

    Hi Scott,

    Is the panel overlay covering buttons beneath the material or are they exposed?

    Matt, they are exposed.
