Thread: Any Epilog Fusion 120 Watt users out there?

  1. #1

    Any Epilog Fusion 120 Watt users out there?

    Hi all - I'm looking for some fellow Fusion 120 watt owners. I'd like to ask a specific question regarding cutting material and thought it would be great if we got to know each other a bit in case there are technical issues we can learn from each other on. I've been through ours inside and out, replacing belts, small parts, and even the laser tube. We might be having a problem with the RF controller and, since these machines are so new to the market, I'd like to chat with the other guinea pigs out there.

    Appreciate your time and always happy to lend an ear if you have a problem with your Fusion.

    BUMP! No other Fusion 120 owners out there?! There has to be a few! What about Fusion 75 watt owners?

    I have a 60-watt Fusion 40. I don't do much cutting so I don't need the extra power.

    has gone up for me about NZ$8000, I knew i should have got one earlier

    You'll likely find more Fusion40 owners on the Epilog Laser Fans page. I don't think I'm allowed to put a link to that page here but if you're on Facebook and you search for "Epilog Laser Fans" page, I believe you'll find it. If it helps any, the "group #" is 75753849193.

    Alternatively, if you don't have Facebook, let me know and I'll find a Fusion40/120 person with whom you can visit.

    Click on "join" since it's a closed group. Good luck!

    Hi again Jason,
    I'm a bit closer to maybe grabbing a FUSION 40 75W
    I'm really keen to hear if you have any issues with your 120?
    so far my only issue will be removing a door and 400mm of wall to get it into the room.

    Vic - I'm so sorry I didn't see your post. I am "subscribed" to this thread but emails stopped coming through when someone replied for some reason. Did you end up going with a Fusion? I'd be happy to tell you all about my experiences.

    I am hopefully confirming today, Murphy's law saw my Helix tube fail the same day i filled
    in the forms for the bank loan, then Epilog ran out of tubes so i'm now 5 days with no machine
    hopefully get it on Monday.
    So wish i ordered the new machine weeks ago.

    Greetings, We had a Fusion M2 32 120watt with camera installed last week.... Evidently the auto focus wasn't set properly at the factory.
    Talking this through with Epilog, the lens carriage crashed through the vector grid... Still waiting for parts from Epilog.... now it looks like the
    laser isn't firing, not sure if there is a reset for that of if something was damaged in the crash... Right now not very happy with the support
    we are receiving on a new machine.... first time I have been unhappy with their service... This is our 3rd purchase from them...

    Once we are up and running, I'll let you know...

    The 2 times I have seen this on my Fusion:
    #1 I had hit the Emergency shutoff button...oops
    #2 The Network IP addressing was incorrect. Solution: I ignored the Epilog Fusion setup and used instructions from my old Mini... works great now.
