    So what was the issue? I am guessing you have checked all this first, along with the connections.

    No two chinese lasers are the same. Even if they are supposedly identical. But are the tubes from same manufacturer? It looks to me like the power is way higher on the second machine than the first. And that could be from actually different tubes, or even as simple as the power supplies putting out more/less power at a set percent. None of these have the same ramp also. 20% for one is 25% for the other. But we would like to know if you resolved it.

    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 vector with more than one object. Today that isn't working either. Nothing consistent is happening, so it is very hard to test. We will be testing a new controller tomorrow with a new computer to see if there is somehow a bug in the software. I had thought originally that it was a hardware issue, but there are no consistencies. One day it works to do this, but not that, the next day nothing works. Then just part of the file will engrave properly, and then not. It really is making very little sense. I have already tried a new controller, power supply, and tube. I've gone through the wiring that I can, and everything seems to be connected properly with no worn out wires. This machine has 60 working hours on it, so it hasn't seen a lot of use. I really am at a loss here.

    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 with a new one while they try to get this one going so that I can get back up and running again. I will do my best to keep you updated when I get updates on the situation. Thank you guys for all the suggestions and your time!

    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 again though!
