Help getting my cheap chinese laser running please.

Once I hooked up the box and plugged everything in to the power bar the fan started humming nicely

Hi Aaron,

OK, good to hear it is all under way. The collective wisdom of this great group should get you making smoke and sparks soon.

I'm burning stuff ! I got everything aligned today and figured out how to make moshidraw send stuff to the laser. I did a nice design on some thick paper at about 5% power and what moshidraw terms as a speed of "5". I also did a burn on a sample piece of anodized aluminum I got.

I'm glad to have it working, but I still haven't figured out how to get it to print straight from CorelDraw. I exported as a PLT file, but I'm not happy with how it fills or how it outlines, as it seems to really pixelate quite a bit when moshi renders it . I guess that's the next step!
