Alignment

Hi Folks, My mirrors are all over the place! I started with the laser mirror to the tube and worked my way forward. The last mirror is being a pain as it cannot be adjusted as it is the head of the laser. To get it anywhere near correct I have to adjust the next mirror which then doesn't pick up the...

Re: DXF too big

Still not able to reliably cut Perspex. I just don't know what is wrong. It will of course be something that I have caused but I just don't seem to be able to resolve the problem.

It could be the way I make my DXF files, I just don't know!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drop Box

Hi,

I have been sent a file from HPC via drop box.

Does anyone know how I get the file?

I am exceptionally thick when it comes to these things and don't know what drop box is.

I cant see a link on the e-mail.


Aaaaargh

DXF too big

Hi, I have recently been trying to cut 3mm Perspex but have run into a few problems. My machine has been serviced so is running smoothly and engraving without any problems. My problem is that more often than not the laser will not accept my dxf files. It sometimes loads them but mainly it will say t...

Alignment

Hi Folks,

I need to re-align the mirrors on my 3060 but have no idea what I am supposed to do or how to do it.

Does anyone know how to do this? It would have to be explained in 'baby terms'.

I have checked the alignment but do not know how to adjust the mirrors!!!!

Re: Laser Tube

Well that's exactly what I am going to do. I have dealt with HPC for over 5 years now and find that they are always very helpful. Perhaps when I know a bit more about lasers and tubes then I will try things myself. I tend to function on a 'need to know' basis which limits my understanding about how ...
