Hi

As you have to slow the machine down to cut multiply sheets or us very high power you might not save much time.

Baby wipes are the 'bees knees' for cleaning our 6840 bed.

We normally use 'Perspex' but do have a nice BOFA extractor so stink very low anyway (school). A good extractor is very helpful.

We have some files about using 2D but find that exporting to Lasercut 5.3 is so easy. Just export file as DXF file; then import into 5.3.

Can not help you BenH as I have only experience of a 6840. But looking can't hurt.

'Inkscape' is a piece of free software that will save in dxf formate and others.

Cheers

In my instruction manual it shows to the bottom of the knurled or machine nut of the lens holder. This is what I do. There is a picture on the next to last page of the manual that HPC supplied with our 6840.

Hope this helps.

LASER.MOL comes up as a file name if the original file name does not follow the eight character rule. This is the old early filing system of 8 characters in name plus three in extension. 5.3 renames to LASER.MOL any file that has spaces or some band characters, or more than eight characters.

First set the focus height with the focus tool. Try putting a piece of card on the bed, fire the laser manually. Then adjust the lights to this dot.

Cheers

having just had a visit from Chris (MK2) to solve a problem with our machine (6840) he recommended we try illustrator as we have CS6. His simply instructions where, 'Save as Version 10 without compression'. I have just tried the drawing he left us. The printout and laser cut are the same size. No NE...
