Hi there We have a LS3020 and have been having fun with it for about 6 months now. I've got the hang of cutting birch and just started to have a go at cutting 3mm acrylic with varying success. Please can anyone suggest what power and speed I should be using for engraving and cutting acrylic. I tried...

Thanks Dave good idea. I'll check it out tomorrow when I get home from work. I don't remember seeing anything on the laser but I'll certainly have a look. Odd that it's just started doing it. It was fine to start with.

Hi Dave
On Lasercut 5.3 it says cut and engrave once. I winder if there is a setting on the laser itself that I might have accidentally changed. I can't find it though.
Thanks

Hi Dave Thanks for answering I use Corel draw usually but it's the home and student version so I import into Lasercut as a plt file.

When i get this problem i close Lasercut, check the dongle and the USB cable are in properly then open Lasrcut. This usually works. Its quite annoying though. I usually close Lasercut before plugging the dongle and USB cable into the laptop in order to prevent the annoyance!!!!! Thanks very much fo...

Thanks Dave for your reply. Well its sorted now after a couple of hours of messing about! In case anyone else is having the same problem I think it was sorted by leaving everything plugged in and then restarting the laptop. I restarted it before but maybe the softdog dongle wasn't plugged in until a...

Hi I have a LSC3020. I'm quite a newbie but have been using this for a couple of months now. Today I tried to engrave a chopping board as a gift needed tomorrow! I plugged in the softdog as usual but I can't download my file and keep getting an error saying communication is broken Sometimes we get a...
