if you experience any problems, no matter how trivial, text the lasercutter officer immediately. Following up with a phone call is OK, and you should definitely email the lasers list as well, but always start with a text to the officer.
the power glitch is occurring at least once per week. I believe I have traced it to one lousy AC connection and will work on permanent fix this week. You can tell the power glitch is occurring because the cutter LCD menu backlight will come on during power-up, without any characters. Then it will turn off, beep/click and repeat. If this happens, power-down the cutter immediately and text Craig aka Zoot.
user inattention seems to be on the rise – bent probe, bed out of level, crashes into the lens housing, etc. Please be more careful.
all non-cutting travel speeds have been dialed down on the cutter – this includes test contours, jog mode, and non-cut moves during cutting operations. This should reduce strain on the cutter as well as give users more time to hit <stop> in the case of problems.
manual focusing is not hard, but please do not manual focus if you haven't been trained. Contact the officer to set something up.
I am trying hard to catch up on training – if you still need to be trained, contact me and I'll set something up in the next week.
performed quite a bit of maintenance including tightening x-axis pulleys and belts, etc. You should notice improvements in cutting accuracy esp. at higher speeds.
Will hold an intermediate class soon
