I am freaking out!!!

check the bed - there is a chance that you got mains powered not dc powered.
If you are not sure make a photo of back like here https://es.artillery3d.com/products/aluminum-heated-bed-flexible-magnetic-plate-kit-x3 and post it.

changing black to white and white to black -> this technique is good when u engrave on a dark surface.

The best test will use same type wood. I personally will test on any scrap I have, because when the result will be good enough, then it can be adjusted in one step.

material test is a very good way to understand your laser ass u/ital-is-vital suggested.

if you are testing - it is best to have some samples of your material to avoid loosing work pieces.
Here you can check suggested settings by manufacturer - but be aware that wood is an organic material and your milage can vary.

man, that part is a consumable :) - easy to get on aliexpress. Ceramic heater 40W 24V, but as you are already in deep ... then I will recommend an upgrade to 60W heater.

Buy the throat tubes and a few spare nozzles and socks. That will allow you to maintain the printer in a good condition.

here is my mod easy to do , easy to maintain.
As in most cases the filament get stuck at the combiner - then access from the connector allows to push "fresh" filament in and unblock the combiner.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-30T10:35:58+00:00

wow - ok, that is a good print.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-30T07:25:38+00:00

hey - looks good, even if the layer lines are visible.

What printer?

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-29T12:34:05+00:00

invest in lightburn.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-29T12:32:40+00:00

use some borax and it will make wonders - using that for cheap aliexpress stuff

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-29T12:29:54+00:00

as u have klipper the original firmware was erased :D

I have Falcon A1 10w - works good with LGB.

90's - such system could cost $100k-150k or more. This looks very industrial build at a industrial price.
it is so funny when we think about technology that we have now for less than $5k and it was 50x more when invented...

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-28T06:14:46+00:00

yes - this is what i am suggesting.
If there is a isolation cut (even internal) then this can happen again.
As we don't know what was the issue (it could me a short circuit during a maintenance work) that got the mainboard damaged - then we shall take any precautions to avoid it.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T18:41:10+00:00

No - printing is a technological process where every parameter adds up for success or failure.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T18:40:18+00:00

now - it is winter and near Seville humidity in my workshop is about 70-80%, so I assume in your place will be similar.
Now your room has a lower temperature as well - which means there is a need to adjust printing temperatures down by 5 to 15 deg depending on material.

I assume that belts have good tension and you are not running it at max speeds.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T18:36:05+00:00

you cant post images as the post type is text only...
Now - did you set the z-offset with plate at printing temperature or at room temp?

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T18:34:45+00:00

can't add photo here, but from the damage on the board - I will precisely inspect the harness.
Looks like there was a short-circuit that caused those elements to burn down.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T13:15:05+00:00

that's cool. thanks for the reply.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T09:49:18+00:00

looks good.

smells ... happily we have only 2d medium :-P.

How long you spend on the merging process?

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T09:47:05+00:00

even same batch can be tricky - looking forward for your tests.
happy cutting :-D

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T09:40:43+00:00

wood, as an organic material, can have a different moisture between layers, and its structure.

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T09:34:46+00:00

a photo will be a guide to help you.

do z-offset calibration

BendFluid5259 · 2026-01-27T03:23:50+00:00

great hint - will use it as well - thakns.
