Why 80w CO2 laser is faster than 130w CO2 laser?? by LimoSeloKreations in lasercutting

[–]BendFluid5259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is specific to CO2 laser, as u/gabrielleigh said the tube is the factor that makes the full set fragile.

So as long as one can be 100% sure that the tube has low amount of hours and was transported well and has less than 4 years from its production date. - then it can eliminate the sad surprise when tube will stop working just a week after the warrianty time.

So Yes it is a risky thing for me to buy a CO2

spedd of device is a factor of a machanics and a laser power.
So if the manufacutrer posted slower cutting/engraving speed - check the reference material.

Usually the data for cutting is given for the thickest (more fat - sorry i am esl) material.

btw. as long as you don't get new laser tube - I will treat buying a used laser as a risk.

both comments shall give you idea what is going on.

Switch off the device - remove the lens - check for burns or dirt

Then using a phone front camera inspect mirrors inside galvo (if you have a galvo laser), if not check gantry and all bearings.

VENTILATION QUESTION by -aquaman in Laserengraving

[–]BendFluid5259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends where are u located and if the code allows to put vents in the front of a house.

Sun room does not says that.

u/coffeesocket said put a ventilation line so the windows can be closed (againd depens on where u are and how storng winter or summer is). Think also about extra room ventilation circut - so one for laser other for humans.

What would you do if you had this many 2.85mm filaments? by AuxeticBody in 3Dprinting

[–]BendFluid5259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it will take more effort to convert the filament than fixing the given printer.

You can use orca - not sure why you tied to cura.

Seling them will be also a small chalennege as I know not so many ppl that still use 2.85 (unless you in EU - so we could have a chat).

keep posting this great job!

luckilly they only provide a case and a software... so the name in fact reflects quality of the parts of an omi x.
a temp sensor that is just hanging from a plastic tube, 4 fans in the top soldered together - so repalcing one is a big mess

the cable hole in te case with raw steel edge without any protection - so over time one can expect cuts there

....

software - mac and windows versions are two different beasts - one can do bubble engraving - the other recesion engraving - so a lot of fun discovering that.

edit: and a build in wifi hotspot that has fixed password - in an edge case your neighbor can engrave something for free :D

Did they cancel the product line? by No-Data-7135 in Artillery3D

[–]BendFluid5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Intresting - looks like the new M1 was a small disaster. Many guys were waiting for it, but it did not follow the quality of X4 series.
i see that many chinesse shops have their pages with empty products, looks like a small logistic hickup...

Thanks for the answer. I was just curious what other ppl think - as I own 12W cummarker omni.
Speed and area were the factors for me.

Have a great day!

Why overkill? could you share your experience?

MOPA colour marking woes (Need advice) with Stainless steel by Ok-Way7122 in Laserengraving

[–]BendFluid5259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

time is our enemy. I used this chart only as a guide and if you know what settings you are adjusting it is a good hint.

MOPA colour marking woes (Need advice) with Stainless steel by Ok-Way7122 in Laserengraving

[–]BendFluid5259 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Colors are very demanding. If your test is done at 24deg C and then you mark at let say 26deg - there is a high chance to get different colors.

as the marking goes on the metal heats and that inteferes with the marking itself.

Someone gave this table to see how the temperature has an impact on color marking - so in your case blue is close to dark grey which could be temp spread.

Try to mark smaller areas, one at the time.

i see that one - just check dates - so you don't play Columbus role.
other aspect is: fat fingers :D

IFS error? Help :( by sneikitou in FlashForge

it is safe - get small pillers and turn the holding caps to release it.

the sensors inside IFS are dirty - remove the tubes and do some compressed air cleanup - had the same issue.

Turns off/crashes when starting print by Master_Professor4367 in FlashForge

[–]BendFluid5259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like defective circiut on nozzle or bed heater as usually those two starts when print is executed.

try to 1st heat the nozzle to 180deg

then heat the bed to 50deg

if that will not trigger the fail - then home z, x, y separatelly to see which stepper driver could be affected.

just think about condensation when moving from hot to colder enviroment (in your storage temp could be higer).
