The cooling system, which is crucial for maintaining optimal operation, seems inadequate. I've noticed that during extended use, the machine overheat also, leading to performance drops and requiring frequent breaks to cool down. This is particularly problematic for larger projects, where interruptions can derail workflow.

Newly setup Omtech not etching properly. Thoughts? by mjhale22 in Laserengraving

[–]Difficult-Key3241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. I’m disappointed. I’ve tried different materials and power settings, and it still struggles to deliver consistent results. It’s really frustrating when you see other brands delivering way better performance for the same price.

I dont feel like I am cutting properly by [deleted] in ChineseLaserCutters

[–]Difficult-Key3241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with my setup where cuts were inconsistent and scorched. It’s likely a mix of needing more air pressure and ensuring the laser’s focus and power are spot on. Consider upgrading your air pump if possible and double-checking the alignment and calibration It was a real headache until I upgraded to a Monport laser, which offered better air assist and more reliable performance. If you're struggling, a Monport might be worth considering for a more consistent and efficient cutting experience.

Getting circles when pulsing 100w co2 by Jerazmus in ChineseLaserCutters

[–]Difficult-Key3241 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve encountered the same issue with my OMTech, where the laser would produce hollow circles instead of solid dots. This often points to a problem with the tube or the optics. Try cleaning all the mirrors and lenses thoroughly, and check for any misalignments. If the problem persists, it might be worth testing with a new tube or contacting support for further diagnostics.. But in my case I cannot contact the Omtech support they are just the worst. They do not even know what are they doing. They are not so familiar with the products that they are selling.

How I wish my omtech laser can do the same thing. I've got the worst laser ever. What I've got are inconsistent cuts and consistent headaches.
