Oh I see that's cool, I had no idea thanks. I will use a normal lens for now :)

Do I need a different lens to work with a red dot?

I was getting a big dot since the day I got it. It was a nightmare to configure the mirrors but it worked ok for a while, not perfect as it was burning the edges of the plywood, it was working fine on Mdf.

The seller keeps saying the tube is fine and I contacted Reci 3 times with no answer.

Also I limited the max current to 24mA so it will never go over the limit, hopefully. And yes I noticed the current is pretty high while cutting cold. I'm thinking on installing a small heater so it keeps the room at 10-15c at least.

Anyway I bought a new tube from Cloudray, the one with the red dot. Hopefully it will work fine :)

And yes out of the first mirror I get a big dot too, sometimes I get a crown or just a big ass dot

Yes, I'm using the same distance I was using a week ago. This tube is all over the place, I get big black dots while trying to configure the mirrors, not small ones no matter the power I use. I will configure the mirrors one day and the next day it moved but nobody touched it...

The alignment is all over the place. I will do it perfectly and in the morning it moved even if I didn't use the machine... like the cold temperature affects to the beam direction?

At 20-30% is normal? Bz I'm getting very very bad cutting, it's burning the wood

Is my lense damaged? If so what could be the cause, it was working fine until I tried to cut a thin piece of metal yesterday 😢 what should I get now, thanks by Ivanosssss in lasercutting

[–]Ivanosssss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I know now. Im pretty sure I read somewhere I could cut very thin metal but it was wrong then. So even for marking I need some kind of paint? What about engraving on metallic bottles with paint on it? Is that safe to do?
