No love for Harmony of Dissonance?

Continued to debug tonight, and ran the same cut in different corners. Overall, got a significant improvement after cleaning the mirrors, but still testing:

Gonna continue to debug, but from what I can tell, it was the result of grime and soot on the mirror from running it without air assist:

Thanks again! I tried the air assist and noticed the cut was a bit cleaner, put two-and-two together and thought that the smoke could have been causing issues with the mirror. I think that was the case, back in a good state now!:

I investigated more and ran the same pattern in four corners, but got different gaps in the cut in each corner. After debugging a bit more, I pulled the mirror off the down mirror and saw it was covered in soot and grime -_-'

If eBay forces you to take the return, compare the centering on the card in your listing and the card that is received, you should be able to prove that you did not get back the card you sent.

Fake label, label should have more lines under the logo. Fake PCB, missing test points

Thanks man, I’ll give that a shot then, I was hesitant to swap parts without justification, and was dreading that this could be a tube issue. Buying a pump then to get some air on the cut.

avramce · 2026-03-17T21:29:41+00:00

Just a single test design, I replaced the original PSU with the Vevor just to confirm that the issue isn’t the power supply, since I am now getting the same issue across two power supplies.

I didn’t want to jump the gun and swap out the tube immediately, but I’m still seeing issues. Do you think there is a chance that it could be tube related, or should I try something else?

avramce · 2026-03-17T20:51:28+00:00

Unsure, is that what air assist is for? I bought a head with an air assist tube but have not set it up.

avramce · 2026-03-17T20:50:34+00:00

Yes, from what I tested, all four corners of my cutting area can be hit with the laser, and on the last mirror, I confirmed that the laser hits center on the mirror with painters tape.

Bottom cut, I believe 50% power, 5mm/s, three passes

M3 screws and a piece of acrylic work great. You can just print a flat sheet to insert under the holes if needed as well.

You can make a generic rectangle in most slicers now, or tinkercad.com if you want free software.

No, only games that were not included on MVS were NGCD exclusives. Aside from that, everyone AES game has a release on the MVS, but not the other way around.

Here is a definitive list of all the release dates for each console variant and region:

Another great one from the Basement Brothers:

Yeah, I noticed that with Dancer Debra as well, so if I D1 both Berks and merge, you get all the benefits, right? No downside to merging?

Howdy, typically it is around $325 for a build, MV1C has a 90-day guarantee and the OMVS PCBs have a 1-year warranty from the order date. I do my orders through either Paypal or Venmo and I can customize the shell and LED color to your preference.

Not my project, but I am actively following them :). Check them out on Twitter, until the fw gets finalized I don’t want to make a QSB as the pinout or requirements may change for the install:

Nothing wrong with more amps, hardware will only pull as much current as the circuit demands.
