It’s good to see members using the FabLab. It’s an exciting place and we’re able to make some pretty cool things.
There have been several issues lately. Please remember to only cut approved materials. Not doing so puts you in danger and can harm the equipment.
Also, when using the rotary attachment it’s important to follow through with the instructions for resetting the laser for the next person:
- When you are done, disable rotary mode before turning off the machine
- If you don’t do this the machine will not work properly for the next person using it for flat material.
- Turn the machine off BEFORE unplugging the rotary
- Remove rotary and put it away
- Turn the machine back on and test that the machine homes and moves properly
- If the Y axis moves very slowly it is still in rotary mode. Cancel the homing sequence by hitting ‘esc’ and disable rotary mode in Lightburn.
If you need a refresher, please post questions here or contact us at @fablab. We want everyone to be safe and to have equipment that works. Thanks!
