Luigi laser not working

Lasering stuff tonight, got everything set up in lightburn but the laser won’t fire. Using the pulse function on the machine doesn’t seem to do anything either. I’ve tried turning off and back on.

The ammeter on the machine does signal that the laser is drawing power when I try to cut or do a pulse, so I’m thinking this could be a problem with a mirror or lens? Anyone ever have this problem?

I’m going to switch to Mario for the night, I’d love to investigate further but I don’t think I’m qualified for that haha.

I’ll be there in an hour or two and will check this out.

Luigi is working again. The mirror alignment had become so far off that the laser wasn’t even hitting the mirror. Not quite sure how this happened, but I went through and re-aligned the mirrors. I did notice that the laser tube mount was a bit loose. Perhaps that had something to do with it. I snugged that up so it doesn’t wiggle around.
