Starting a laser forum
Hi everyone. I am in the beginning of getting a forum up and running that will compliment this group. I plan to incorporate all types of lasers and supporting software. I am looking for help moderating. I have a full time job and this is a hobby. Also looking for ideas on what would make a great forum. All ideas are welcome. Post here or email me @ larrygon gmail. Thanks!

Actually received reply from the vendor!
Actually received reply from the vendor!
I mentioned in another post that my laser has developed issues. I received a reply from the vendor verifying that it does have a two year warranty and please send as much info including pictures and/or video of the issue so that it can be resolved. WOW! Not bad for a $366 gamble!

M2NANO controller board gone bad.
M2NANO controller board gone bad.
So after 4 months of use, looks like my controller board has bit the dust. It will start to fire the laser then nothing. If I press the test button, the laser fires and will vary from 0% to 100% laser power with the power pot as long as the test button is pressed. This leads me to believe that the Power Supply and laser tube is just fine and it is not receiving the correct signal from the controller board. I emailed the the seller who claims to answer emails within 8 hours. They are in Hong Kong and it is the start of their day so I hope to receive a reply by morning.
Good news is that I ordered all the parts to convert it to the Ramps option when I ordered the laser so maybe it is time to start the process.
Will update when if/when I hear a reply.

New Web Based 3D slicer
New Web Based 3D slicer
This software is multi machine use. It can be used with 3D printers, CNC and yes lasers!
Nice part is that the output for the laser is DXF or SVG

Swapping out single turn pot
Swapping out single turn pot
I want to swap out the single turn 1K pot with a 10 turn pot. I have a 2K 10 turn pot with digital readout in my junk drawer. Does anyone know if the replacement pot being 2K will affect anything?
