<p>Jclagg: /* Maintenance Log */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Template:Equipment<br /> |owner=LVL1<br /> |serial=Serial Number<br /> |model=Rabbit QX-80-1290<br /> |arrived=8/23/2014<br /> |doesitwork=Yes<br /> |contact=<br /> |where=Common Room<br /> }}<br /> <br /> = About =<br /> <br /> * 80 Watt Laser<br /> * 1200 mm x 900 mm cutting area (~4'x3')<br /> * Currently configured with a Standard 55mm Focal Depth lens.<br /> ** This is a &quot;Compromise&quot; lens: Okay at cutting, okay at engraving, but great at neither.<br /> ** We have a &quot;Premium&quot; 55mm lens in stock also.<br /> <br /> = Manual =<br /> <br /> * https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4V_icNlfqiANnhWb3dfZm5iRHM/view?usp=sharing<br /> <br /> = Laser Odor =<br /> <br /> &lt;pre style=&quot;color: red; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 24pt&quot;&gt;VERY EXTREMELY IMPORTANT LASER ODOR GUIDELINES&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> The laser cutter fumes are filtered by an activated carbon filter before being dumped outside. This carbon filter keeps any fumes from possibly disturbing the neighbor's smoking area. When the carbon filter is used-up, there is a nearly-100% blockage of airflow through the filter. This results in laser fumes filling the space, and LVL1 receiving complaints from other tenants in the building.<br /> <br /> Some signs the laser filter is not operating properly:<br /> * Cutting is taking much longer than normal<br /> * The laser is filling with smoke (Normally, ALL SMOKE should exit rapidly)<br /> * The space is filling with fumes<br /> <br /> There is an airflow switch installed on the filter which will cause the laser to stop operating if the filter is sufficiently clogged. Although this provides some level of safety, please be aware of the signs of laser filter failure. If you notice laser fumes filling the space, DISCONTINUE the use of the laser, or tell the operator of the laser to discontinue use.<br /> <br /> =Important Laser Guidelines=<br /> <br /> * Do not use the laser without being trained. Ask questions. If you have any doubts, refrain from lasering.<br /> * If the laser is moved, it must be recalibrated. Laser calibration is a long and difficult process.<br /> * Install the laser tube with the water outlet facing up.<br /> * The laser is intentionally pulled a couple feet from the wall for access.<br /> * The laser control software will not work without the USB dongle installed. This dongle is a $250 device.<br /> * Do not set power higher than 85% or lower than 10%. Higher power simply saturates the power supply and results in no benefit. Lower power does not lase.<br /> * If a fire begins, open the laser lid immediately. This interrupts power to the laser.<br /> <br /> =Where to find information=<br /> <br /> * [http://www.rabbitlaserusa.com/ Rabbit Laser's Website]<br /> * The manual located on top of the machine<br /> <br /> =Acceptable File Formats=<br /> <br /> * DXF (Autocad 2002 or 2004 format)<br /> * BMP<br /> * JPG<br /> * Others<br /> * NOT SVG. SVG is NOT usable.<br /> <br /> =How to use the Laser in Table mode=<br /> <br /> # Turn on the laser.<br /> # Home the X and Y Axes by pressing the &quot;X-Y 0&quot; button. If the laser doesn't home, ensure that the machine is not in &quot;Jog&quot; mode. If any menu item is highlighted, the machine is not in &quot;Jog&quot; mode.<br /> # Jog the Z Axis until your material will fit under the laser head.<br /> # Jog the home switch of the laser head over your material. Ensure the laser is in &quot;Jog&quot; mode by pressing &quot;Esc&quot; under no menu items are selected.<br /> # Home the Z Axis by pressing the &quot;Z 0&quot; button. The Z axis will automatically back off to the correct focus point.<br /> # Open the &quot;Laser Cut Table&quot; software on the laser PC. <br /> # Import your project, or draw a test shape. (It is HIGHLY recommended that you test your cut settings on scrap material before attempting a real cut).<br /> # In the upper right-hand corner, set the laser power and speed settings. Use the settings in the manual as a guideline.<br /> # Click &quot;Calculate&quot; to generate G-Code.<br /> # Click &quot;Download&quot; to send G-Code to the laser.<br /> # On the &quot;Download&quot; menu, press, &quot;Delete All,&quot; followed by &quot;Download Current.&quot; This ensures that your project is the only one loaded on the laser.<br /> # Jog the laser head to the upper-right corner of your intended cut area.<br /> # Press the &quot;Test&quot; button to see the area that will be cut by the laser. Ensure that your material is lined up correctly.<br /> # Close the lid of the laser.<br /> # Press &quot;Start&quot; to begin cutting.<br /> <br /> =How to use the Laser in Rotary Mode=<br /> <br /> =Future DIY Upgrades=<br /> * High pressure air assist using shop air<br /> ** Design instructions in manual<br /> * Rotary Enlongening<br /> ** A custom aluminum bottom plate for the rotary would easily add length.<br /> <br /> =Troubleshooting=<br /> * If &quot;Immediate&quot; mode doesn't seem to work properly, try downloading the config again.<br /> ** From the &quot;Download&quot; menu, press the &quot;Download Config&quot; button. The laser will be unresponsive for a few moments. Wait until the menu responds to input before uploading your laser file.<br /> <br /> = Maintenance Log =<br /> * '''8/23/2014''' - Received Laser<br /> * '''9/8/2014''' - Cleaned lens, inspected lens mirror.<br /> * '''9/27/2014''' - Installed carbon filter, exterior venting.<br /> * '''11/04/2014''' - Cleaned main lens. Not particularly dirty.<br /> * '''2/06/2015''' - Changed carbon in the filter.<br /> <br /> = Maintenance Schedule =<br /> * Based on observation, this schedule is 3x the length of the &quot;estimated&quot; schedule recommended for full-time laser shops.<br /> * '''Every three weeks''' - Clean the main lens.<br /> * '''Every three months''' - Clean the lens mirror.<br /> * '''Every six months''' - Clean the X-axis gantry mirror.<br /> * '''Every nine months''' - Clean the Y-axis mirror.<br /> * '''Every year''' - Clean the laser output lens/mirror assembly.<br /> * '''As needed''' - Lubricate the linear slides with 3-in-1 oil (or similar light machine oil).<br /> * '''As needed''' - Clean crumbs out of crumb tray.<br /> * '''As Needed''' - Replace coolant water (use distilled water only).<br /> <br /> = Maintenance Tips =<br /> * Add a couple of tablespoons of roundup to the coolant, and it won't need changed as often.</div>

<p>Jclagg: /* Things you should not put in the laser cutter */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Template:Equipment<br /> |owner=LVL1<br /> |serial=2011052503<br /> |model=Full Spectrum Laser MLE-40<br /> |arrived=July 2011<br /> |doesitwork=Working<br /> |contact=Tyler, Tim M, Chris, Aaron<br /> |where=Main space near the makerbot<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Safety information and training ==<br /> Please be familiar with all of this safety information before using the laser cutter. Improper use will result in destruction of the laser.<br /> <br /> * Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using it so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.<br /> <br /> * Read the instructions first. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> <br /> * '''Always''' make sure the '''water pump and air assist''' are running before operating the laser! A failure of the water pump will '''destroy the laser'''.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' operate the laser cutter '''unattended'''. Because sometimes things '''catch fire'''. A '''CO2 fire extinguisher''' is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. Again, '''NEVER STEP AWAY WHILE THE LASER CUTTER IS OPERATING'''. You must be nearby and undistracted in order to stop the laser cutter in an emergency.<br /> <br /> * '''Only''' use the '''E-stop''' in the case of an '''emergency'''. Usually this means things are on fire. To stop the laser in the case of material positioning or other non-emergency, cancel the job in the Retina Engrave software. If the E-stop has been implemented, stop all laser jobs and turn off the laser before unsetting the E-stop. Failure to do this will fry the electronics and has happened before.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' turn the current up above '''15 milliamps''', as indicated on the analog meter. Exceeding 15mA will '''destroy the laser tube quickly'''. The multi-turn potentiometer should rarely, if ever, be adjusted. Power percentages below 100% of the 15mA can be adjusted in the Retina Engrave software.<br /> <br /> * If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean. Flames will also melt the laser's plastic rollers and cause problems traversing the X-axis until they are replaced.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.<br /> <br /> * '''Do not cut''' plastics which create '''hazardous fumes''' when burned. Acrylic is ok. '''PVC and vinyl''' releases the '''very toxic gas phosgene''' when heated. Cutting ABS produces cyanide gases. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter. If you are not 100% certain your material is safe, you must verify it first. Try the [http://vimeo.com/1615418|burn test video] or [http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf|polymer identification chart].<br /> <br /> * Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.<br /> <br /> * Do not laser materials that make an excessive amount of smoke. A little smoke is ok, but a large amount can fog up the lens. If it is making a lot of smoke, use more passes at a lower power.<br /> <br /> * When cutting paper, turn down the power to a couple milliamps, or it will catch fire.<br /> <br /> == Non-commercial and Commercial Use ==<br /> * LVL1 provides use of our laser cutter free of charge for '''non-commercial''' use as a public resource. The laser tube has a limited lifetime, but LVL1 pays for the cost of replacement tubes as part of our standard space maintenance costs. We hope this encourages creative use of this fantastic tool, without getting bogged down in accounting. Please note that this is considered 'non-excessive usage within reason'. Excessive, monopolizing, or dangerous use of the Full Spectrum Laser may mean members politely ask you to stop using it or help pay the costs of laser tube replacement.<br /> <br /> * For '''commercial use''' of our laser (i.e. lasering something that you '''plan to sell'''), it is expected that you reimburse LVL1 for your laser time at $1 per minute of operation. <br /> <br /> == Maintenance == <br /> * NEVER use paper towels or other abrasives to clean the mirrors, as it will scratch them. Scratched mirrors will dramaticly reduce the laser's cutting power. Only use alcohol and cotton swabs. Check with the area host if you are unsure.<br /> <br /> == Settings for Cuts ==<br /> Check near the laser for a clipboard and sample bin with various material laser settings. These have been compiled by members through trial-and-error, and is fairly complete. Here are some settings that I believe to be working for various types of materials<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 1 pass<br /> # Plexiglass (.20 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 3 passes<br /> # Masonite (1/8&quot; thick) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 5 passes (it really smokes and stinks)<br /> # Coroplast (1/8&quot;) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 4 passes. (You need a knife to finish cutting the corrugated flutes. Any more passes and you get back scatter on the bottom surface.<br /> # Plywood (1/8&quot; thick from Michaels) Cut 100% power, 30% speed, one pass (NOTE: Best success if you set the focus height at the center of the thickness rather than the top surface.)<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 glued to .20 with super glue ) Cut: 100% power, 20% speed, 4 passes. (NOTE: Set focal height to center of thickness rather than top surface.)<br /> <br /> == Settings for Raster Engrave ==<br /> # Plywood (1/8 thick from Michaels) 50% speed, 500 dpi, 1 pass<br /> <br /> <br /> == Things you can put in the laser cutter ==<br /> * Paper (cardstock could have additives that should not go in the cutter, test a sample)<br /> * Acrylic and several other plastics<br /> * Wood (careful of fire, treated wood could have additives)<br /> * Cotton<br /> * Many other fabrics (moleskin books can have high chlorine content)<br /> * Cell phones (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Laptops (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Leather<br /> * Glass<br /> * Anodized/coated metal<br /> * Chocolate<br /> <br /> == Things you should not put in the laser cutter ==<br /> <br /> * Anything containing chlorine <br /> * ABS<br /> * PVC (this includes Moleskine notebooks)<br /> * Lexan<br /> * Vinyl<br /> * Bare metal<br /> * Animals<br /> * People<br /> * Butane lighters<br /> * Gasoline or other liquids<br /> * Any powder (the compressed air will blow it away)<br /> <br /> == If you are unsure, check if your material to see if it contains bad PVCs ==<br /> <br /> http://vimeo.com/1615418<br /> <br /> http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf<br /> <br /> == How to use the freakin' laser ==<br /> <br /> 1. Turn the power strip under the table. This powers the laser, water pump and air pump.<br /> <br /> 2. Make sure the water pump is on. (You can feel the 5 gal. bucket vibrate)<br /> <br /> 3. Verify the water pump is on. The laser tube will crack in 30 seconds if the water pump is not on.<br /> <br /> 4. If the water pump is off GO BACK TO STEP 2.<br /> <br /> 5. Make sure the air compressor is on.<br /> <br /> 6. Reset the emergency stop button.<br /> <br /> 7. Turn the key to the on position.<br /> <br /> 8. Rejoice in the light (the florescent light should be on)<br /> <br /> 9. Read this --&gt; [[File:Laser Presentation.pdf]] (some items don't apply this was written by another hackerspace)<br /> <br /> Do<br /> 1. Check for water flow on startup<br /> 2. Make sure exhaust fan is running<br /> 3. Check for fires and put them out ;) <br /> <br /> Don't<br /> <br /> 1. Ever leave the laser unattended (see fires above)<br /> 2. Turn off the “Air” button. That needs to be on to protect the lens<br /> 3. Laser on Vinyl, PVC, Sintra (will produce corrosive and toxic gases)<br /> 4. Cut metals (it won't work)<br /> 5. Bump or touch the mirrors or lenses (will put the machine out of alignment or damage optics)<br /> <br /> == Docs ==<br /> '''Lasercutter/V4 Full Spectrum Laser 40W|Full Spectrum Laser 4th Generation 40W CO2 Laser Engraver - Deluxe Model'''<br /> <br /> * [http://fslaser.com/products/lasers/hobby-lasers/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser Product Site]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&amp;sid=f2e3b07f01c34bab204bb6ef4cb6f7c3 Forums]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/lasersetupv2.html V4 Laser Download Page]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> * Drivers are on the cutter machine. We will figure out another way to get the drivers out to members.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> <br /> Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. Gimp is not very good for doing vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either. <br /> <br /> === RetinaEngrave (Windows) ===<br /> ==== Requirements ====<br /> <br /> Windows XP or Windows 7<br /> <br /> ==== Supported formats/modes ====<br /> ==== How to install ====<br /> <br /> * Download and install USB drivers<br /> * Download and install RetinaEngrave<br /> * Download and install Direct Print drivers<br /> <br /> ==== How to use ====<br /> <br /> == Rastor ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Start RetinaEngrave<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Set the speed to 75% or less. Press Go.<br /> <br /> == Vector ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Copy the image to the clipboard<br /> * Start Inkscape and create a new A4 Landscape document<br /> * Paste the image into the new document<br /> * Select all. Go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Select the Vector tab.<br /> * Set the speed on the right hand side. Press Go.<br /> <br /> === Inkscape Notes ===<br /> * You can import a bitmap and trace it (Path-&gt;Trace Bitmap)<br /> * Hit F2 to Edit Path by Nodes. Spend some time getting used to using this feature and all the nuances of node editing such as adding and subtracting nodes.<br /> * Use Path -&gt; Break apart to be able to select and remove double lines<br /> * VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you add text to vector cut, be sure to Path-&gt;Object to Path on the text or the vector side of Retina Engrave will hang!<br /> * Save often. Inkscape crashes occasionally!<br /> * Use the Bezier Curves and Straight Lines (Pen tool) to draw vectors easily.<br /> * Take advantage of grids and snap<br /> * If you have something that you may want to cut again, you can use Retina Engrave to save your job. It works well and then you do not have to reopen Inkscape.<br /> <br /> === [https://github.com/Metalab/ctrl-cut ctrl-cut] ===<br /> Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon.<br /> <br /> == Quirks ==<br /> <br /> * If your PC is connected to the laser cutter with the usb cable, and you have the RetinaEngrave software and drivers installed, and you still can't get the machine to acknowledge you (e.g. you try to press the &quot;jog&quot; buttons and the laser head doesn't move) try these things:<br /> ** There is a button between the &quot;jog right&quot; and &quot;jog left&quot; button. It shifts between UNLOCK and LOCK. Toggel it and try again!<br /> ** There is a big red emergency stop button on top of the laser cutter. It might be pressed down, which means the machine won't work. Press it again.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.<br /> <br /> * If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 250 dpi 85% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0190.jpg]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0192.jpg]<br /> At 500 dpi, 75% speed was too much. 72% was also too fast. <br /> I also saw the problem at 250 dpi 71% and 1000 dpi 65%. Full spectrum engineering said on Feb 25 that this problem is caused by the belt being too tight. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=310]<br /> <br /> *You don't need to watch the laser every single second, but you should at least stay in the little room while it's on and keep a general eye on it. Why? Because if you're using something burnable, there's a chance it can catch fire. Which is bad.<br /> <br /> * Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Tips ==<br /> <br /> * Before putting your material into the laser cutter, test your image on paper. If you don't test on paper first you will ruin a lot of the material you are cutting. Once it looks good on paper you can place your material on the paper so you know it is positioned properly, and refocus if the material is thick.<br /> <br /> * When engraving raster images, they go much faster if you use a lower DPI. The lowest setting is 250 DPI and that is enough for most things. Use higher DPI only with high resolution images and with materials that show the difference.<br /> <br /> === Finger boxes ===<br /> http://www.frag-den-spatz.de/index.php?menue=/shop/menue.htm&amp;page=/shop/boxgenerator/fingerbox.html<br /> <br /> http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:845<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Cutting power / speeds ==<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;** There is a list floating around laser cutter with setting that have been tested **&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> The best way to use the laser is with a vector image.<br /> You will have more control over power and speed.<br /> <br /> ''[http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Laser_Power NYCR's Laser Power table]''<br /> <br /> * Typing paper - 100% speed, 3 milliamps<br /> * 2mm acrylic - 25% speed, 8 milliamps<br /> * 5/8ths inch acrylic - 1% speed, 12 milliamps, 2 passes<br /> * Plastic with metalic coating - 5 - 7 milliamps rastor, 3 ma vector<br /> * Linen - 70% speed, 4 milliamps, 1 pass<br /> <br /> == Specifications ==<br /> <br /> * Maximum material size: 13&quot; x 16&quot;<br /> * Maximum engravable area: 9.5&quot; x 14.5&quot;<br /> * Maximum material thickness: 2.75&quot;<br /> * CO2 Laser Wavelength: 10.6um<br /> * Maximum Laser Power: 40W<br /> <br /> == [[Talk:Laser_Cutter|Discussion]] ==<br /> '''[[Talk:Laser_Cutter|On the Discussion page!]]'''<br /> <br /> Laser cutter purchase discussion is here http://wiki.lvl1.org/Laser_Cutter2<br /> <br /> ==Maintenance Log==<br /> * 04/18/2014 - Maintenance log created.</div>

<p>Jclagg: /* Safety information and training */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Template:Equipment<br /> |owner=LVL1<br /> |serial=2011052503<br /> |model=Full Spectrum Laser MLE-40<br /> |arrived=July 2011<br /> |doesitwork=Working<br /> |contact=Tyler, Tim M, Chris, Aaron<br /> |where=Main space near the makerbot<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Safety information and training ==<br /> Please be familiar with all of this safety information before using the laser cutter. Improper use will result in destruction of the laser.<br /> <br /> * Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using it so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.<br /> <br /> * Read the instructions first. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> <br /> * '''Always''' make sure the '''water pump and air assist''' are running before operating the laser! A failure of the water pump will '''destroy the laser'''.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' operate the laser cutter '''unattended'''. Because sometimes things '''catch fire'''. A '''CO2 fire extinguisher''' is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. Again, '''NEVER STEP AWAY WHILE THE LASER CUTTER IS OPERATING'''. You must be nearby and undistracted in order to stop the laser cutter in an emergency.<br /> <br /> * '''Only''' use the '''E-stop''' in the case of an '''emergency'''. Usually this means things are on fire. To stop the laser in the case of material positioning or other non-emergency, cancel the job in the Retina Engrave software. If the E-stop has been implemented, stop all laser jobs and turn off the laser before unsetting the E-stop. Failure to do this will fry the electronics and has happened before.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' turn the current up above '''15 milliamps''', as indicated on the analog meter. Exceeding 15mA will '''destroy the laser tube quickly'''. The multi-turn potentiometer should rarely, if ever, be adjusted. Power percentages below 100% of the 15mA can be adjusted in the Retina Engrave software.<br /> <br /> * If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean. Flames will also melt the laser's plastic rollers and cause problems traversing the X-axis until they are replaced.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.<br /> <br /> * '''Do not cut''' plastics which create '''hazardous fumes''' when burned. Acrylic is ok. '''PVC and vinyl''' releases the '''very toxic gas phosgene''' when heated. Cutting ABS produces cyanide gases. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter. If you are not 100% certain your material is safe, you must verify it first. Try the [http://vimeo.com/1615418|burn test video] or [http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf|polymer identification chart].<br /> <br /> * Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.<br /> <br /> * Do not laser materials that make an excessive amount of smoke. A little smoke is ok, but a large amount can fog up the lens. If it is making a lot of smoke, use more passes at a lower power.<br /> <br /> * When cutting paper, turn down the power to a couple milliamps, or it will catch fire.<br /> <br /> == Non-commercial and Commercial Use ==<br /> * LVL1 provides use of our laser cutter free of charge for '''non-commercial''' use as a public resource. The laser tube has a limited lifetime, but LVL1 pays for the cost of replacement tubes as part of our standard space maintenance costs. We hope this encourages creative use of this fantastic tool, without getting bogged down in accounting. Please note that this is considered 'non-excessive usage within reason'. Excessive, monopolizing, or dangerous use of the Full Spectrum Laser may mean members politely ask you to stop using it or help pay the costs of laser tube replacement.<br /> <br /> * For '''commercial use''' of our laser (i.e. lasering something that you '''plan to sell'''), it is expected that you reimburse LVL1 for your laser time at $1 per minute of operation. <br /> <br /> == Maintenance == <br /> * NEVER use paper towels or other abrasives to clean the mirrors, as it will scratch them. Scratched mirrors will dramaticly reduce the laser's cutting power. Only use alcohol and cotton swabs. Check with the area host if you are unsure.<br /> <br /> == Settings for Cuts ==<br /> Check near the laser for a clipboard and sample bin with various material laser settings. These have been compiled by members through trial-and-error, and is fairly complete. Here are some settings that I believe to be working for various types of materials<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 1 pass<br /> # Plexiglass (.20 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 3 passes<br /> # Masonite (1/8&quot; thick) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 5 passes (it really smokes and stinks)<br /> # Coroplast (1/8&quot;) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 4 passes. (You need a knife to finish cutting the corrugated flutes. Any more passes and you get back scatter on the bottom surface.<br /> # Plywood (1/8&quot; thick from Michaels) Cut 100% power, 30% speed, one pass (NOTE: Best success if you set the focus height at the center of the thickness rather than the top surface.)<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 glued to .20 with super glue ) Cut: 100% power, 20% speed, 4 passes. (NOTE: Set focal height to center of thickness rather than top surface.)<br /> <br /> == Settings for Raster Engrave ==<br /> # Plywood (1/8 thick from Michaels) 50% speed, 500 dpi, 1 pass<br /> <br /> <br /> == Things you can put in the laser cutter ==<br /> * Paper (cardstock could have additives that should not go in the cutter, test a sample)<br /> * Acrylic and several other plastics<br /> * Wood (careful of fire, treated wood could have additives)<br /> * Cotton<br /> * Many other fabrics (moleskin books can have high chlorine content)<br /> * Cell phones (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Laptops (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Leather<br /> * Glass<br /> * Anodized/coated metal<br /> * Chocolate<br /> <br /> == Things you should not put in the laser cutter ==<br /> <br /> * Anything containing chlorine <br /> * PVC (this includes Moleskine notebooks)<br /> * Lexan<br /> * Vinyl<br /> * Bare metal<br /> * Animals<br /> * People<br /> * Butane lighters<br /> * Gasoline or other liquids<br /> * Any powder (the compressed air will blow it away)<br /> <br /> == If you are unsure, check if your material to see if it contains bad PVCs ==<br /> <br /> http://vimeo.com/1615418<br /> <br /> http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf<br /> <br /> == How to use the freakin' laser ==<br /> <br /> 1. Turn the power strip under the table. This powers the laser, water pump and air pump.<br /> <br /> 2. Make sure the water pump is on. (You can feel the 5 gal. bucket vibrate)<br /> <br /> 3. Verify the water pump is on. The laser tube will crack in 30 seconds if the water pump is not on.<br /> <br /> 4. If the water pump is off GO BACK TO STEP 2.<br /> <br /> 5. Make sure the air compressor is on.<br /> <br /> 6. Reset the emergency stop button.<br /> <br /> 7. Turn the key to the on position.<br /> <br /> 8. Rejoice in the light (the florescent light should be on)<br /> <br /> 9. Read this --&gt; [[File:Laser Presentation.pdf]] (some items don't apply this was written by another hackerspace)<br /> <br /> Do<br /> 1. Check for water flow on startup<br /> 2. Make sure exhaust fan is running<br /> 3. Check for fires and put them out ;) <br /> <br /> Don't<br /> <br /> 1. Ever leave the laser unattended (see fires above)<br /> 2. Turn off the “Air” button. That needs to be on to protect the lens<br /> 3. Laser on Vinyl, PVC, Sintra (will produce corrosive and toxic gases)<br /> 4. Cut metals (it won't work)<br /> 5. Bump or touch the mirrors or lenses (will put the machine out of alignment or damage optics)<br /> <br /> == Docs ==<br /> '''Lasercutter/V4 Full Spectrum Laser 40W|Full Spectrum Laser 4th Generation 40W CO2 Laser Engraver - Deluxe Model'''<br /> <br /> * [http://fslaser.com/products/lasers/hobby-lasers/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser Product Site]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&amp;sid=f2e3b07f01c34bab204bb6ef4cb6f7c3 Forums]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/lasersetupv2.html V4 Laser Download Page]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> * Drivers are on the cutter machine. We will figure out another way to get the drivers out to members.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> <br /> Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. Gimp is not very good for doing vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either. <br /> <br /> === RetinaEngrave (Windows) ===<br /> ==== Requirements ====<br /> <br /> Windows XP or Windows 7<br /> <br /> ==== Supported formats/modes ====<br /> ==== How to install ====<br /> <br /> * Download and install USB drivers<br /> * Download and install RetinaEngrave<br /> * Download and install Direct Print drivers<br /> <br /> ==== How to use ====<br /> <br /> == Rastor ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Start RetinaEngrave<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Set the speed to 75% or less. Press Go.<br /> <br /> == Vector ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Copy the image to the clipboard<br /> * Start Inkscape and create a new A4 Landscape document<br /> * Paste the image into the new document<br /> * Select all. Go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Select the Vector tab.<br /> * Set the speed on the right hand side. Press Go.<br /> <br /> === Inkscape Notes ===<br /> * You can import a bitmap and trace it (Path-&gt;Trace Bitmap)<br /> * Hit F2 to Edit Path by Nodes. Spend some time getting used to using this feature and all the nuances of node editing such as adding and subtracting nodes.<br /> * Use Path -&gt; Break apart to be able to select and remove double lines<br /> * VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you add text to vector cut, be sure to Path-&gt;Object to Path on the text or the vector side of Retina Engrave will hang!<br /> * Save often. Inkscape crashes occasionally!<br /> * Use the Bezier Curves and Straight Lines (Pen tool) to draw vectors easily.<br /> * Take advantage of grids and snap<br /> * If you have something that you may want to cut again, you can use Retina Engrave to save your job. It works well and then you do not have to reopen Inkscape.<br /> <br /> === [https://github.com/Metalab/ctrl-cut ctrl-cut] ===<br /> Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon.<br /> <br /> == Quirks ==<br /> <br /> * If your PC is connected to the laser cutter with the usb cable, and you have the RetinaEngrave software and drivers installed, and you still can't get the machine to acknowledge you (e.g. you try to press the &quot;jog&quot; buttons and the laser head doesn't move) try these things:<br /> ** There is a button between the &quot;jog right&quot; and &quot;jog left&quot; button. It shifts between UNLOCK and LOCK. Toggel it and try again!<br /> ** There is a big red emergency stop button on top of the laser cutter. It might be pressed down, which means the machine won't work. Press it again.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.<br /> <br /> * If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 250 dpi 85% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0190.jpg]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0192.jpg]<br /> At 500 dpi, 75% speed was too much. 72% was also too fast. <br /> I also saw the problem at 250 dpi 71% and 1000 dpi 65%. Full spectrum engineering said on Feb 25 that this problem is caused by the belt being too tight. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=310]<br /> <br /> *You don't need to watch the laser every single second, but you should at least stay in the little room while it's on and keep a general eye on it. Why? Because if you're using something burnable, there's a chance it can catch fire. Which is bad.<br /> <br /> * Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Tips ==<br /> <br /> * Before putting your material into the laser cutter, test your image on paper.

These votes have a proxy voting period where you can go the email route. You may also show up to cast your vote in person at a meeting. '''Remember, if it doesn't explicitly say it's a FAP, you must email your vote and not simply reply in the thread.''' <br /> <br /> For '''FAPs''', you may reply in the voting thread. Note that there will be a discussion thread and a voting thread. Vote in the voting thread, discuss in the discussion thread. You may technically cast your vote in person, but this is not common for FAPs. Plan on FAPPING in front of a computer screen in the privacy of your home. <br /> <br /> === Yea, Nay, or Present ===<br /> It is commonly accepted that “'''+1'''” indicates a yea vote and “'''-1'''” a nay vote. However, you may use any language that clearly communicates your intention. Try not to get too creative. <br /> <br /> '''Present''' is also a perfectly valid vote. It shows that you are a caring, engaged member, but don’t have any opinion on the particular vote at hand.

If you want something more detailed and official, read the bylaws. <br /> <br /> == Voting vs. FAPs ==<br /> Regular votes include changes to the bylaws, the election of officers and directors, and an assortment of other one-off issues not explicitly outlined in the bylaws. <br /> <br /> FAPs (short for Funds Allocation Petitions) specifically deal with the spending of money and are usually for the purchase of a piece of equipment. Sometimes it might be for a service or some change in accounting voodoo, but always involves the allocation of funds.<br /> <br /> == How to Cast Your Vote ==<br /> For '''regular voting''', you must email [mailto:secretary@lvl.org secretary@lvl1.org] with your vote. These votes have a proxy voting period where you can go the email route. You may also show up to cast your vote in person at a meeting. '''Remember, if it doesn't explicitly say it's a FAP, you must email your vote and not simply reply in the thread.''' <br /> <br /> For '''FAPs''', you may reply in the voting thread. Note that there will be a discussion thread and a voting thread. Vote in the voting thread, discuss in the discussion thread. You may technically cast your vote in person, but this is not common for FAPs. Plan on FAPPING in front of a computer screen in the privacy of your home. <br /> <br /> == Yea, Nay, or Present ==<br /> It is commonly accepted that “'''+1'''” indicates a yea vote and “'''-1'''” a nay vote. However, you may use any language that clearly communicates your intention. Try not to get too creative. <br /> <br /> '''Present''' is also a perfectly valid vote. It shows that you are a caring, engaged member, but don’t have any opinion on the particular vote at hand. Present votes are valuable as they help us meet quorum. <br /> <br /> == Changing Your Vote ==<br /> Vote as often and as many ways as you like. Often minds are changed after some discussion. '''Only your last vote will count.''' <br /> <br /> == Who Can Vote? ==<br /> All members in good-standing (meaning you are up on your dues). This includes Makership recipients during their membership period.</div>

<p>Jclagg: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Template:Equipment<br /> |owner=LVL1<br /> |serial=2011052503<br /> |model=Full Spectrum Laser MLE-40<br /> |arrived=July 2011<br /> |doesitwork=Working<br /> |contact=Tyler, Tim M, Chris, Aaron<br /> |where=Main space near the makerbot<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == Safety information and training ==<br /> Please be familiar with all of this safety information before using the laser cutter. Improper use will result in destruction of the laser.<br /> <br /> * Please speak to one of the people who is experienced with this laser cutter before using it so we can show you where everything is, how to setup the software, how to use it without breaking it, basic safety tips, etc.<br /> <br /> * Read the instructions first. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> <br /> * '''Always''' make sure the '''water pump and air assist''' are running before operating the laser! A failure of the water pump will '''destroy the laser'''.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' operate the laser cutter '''unattended'''. Because sometimes things '''catch fire'''. A '''CO2 fire extinguisher''' is kept next to the laser to put out small fires. Again, '''NEVER STEP AWAY WHILE THE LASER CUTTER IS OPERATING'''. You must be nearby and undistracted in order to stop the laser cutter in an emergency.<br /> <br /> * '''Only''' use the '''E-stop''' in the case of an '''emergency'''. Usually this means things are on fire. To stop the laser in the case of material positioning or other non-emergency, cancel the job in the Retina Engrave software. If the E-stop has been implemented, stop all laser jobs and turn off the laser before unsetting the E-stop. Failure to do this will fry the electronics and has happened before.<br /> <br /> * '''Never''' turn the current up above '''15 milliamps''', as indicated on the analog meter. Exceeding 15mA will '''destroy the laser tube quickly'''. The multi-turn potentiometer should rarely, if ever, be adjusted. Power percentages below 100% of the 15mA can be adjusted in the Retina Engrave software.<br /> <br /> * If little flames shoot up off of your material, turn down the power. Little flames can start fires and will fog up the lens, which is difficult to clean. Flames will also melt the laser's plastic rollers and cause problems traversing the X-axis until they are replaced.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. This causes an awful noise and must be very bad for the gears. If the laser cutter makes a banging noise, stop it immediately and reposition the laser head before the next cut, or resize the artwork.<br /> <br /> * '''Do not cut''' plastics which create '''hazardous fumes''' when burned. Acrylic is ok. '''PVC and vinyl''' releases the '''very toxic gas phosgene''' when heated. As a general rule, chemical resistant plastics should not be put in the laser cutter. If you are not 100% certain your material is safe, you must verify it first. Try the [http://vimeo.com/1615418|burn test video] or [http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf|polymer identification chart].<br /> <br /> * Be very careful with the silver honeycomb, especially when removing it from the machine to clean little bits of debris off of it. It bends very easily and once bent can not be straightened out completely. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but pressing your thumb in the wrong place will cause permanent marks.<br /> <br /> * Do not laser materials that make an excessive amount of smoke. A little smoke is ok, but a large amount can fog up the lens. If it is making a lot of smoke, use more passes at a lower power.<br /> <br /> * When cutting paper, turn down the power to a couple milliamps, or it will catch fire.<br /> <br /> == Non-commercial and Commercial Use ==<br /> * LVL1 provides use of our laser cutter free of charge for '''non-commercial''' use as a public resource. The laser tube has a limited lifetime, but LVL1 pays for the cost of replacement tubes as part of our standard space maintenance costs. We hope this encourages creative use of this fantastic tool, without getting bogged down in accounting. Please note that this is considered 'non-excessive usage within reason'. Excessive, monopolizing, or dangerous use of the Full Spectrum Laser may mean members politely ask you to stop using it or help pay the costs of laser tube replacement.<br /> <br /> * For '''commercial use''' of our laser (i.e. lasering something that you '''plan to sell'''), it is expected that you reimburse LVL1 for your laser time at $1 per minute of operation. <br /> <br /> == Maintenance == <br /> * NEVER use paper towels or other abrasives to clean the mirrors, as it will scratch them. Scratched mirrors will dramaticly reduce the laser's cutting power. Only use alcohol and cotton swabs. Check with the area host if you are unsure.<br /> <br /> == Settings for Cuts ==<br /> Check near the laser for a clipboard and sample bin with various material laser settings. These have been compiled by members through trial-and-error, and is fairly complete. Here are some settings that I believe to be working for various types of materials<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 1 pass<br /> # Plexiglass (.20 thick) Cut: 100% power, 30% speed, 3 passes<br /> # Masonite (1/8&quot; thick) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 5 passes (it really smokes and stinks)<br /> # Coroplast (1/8&quot;) Cut: 50% power, 50% speed, 4 passes. (You need a knife to finish cutting the corrugated flutes. Any more passes and you get back scatter on the bottom surface.<br /> # Plywood (1/8&quot; thick from Michaels) Cut 100% power, 30% speed, one pass (NOTE: Best success if you set the focus height at the center of the thickness rather than the top surface.)<br /> # Plexiglass (.08 glued to .20 with super glue ) Cut: 100% power, 20% speed, 4 passes. (NOTE: Set focal height to center of thickness rather than top surface.)<br /> <br /> == Settings for Raster Engrave ==<br /> # Plywood (1/8 thick from Michaels) 50% speed, 500 dpi, 1 pass<br /> <br /> <br /> == Things you can put in the laser cutter ==<br /> * Paper (cardstock could have additives that should not go in the cutter, test a sample)<br /> * Acrylic and several other plastics<br /> * Wood (careful of fire, treated wood could have additives)<br /> * Cotton<br /> * Many other fabrics (moleskin books can have high chlorine content)<br /> * Cell phones (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Laptops (check for chlorine in the plastic)<br /> * Leather<br /> * Glass<br /> * Anodized/coated metal<br /> * Chocolate<br /> <br /> == Things you should not put in the laser cutter ==<br /> <br /> * Anything containing chlorine <br /> * PVC (this includes Moleskine notebooks)<br /> * Lexan<br /> * Vinyl<br /> * Bare metal<br /> * Animals<br /> * People<br /> * Butane lighters<br /> * Gasoline or other liquids<br /> * Any powder (the compressed air will blow it away)<br /> <br /> == If you are unsure, check if your material to see if it contains bad PVCs ==<br /> <br /> http://vimeo.com/1615418<br /> <br /> http://www.chymist.com/Polymer%20Identification.pdf<br /> <br /> == How to use the freakin' laser ==<br /> <br /> 1. Turn the power strip under the table. This powers the laser, water pump and air pump.<br /> <br /> 2. Make sure the water pump is on. (You can feel the 5 gal. bucket vibrate)<br /> <br /> 3. Verify the water pump is on. The laser tube will crack in 30 seconds if the water pump is not on.<br /> <br /> 4. If the water pump is off GO BACK TO STEP 2.<br /> <br /> 5. Make sure the air compressor is on.<br /> <br /> 6. Reset the emergency stop button.<br /> <br /> 7. Turn the key to the on position.<br /> <br /> 8. Rejoice in the light (the florescent light should be on)<br /> <br /> 9. Read this --&gt; [[File:Laser Presentation.pdf]] (some items don't apply this was written by another hackerspace)<br /> <br /> Do<br /> 1. Check for water flow on startup<br /> 2. Make sure exhaust fan is running<br /> 3. Check for fires and put them out ;) <br /> <br /> Don't<br /> <br /> 1. Ever leave the laser unattended (see fires above)<br /> 2. Turn off the “Air” button. That needs to be on to protect the lens<br /> 3. Laser on Vinyl, PVC, Sintra (will produce corrosive and toxic gases)<br /> 4. Cut metals (it won't work)<br /> 5. Bump or touch the mirrors or lenses (will put the machine out of alignment or damage optics)<br /> <br /> == Docs ==<br /> '''Lasercutter/V4 Full Spectrum Laser 40W|Full Spectrum Laser 4th Generation 40W CO2 Laser Engraver - Deluxe Model'''<br /> <br /> * [http://fslaser.com/products/lasers/hobby-lasers/40w-deluxe-hobby-laser Product Site]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&amp;sid=f2e3b07f01c34bab204bb6ef4cb6f7c3 Forums]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/lasersetupv2.html V4 Laser Download Page]<br /> * [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/files/FSL_40w_Hobby_Laser_Manual.pdf Manual] <br /> * Drivers are on the cutter machine. We will figure out another way to get the drivers out to members.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> <br /> Any program can print to the laser cutter, I had success using Inkscape and Gimp. Gimp is not very good for doing vector cuts, a major limitation. Inkscape is not the easiest software to learn but it is not difficult either. <br /> <br /> === RetinaEngrave (Windows) ===<br /> ==== Requirements ====<br /> <br /> Windows XP or Windows 7<br /> <br /> ==== Supported formats/modes ====<br /> ==== How to install ====<br /> <br /> * Download and install USB drivers<br /> * Download and install RetinaEngrave<br /> * Download and install Direct Print drivers<br /> <br /> ==== How to use ====<br /> <br /> == Rastor ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Start RetinaEngrave<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Set the speed to 75% or less. Press Go.<br /> <br /> == Vector ==<br /> <br /> * Get an image, any format<br /> * Load the image into The Gimp and make any necessary changes<br /> * Copy the image to the clipboard<br /> * Start Inkscape and create a new A4 Landscape document<br /> * Paste the image into the new document<br /> * Select all. Go to the Path menu and select Trace Bitmap<br /> * Print the image to the Full Spectrum Engineering Driver<br /> * Switch to RetinaEngrave. Select the Vector tab.<br /> * Set the speed on the right hand side. Press Go.<br /> <br /> === Inkscape Notes ===<br /> * You can import a bitmap and trace it (Path-&gt;Trace Bitmap)<br /> * Hit F2 to Edit Path by Nodes. Spend some time getting used to using this feature and all the nuances of node editing such as adding and subtracting nodes.<br /> * Use Path -&gt; Break apart to be able to select and remove double lines<br /> * VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you add text to vector cut, be sure to Path-&gt;Object to Path on the text or the vector side of Retina Engrave will hang!<br /> * Save often. Inkscape crashes occasionally!<br /> * Use the Bezier Curves and Straight Lines (Pen tool) to draw vectors easily.<br /> * Take advantage of grids and snap<br /> * If you have something that you may want to cut again, you can use Retina Engrave to save your job. It works well and then you do not have to reopen Inkscape.<br /> <br /> === [https://github.com/Metalab/ctrl-cut ctrl-cut] ===<br /> Amir Hassan and Marius Kintel are working on open source laser cutter drivers through the CUPS interface. Primarily they're working on getting it operational with an Epilog cutter, but would like to expand past that soon.<br /> <br /> == Quirks ==<br /> <br /> * If your PC is connected to the laser cutter with the usb cable, and you have the RetinaEngrave software and drivers installed, and you still can't get the machine to acknowledge you (e.g. you try to press the &quot;jog&quot; buttons and the laser head doesn't move) try these things:<br /> ** There is a button between the &quot;jog right&quot; and &quot;jog left&quot; button. It shifts between UNLOCK and LOCK. Toggel it and try again!<br /> ** There is a big red emergency stop button on top of the laser cutter. It might be pressed down, which means the machine won't work. Press it again.<br /> <br /> * It is easy to make the laser head bang against the side or top of the unit. Don't let it do that.<br /> <br /> * If you are doing a raster engrave, you can not set the speed too high. Here is some artwork on paper, raster engrave, 250 dpi 85% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0190.jpg]. Here is the same image at 71% speed: [http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alanrockefeller/IMG_0192.jpg]<br /> At 500 dpi, 75% speed was too much. 72% was also too fast. <br /> I also saw the problem at 250 dpi 71% and 1000 dpi 65%. Full spectrum engineering said on Feb 25 that this problem is caused by the belt being too tight. [http://www.fullspectrumengineering.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=310]<br /> <br /> *You don't need to watch the laser every single second, but you should at least stay in the little room while it's on and keep a general eye on it. Why? Because if you're using something burnable, there's a chance it can catch fire. Which is bad.<br /> <br /> * Turn off the machine when not in use. The air pump gets hot if left on for long periods. It is not quite hot enough to cause a problem, but it will last longer if it is not always on, and turning it off will keep dust from accumulating inside the laser unnecessarily.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Tips ==<br /> <br /> * Before putting your material into the laser cutter, test your image on paper. If you don't test on paper first you will ruin a lot of the material you are cutting. Once it looks good on paper you can place your material on the paper so you know it is positioned properly, and refocus if the material is thick.<br /> <br /> * When engraving raster images, they go much faster if you use a lower DPI. The lowest setting is 250 DPI and that is enough for most things. Use higher DPI only with high resolution images and with materials that show the difference.<br /> <br /> === Finger boxes ===<br /> http://www.frag-den-spatz.de/index.php?menue=/shop/menue.htm&amp;page=/shop/boxgenerator/fingerbox.html<br /> <br /> http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:845<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Cutting power / speeds ==<br /> <br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;** There is a list floating around laser cutter with setting that have been tested **&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> The best way to use the laser is with a vector image.<br /> You will have more control over power and speed.<br /> <br /> ''[http://wiki.nycresistor.com/wiki/Laser_Power NYCR's Laser Power table]''<br /> <br /> * Typing paper - 100% speed, 3 milliamps<br /> * 2mm acrylic - 25% speed, 8 milliamps<br /> * 5/8ths inch acrylic - 1% speed, 12 milliamps, 2 passes<br /> * Plastic with metalic coating - 5 - 7 milliamps rastor, 3 ma vector<br /> * Linen - 70% speed, 4 milliamps, 1 pass<br /> <br /> == Specifications ==<br /> <br /> * Maximum material size: 13&quot; x 16&quot;<br /> * Maximum engravable area: 9.5&quot; x 14.5&quot;<br /> * Maximum material thickness: 2.75&quot;<br /> * CO2 Laser Wavelength: 10.6um<br /> * Maximum Laser Power: 40W<br /> <br /> == [[Talk:Laser_Cutter|Discussion]] ==<br /> '''[[Talk:Laser_Cutter|On the Discussion page!]]'''<br /> <br /> Laser cutter purchase discussion is here http://wiki.lvl1.org/Laser_Cutter2<br /> <br /> ==Maintenance Log==<br /> * 04/18/2014 - Maintenance log created.</div>

<p>Jclagg: </p> <hr /> <div>=Dollar Store MacGyver Conference (D.S.M.C)=<br /> <br /> After the E.P.I.C. conference at LVL1, the participants were rounded up for another event on April 12, 2013. This event shall hence forth be known as the Dollar Store MacGyver Conference (D.S.M.C.). The conference was designed to test the ingenuity of its participants when constrained by costs and materials. The results are presented here as a warning to those who wish to follow in their footsteps.<br /> <br /> ==Rules==<br /> <br /> The conference's goal was to see what the LVL1 members and visitors could build if trapped in a dollar store. Several members, independently visited local dollar stores and acquired items at random. The items were then stored away from view until the start of the conference. Once the conference attendees were sequestered, the collected materials were dumped on a table and it was a free for all to build.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Table-Spill-1.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Table-Spill-3.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Table-Spill-4.jpg]]<br /> <br /> &lt;table&gt;<br /> &lt;th&gt; Materials Available &lt;/th&gt;<br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Pedometers<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Fans<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * LED lights (stick up, clip on and tea candle)<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Steel Wool<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Popsicle Sticks<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Window Alarms<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Salad Tongs<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Plastic Containers<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Yoyos<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Batteries<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Laptop Stands<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Water Squirt Toy<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Strap and Cables<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Cap Gun Caps<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Water/Wet Bead Soil Replacement Weird Stuff<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Funnel<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Fish Bowl<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Water/Spray Bottle<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Mouse Traps<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Punching Balloons<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Rubber Bands<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Picture Hanging Kit<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Spikey Ball<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * Toothbrushes<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;tr&gt;<br /> &lt;td&gt;<br /> * DVD<br /> &lt;/td&gt;<br /> &lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Projects==<br /> ===Safety Goggles===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Safety-Goggles.jpg]]<br /> <br /> When preparing for any build, safety is job one. So how do you build safely when you have stuff/material/debris but no eye protection? You build your eye protection. This safety gear is made from packaging of the items bought. Rubber bands supply the attachment mechanism. The googly eyes add an extra level of safety by protecting the pupils from danger and direct viewing of your work.<br /> <br /> ===Fire===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Fire-3.jpg]]<br /> <br /> All projects at the LVL1 hackerspace involve a fire, whether they meant to or not. This project was designed to show our mastery over one of the four basic elements. The materials in use are steel wool, batteries, popsicle sticks, tape and baking pan. They put batteries together and lit steel wool while using the popsicle sticks as kindling. The controlled test inside lead to outdoor bonfire.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Fire-1.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Fire-2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ===Crossbow===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Crossbow-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Put any number of hackers on a project and someone is going to make a weapon. This project spawned a weapon as expected. This project was the most complex. Instead of describing it, I'll post a testimonial from one of the creators:<br /> <br /> ''Had a great time last night! Mike and I made a projectile launcher out of a laptop stand, toothbrushes, popsicle sticks, binder clips, rubber bands, and a strange water toy. We had a successful launch of a creepy pink wet sphere (what were those things anyway?) I'm looking forward to more adventures. :) Sara''<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Crossbow-3.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Crossbow-2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Night hunting is supported by this device.<br /> <br /> ===Marionette===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Marionette-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Once you have weapons, you need soldiers. To satisfy the soldier deficiency, a marionette was created. The marionette consisted of a container for a hat, funnel for a face, tea candles for eyes, spray bottle nozzle for a nose and laptop holder for a body.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Marionette-2.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Marionette-3.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ===Mouse Trap Car===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Car-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Transportation was on the mind of one conference attendee as they created a car powered by a mousetrap. The vehicle has wheels consisting of a yoyo and tea candle bases. The body is the mouse trap with binder clips holding the pencil axles.<br /> <br /> ===Salad Tongs for Pacifists===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> There was controversy. Rumors of DARPA involvement lead one hacker to take the pacifist path and create specialized salad tongs. The tongs have a digital counter made from a pedometer. An alarm was affixed and sounds off when the tongs are open as a indicator of use (think beeping when a vehicle backs ups). Finally, a light was incorporated for those times when salad is retrieved in darkness. A lanyard is included for easy transportation.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-2.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-3.jpg]]<br /> <br /> =Conclusion=<br /> [[File:DSMC-Conclusion-1.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Conclusion-2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Words can't describe the conference ending, so here are two pictures.<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.lvl1.org/Main_Page Main Wiki Page]<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.lvl1.org/LVL1_Movie_Night Movie Night Listing]</div>

I&#039;m calling it &quot;The Possi...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>POSSIBILITY BOX<br /> As we start camp season, I want to start a special collection of donations for the Maker camp, CYOSA, and any future related project. I'm calling it &quot;The Possibility Box&quot; and propose using one of the large lunch bins. I've tried to provide a as concise a list as I can of things that have many possibilities, and those that are not useful or are too plentiful. Aside from donations, I'd suggest materials might be found during purges of the scary closet, exhibits shop, or storage. I will curate the box and remove excess or useless items. I can write this up a little more concisely for the WW and am willing to speak about it at an all staff meeting if you think that's useful. Also, I'm willing to come in and do some extra hallway cleaning to make a space for this. <br /> <br /> GOOD<br /> - Radio Controlled Toys or ANY electronic toy that lights up, makes noise, or has a motor in it. <br /> - Scrap Wood, PVC pipe, metal, pipe, plexiglass, or other materials. <br /> - Fabric, sewing supplies<br /> - Anything that has a sensor (i.e. motion activated lights, solar garden lights)<br /> - Assorted screws, fasteners, springs, hardware<br /> - Metal or hard plastic boxes (not rubbermaid/gladware/etc)<br /> - Cordless power tools (working or not)<br /> - Small appliances or other machines<br /> - Cables, wires, chargers, adapters<br /> <br /> BAD<br /> - Computers<br /> - Printers<br /> - CRT (tube style) TVs, monitors<br /> - DVD players<br /> - cell phones<br /> <br /> <br /> ADULT PROGRAMMING<br /> So every Friday at LVL1 is &quot;Movie NIght&quot;. A movie is picked along with idea for experiments, demos, construction, other activities based on a theme related to the movie. About half the time, no one actually watches the movie. Often, Danielle and I have brought ideas from KSC--kid stuff--and the adults go nuts. You've all seen dads take over building with blocks. I also always hear from adults, &quot;I WANT TO DO THAT, THAT SOUNDS FUN!&quot;. So possibly follow this &quot;movie night&quot; model or go with just a themed party of some sort, but let the adults do kid stuff. Add a cash bar and you're gold. Here's some evidence:<br /> http://youtu.be/6FYUmK8vGB8<br /> http://www.lvl1.org/2013/01/19/movie-night-at-lvl1/</div>

The marionette consisted of a container for a hat, funnel for a face, tea candles for eyes, spray bottle nozzle for a nose and laptop holder for a body.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Marionette-2.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Marionette-3.jpg]]<br /> <br /> ===Mouse Trap Car===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Car-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Transportation was on the mind of one conference attendee as they created a car powered by a mousetrap. The vehicle has wheels consisting of a yoyo and tea candle bases. The body is the mouse trap with binder clips holding the pencil axles.<br /> <br /> ===Salad Tongs for Pacifists===<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-1.jpg]]<br /> <br /> There was controversy. Rumors of DARPA involvement lead one hacker to take the pacifist path and create specialized salad tongs. The tongs have a digital counter made from a pedometer. An alarm was affixed and sounds off when the tongs are open as a indicator of use (think beeping when a vehicle backs ups). Finally, a light was incorporated for those times when salad is retrieved in darkness. A lanyard is included for easy transportation.<br /> <br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-2.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Salad-Tongs-3.jpg]]<br /> <br /> =Conclusion=<br /> [[File:DSMC-Conclusion-1.jpg]]<br /> [[File:DSMC-Conclusion-2.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Words can't describe the conference ending, so here are two pictures.<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.lvl1.org/Main_Page Main Wiki Page]<br /> <br /> [http://wiki.lvl1.org/LVL1_Movie_Night Movie Night Listing]</div>
