Having only used the laser for some Christmas cutting out on 3mm ply this problem wasn't obvious until I needed to cut out some jigs for the new Mr Carve M1 Pro fibre laser from 3mm acrylic.
The machine simply can't cut through 3mm acrylic at the recommended settings in the Red Dragon Power Calculator for my laser.
I spent two days on and off, cleaning and aligning the mirrors etc. I also had to adjust the tube position as the laser was not hitting the first mirror in the centre, whilst this isn't crucial the fact that the tube is not fitted to an adjustable holder is somewhat annoying!
Whilst I initially ignored the damage to the underside of the machine, I did mention it when the machine was installed, I am beginning to get annoyed by the damage, the fact that the machine didn't work unless the water flow sensor was bypassed when it was installed, the fact that I have had to fix that myself with a new water pump at £75 because the supplied one couldn't produce enough flow to trigger the flow sensor switch, the bad earth wiring and other things, there has been no offer to compensate me for any of these things and no communication other than an email saying the points I raised will be passed on and of course the machine is now not safely usable...
I will be fitting the new milliamp meter once the housing has finished printing and will film that later.
