the big blue lasercutter. not to be confused with the white or red ones.

please talk to Grey or Uglyhack if you want to get involved in helping fixing it!

Instructions

Make sure to turn on both the cooler and the laser cutter at the same time! Running the laser without the cooler may cause damage.

There are two pieces of software we've tried that work about as well: Lightburn 2.0.4 and the GbosLaser software v2.6.3

In order to connect to a PC, you need a USB-A to USB-A cable. Connect this between the "PC" port on the cutter and a PC, the PC needs to be powered on. Now use the green "On" button on the laser to turn on the controller. It should show up as an FTDI serial device.

Actual cutting doesn't seem to work yet.

TODO

  • take pics
  • fix internal wiring system to ensure the laser only turns on if the chiller is on
    Quick fix - used a switched power strip
  • ventilation system??
