My laser shipped! It’s at my house ready to be set up! Meanwhile I’m on the other side of the Pacific for work… of course.
My plan is to fly home on Friday, get at least some sleep, then do the setup on Saturday - and livestream it all on Twitch, because what could be more amusing than setting up a powerful and expensive laser while jetlagged?
So yeah, if you’re interested, tune into twitch.tv/memnus on Saturday, noon Pacific.
The unboxing part was fun! The setup was … less successful. It’s stuck at the calibration stage, and I’m letting it sit and think about what it’s done while I have food.
Let it sit a while but not a great while. 10 minutes would be overkill unless you are on dialup. It’s been a flaky week. Mine took a lot longer this morning. Didn’t seem right. Opened the lid saw the lid open status changed on the GFUI, and closed it. It immediately calibrated. Of course every comment is anecdotal since my machine is one of many.
Thanks to advice in another thread I have the apparently-mechanical bugs worked out, but the app is stuck on “Preparing your design” when I try to print the founder’s ruler.
