Laster cut Stand _1 of 3 (plywood).pdf (44.9 KB)
Trying to cut the board as shown in the pdf and using the setting in the picture above.
It worked for awhile until it suddenly not cutting anymore but the head keeps moving.
After running around 8-10 cuts (each cut is around 6 mins), the laser was no longer engraving or cutting but the head unit keeps moving. I went through safety manual and even start up manual I could found and also make sure the head plugged in, clean, and the mirror was in correctly, but it still did not function properly.
The laser seemed to get weaker until it died on its own after 8-10 cuts. The 5mm plywood that provided by your company has got a little bit over-burnt (shown by the below photos) in the machine’s last cut but I did follow the setting that glowforge provided.
I did try to contact CS, their reply is asking us to send back the unit without explaining what’s happening/broken and just keep saying it’s not something they can resolve remotely without explaining further. I find it hard to justify paying the courier fee which is a thousand dollars without knowing what’s broken, and to be honest the service is rather disappointing, I made my pre-order back to as early as 2015 and only receive the unit in Sep 2019, and the machine stopped working in just a few months and I am not even using it frequently, and the CS is like that.
I wonder if anyone has similar issue on the machine? Appreciate if anyone can shed some light and guide me to a fix. Even better would be the CS team of glowforge reply me and work out a fix or better solution together.
Thanks everyone.
