I just set up my GF Plus, it burned 1 number and stopped. We turned it off and checked the head and mirror.
Reset it all. Closed all programs and restated by opening program to make the gift of good measure. Turned on GF. The camera is not focusing or reading the barcode on the proof material. We selected the material and tried to cut again. This time, no m
Double check your PG settings. They have a habit of resetting to basically zero when you go in to look at them. You can post a picture of them if you’re not sure.
Was this a default design, the Gift of Good measure maybe, or?
I would turn it off and double-check the white cable that connects to the head. If you have any questions about how it connects, post a pic up here. Make sure that none of the pins are bent, that it’s routed straight into the connector - not looped back over the head.
Yes it is. Like I said it started and did that little bit and then kept going we cancelled the cut after some time of it doing nothing as I feared it might cause damage to the machine. We attempted a couple more time after checking the setting, checking the connections to make sure it was good. We even tried more than one piece of wood that came with the GF just in case it was a bad piece of wood (I know crazy thinking) and nothing ever happened but the clock kept counting down and the head kept moving around like it was working.
Worried about causing damage we have turned it off and I will wait for further information. Do I need to email them as well as this post?
One thing you might try, is to try printing the Metric version of that ruler.
We had an interesting case where problems with the Imperial one went away with the metric one - but your issue is much more severe (theirs was just skipping/reducing power)…
Thank you, I will try again shortly, we have a storm over us so we will wait until its passed before trying to use the GF again. I truly appreciate all your help.
OK the weather passed and all is good to craft again. I turned on the GF and it did its run through, the tube pushed all the bubbles and got centered and all that. I tried as you suggested and tried to do a cut of the metric GoGM and I let it run the whole time. no light in the tube and then half way through the tube had a little flashed in the back right corner but still did not accomplish the task. I will turn it off again and wait for an email. thank you for everyone’s help so far.
Thank you for posting all the detailed troubleshooting you have already done. I’m so sorry to hear about the laser not appearing.
Unfortunately, after reviewing the logs from these prints it looks like your unit is experiencing an issue that we can’t resolve remotely. I’m recommending we replace this one. I’ll be in touch via email to sort out the details. I’m so sorry about the bad news.
