I think there is too much emphasis here on settings and not on broad topics of how to use the software and hardware. | |||
You can post best practice notes here and then we can go over them as a group [[User:Skynaya|Skynaya]] ([[User talk:Skynaya|talk]]) 09:03, 5 March 2017 (CST) | People are getting angry that this machine is sitting there and there hasn't been a process approved by the area host for conducting authorizations. | ||
We need to work out in very short order what needs to be conveyed to a user for safe and effective operation, emphasis on the safety of members, bystanders, the space and the machine. | |||
Specific things: | |||
what's up with adjusting the focus at different points on the bed, | |||
how do you move the head so that the green-box start point can be moved around the bed, | |||
how do you achieve 1:1 match between the software interface and the bed, is that even possible? | |||
talk about e-stop procedures and fire safety procedures | |||
what are special or new considerations for lasering with the Boss that don't apply or didn't apply to the Epilog? | |||
is there a document yet that anyone has made and could you share it please, with a rough draft for a guide to conducting authorizations? | |||
if nobody else has one I will write and post a half-baked one based on what I know so far. | |||
what are the top 3 videos or sites for advice about this stuff? most of the online content I have seen for Boss/RDWorks/Laserwors has been bad, exasperatingly wordy and annoying. I have not found any excellent resources yet. If you have them, post them. | |||

|Fairly good engrave, lots of acrylic dust. With the power of this laser, might be better to have protective film on for engraving and cutting. | |||
