40w Co2 Laser Cutter (new gadget next to Sherline arrived)

yes it arrived. shipped from London but its Chinese.. here what you'll need. XP, moshidraw and coreldraw. corel produces plt file and moshi uses that. don't assume that moshi interprets plt files correctly. always check before you used to. don't work with two different jobs without exiting and re-enterig moshi. you cannot predict what it will do nor what kind of noises you'll hear from device :) Some MUSTs you'll face sooner or later: Replace stepper controller with usual ones you use with mach3 replace laser power adjustment potentiometer and miliampmeter with pic based digital ones use g-code instead of plt file, so get rid of coreldraw... there are many image to gcode and vector to g-code converters for laser. you'll need to modify laser but it will worth it.
