Hi, I’m new to forum but I need advice on next steps for this (IMO) mechanical issue.
I use my snapmaker original a lot and rely on it to work properly and have had no issues to date- very happy with it. In the middle of a production run the laser stopped engraving .06 bamboo flat stock. The laser is visible and appears no different to me than normal, but is not burning the image - I’ve done hundreds of these and was in the middle of a run - no interruption in power or settings. The snapmaker is isolated from input and uses USB stick to load .nc images. Tried increasing fixed power at 70% and 100% - no change. Dusted the aperture lightly - no change. I need some guidance please - should I get my hammer?
Have you ever cleaned your Laserlens?
I dusted what off what I could, because that was my first thought too. Should I clean deeper - can I remove the lens or unscrew the cap? - I just don’t want to damage it further. Thanks for replying, you’re awesome.
You should clean it with somthing for glasses or objectives and a earstick carefully.
Mine from A350 had loosen power and cleaning was the goal at least.
Sadly, it’s not a FOD thing. I cleaned it and no change. That is still how it’s behaving though - like it’s dirty. Everything seems to be working normally - except this one thing.
Is it possible to get Snapmaker on the phone?
