Hey, I used the Laser module of the SM2 for the first time today. Followed the instructions on the screen, the laser was working ( saw the beam through my goggles/ the enclosure) but the wood surface was empty after the autofocus run.

Are your enclosure doors closed properly? As a safety feature, if the enclosure believes the doors are open it will not allow the laser to be used at a power able to engrave/cut anything.

Happy to help. I would ha e other suggestions too for the enclosure. Should I share them via mail

Ooh…good thought! Going to steal this and go post that over to the firmware updates thread.

Yes, you can send us an email at support@snapmaker.com if you have any feature requests. That way we can learn about the needs of our users and can make improvements accordingly.
