Ok cheers Bradders for the help, may try the allen key version first then!

Hi Martin,

Yeah I think I had read that somewhere here on the forum. Can I also reset the X and Y in the same way. The red dot hovers around 3mm from the corner of the honeycomb bed.

If so, is this a different CTRL + F (key), than CTRL + F3 for the Z axis?

Pete

So do I sit the allen key on one of the two raised sections of the base, ie not where the plug connector is for the tables? Might have to try and take a photo to make it a little clearer!

Hi, I'm looking for an engraving bed for my laser to check whether it is misaligned or not!

Even if there are none for sale anywhere, if someone had one I could borrow briefly that would be fantastic.

Cheers

How much would the engraving table be roughly if I was to buy one?

I'm halfway through making a height tool after copying the one from th school I used to work at. Not quite finished the milling for the flats!

Definitely need to get back up and unending ASAP!

Hi, I was cutting some 6mm laser ply yesterday but the laser would not cut right through. I have looked on the forum and have seen the post about the new laser cartridge so rang Denford to check on price - WOW! The gent I spoke to said to check the focal height before I do this as they can become mi...

I have tried the work around above but still to no avail. I do not get any advanced settings this way. I have downloaded the v1.29.5 drivers and the v1.3 ones from the denford site but does not work with either. I wonder if yours has already got the drivers installed? I do not have the CD only what ...

Bradders, that file seems to be the newer VLS driver, it doesn't seem to work with my VL-300!

Thanks for the quick reply again,
Pete

Yeah I see the USB hub on the back of the LAser, but there are no USB's on the extractor unit. Maybe they offered them with a different extractor which had them at some stage!

Hi, Since my last post I have my VL-300 working properly. I have just cleaned both mirrors and the lens and will now cut through 3mm acrylic with ease (had to do three passes in order to cut through yesterday!) I have used a larger Universal Laser at school (I'm a DT Teacher) and am very used to chn...

You are a LEGEND!

Now I just need to figure out how to use it!

Cheers

Hi, I haven't got it connected to a computer as of yet! I have done a little more testing and found that the 7 pin connecter to each of the power supply is preventing the machine from powering up. The datasheet for the power supply is very vague with information about this connector. There are 3 wir...

Hi, I have recently aquired a VL-300 from a school that was closing down. Currently the machine will not switch on, and I had expected that from reading the forum the 48V power supply would need replacing. I have taken these out and tested them and both units work correctly. Each gives 48V at the ou...
