Mini 60W Laser
Overview
This is the "smaller laser" or "the laser fewer people know how to use". It's a 60W laser with a bed that is roughly 70 cm x 50 cm
Turn on the laser
If you look at the machine, you'll see the key slot right on the front.
Yeah, you're going to ignore that. The switches on the side are where you actually need to turn it on. Get both of them.
Load the laser
Ok, there is a lot of information in this next photo, so I'll provide details after your eyes glaze over.
- Home position: This is where the laser will return to when you tell it to home.
- Laser pointer: This is where actual cutting happens. There is a positioning LED that is shining, but it is not the cutting laser.
- Z-axis knob: This system has manual bed leveling, and you'll use this to position the laser focus.
Focus the laser
The process for focusing the laser is the same for both lasers, the only difference is that you do it using the LaserCut 5.3 software on the PewPew9000 and you use the manual knob on this one.
