  Cotton cuts OK but may require 2 or more passes to remove stray fibers. If you've done felt it's similar which is why I always buy the man made felt (which is polyester or a poly blend) as it cuts clean and the edge gets sealed perfectly.

  While on the subject, denim (which is cotton twill) can be "engraved" at low power. It actually bleaches out the dye and leaves the cotton unharmed.

  @EleksMaker-Z

  I would love to see some lengths of extruded aluminum and longer cables and belts in your store. At this time I don't see anything. I will hold off buying any pieces for another couple days just in case they become available. Like I mentioned, I did find some parts that would allow for a meter square of engraving area. I will be looking for updates dates. Thanks!

  Try changing the speed in the window that opens when you load a picture or create text

  Adjust the laser power in SETTING

  @EleksMaker-Z

  was there work for new driver board? Ir was it new mana board to stop laser from short burst when software turned on?

  yes , in this point , we changed the blue one driver board , it wont be always light when power on , it will only flash at very shot time , and auto turn off .

  sounds like a good way for unscrupulous people to add virus' to the software.

  Yes, thanks for summing it up here @nottingham82 .
  The laser connection topic is resolved by reversing the poles.

  Unfortunately now the laser does not turn off and does not react on the commands from the software. Still working on that.

  Wow! what an odyssey!!!

  You were totally right, that the poles were switched.
  The laser works now. to 100%. And never turns off.

  Now i have the situation that the stepmothers work as usual but the laser doesn't get the signal to turn off or on.
  Not in elekscam nor t2. Only the switch off the board makes it turn off again.
  tried flashing. 0.9 and back to 1.1.
  Disconnection all cables and turn on again.
  restart the computer, using my other computer.

  If the board (or better the boards, because it looks like the 3 axis one got effected too) are now dead, then i did it either with reversing the laser or by connecting the mill. really?

  probably smoke build up residue. installing a fan that blows smoke away from your work piece can be beneficial.

  Thanks! The two of you took the question right out of my mind. Fortunately, I have many more!

  I now know how to set up the laser on the machine and know that it functions.

  I've done enough carving to know everything works. Next step is to try using the laser. I've been using Easel from Inventables to generate the g-code. How do I generate g-code that turns the laser on and off rather than moving it up and down? Is there something in Easel that switches from carving to burning? Or do I need something other than Easel to generate the g-code?

  That looks neat!
  And now i know what those black thingies are for.
  Makes all sense.
  Need to turn the motors any way to let the cables run like that. No big deal.

  Thanks guys!

  @eleksuser
  I had a similar issue so I added 4 1/32 flat nylon washers so that the there was a smooth yet tight surface that allowed the wheels to spin, Other wise the wheels were dragging and some places the belt would slip. This immediately solved my problem. If you look at the X axis it has spacers on each side if the wheels but the Y axis does not so the nylon flat washers add that. It worked for me, not smooth as glass.
