@Ripton I've never failed to get one of these machines working correctly so feel free to contact me for any help.

@tommegna What is the problem? I have used EleksEgg with T2Laser and it works well.

@Ripton I would be happy to help you get it working if you want to use T2Laser (free trial). Send me an email or contact me at my website.

@money167 The wheels you got are for the later machines with V-slot extrusions, you have T-slot so need the older wheels unless you are going to upgrade the frame.

Please contact me directly for T2Laser software questions. The support e-mail address is in my profile and on my website.

@cheque19 Are you sure the driver is the correct one? It should be the 2011 version as newer drivers are unreliable.

If so it must be a software issue, you can try T2Laser (free trial) and see if that connects but make sure you reboot and don't use Elekscam as it will lock the port and prevent other software from working.

@cloholdo The Grbl parameters are stored on your controller, you can manually edit using debug mode but most functions are automated in T2Laser just by selecting the menu.

Yes you can use any laser power you like, but keep in mind these are false values as "20W" is really 5W or less optical power. EleksMaker do not use false power values like most other vendors but really the 5.5W is the most from a single diode laser module. If you need more power the option is either a dual diode module such as Endurance laser or similar or perhaps over-driving you can get 6W or 6.5W but lower life time.

If you use more than a true 3.5W laser module I would suggest upgrading the power supply or perhaps using a dedicated power supply and splitter so it does not overload the controller board traces.

@cloholdo You can also easily swap the axis in the menu (T2Laser settings) or by manually changing the Grbl parameters.

@therealjedidad You can buy foam tubing (closed cell / EVA) of the correct diameter or perhaps use heatshrink.

@Jameson4170 T2Laser supports plasma mode which may be helpful.
