Space laser cutter, not really working

by Andy Gaskell

Hiya We were trying to do some laser cutting yesterday with the Trotec laser cutter. Unfortunately it seems to not really be working just now. I last did some etching/cutting back at the start of October, but I think it wasn't working a week or so ago either. So I was just wondering if anyone has used it successfully in October or November? If anyone noticed anything different about it or it's software set-up. If so, please reply & let me know. It seems to have an issue with the laser not really firing. Kev and I checked all the obvious things yesterday, with no luck. Anyway, no trauma, just a quick email to say it's not really working, and if anyone had thoughts or ideas about it. Probably best if no-one tinkers with it, or tries to use it, till we've had a bit of time to try to figure it out. It's got a wiki page at https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=projects:laser_cutter Cheers Andy

Re: [57north-announce] Open Tuesday, 2022-11-29

by Wouter Piessens

Hey all, I will be in today as well. My aim is to do some reading up methods to bike hub dynamos and the conversion of the output (AC 6V 3W) to a power bank. This seems to be quite a faf, and commercial available solutions in the bike world are not within my budget...(or I am just too stingy ;-) ) See you tonight.

I should probably take apart my stopwatch for curling and work out why it turns off randomly and rattles when I shake it.
