Re: {LVL1 Members} New Space Laser planning group

[Kevin Costello]

Thanks everyone for working to get the MIRA9 laser acquired and in the space! Here’s a couple of the photos I grabbed. I’ll put the rest on discord and can send some to Evita.

Shoutout to Joe for leading this charge, discussion and effort, everyone did awesome and no one got hurt! …?

Would those interested like to join tomorrow and Monday night for any in-person discussion about setup. 

All thoughts and details discussed can and will be summarized on this thread, 

I don’t think there’s anything major being missed so far as we sort out specifics. 

Thanks for calling out constraints so that everyone knows what’s going on. And again thanks to everyone that made this happen. 

Kevin Costello

Mr. President

I was thinking about that and we might have to move some sewing stuff to add a new PC station for it.

Bill (Loc doc) suggested that the lasers share the same badge reader. The current door controllers do not have any additional ports available. If we set up a badge reader just for the new laser, it would require a new controller and a separate database, a lot of extra work. 

There could be audit trail issues with just one reader. That will need to be discussed. 

The connections to the laser are via USB. I believe both Lightburn and RD8 can support two lasers. 

Only downside to using one computer is that only one person can use the laser at a time.

Thank you for this Joe.  And  thank you for finding and arranging this. 

I agree with this, however I don't know if this would fall under prep for power on but two additional items:

1.) adding the badge in/out set up 

2.) would this laser need its own computer?  Particularly if both lasers can be used at the same time.

As for the original rabbit laser I am very much for keeping it both for its' larger size and better options for dealing with larger rolls of fabric.

Like to get a few people together to plan the install of the new laser. 

Items include:

Power

Venting

Alignment 

Prep for power on

???

The new box cannot be powered  on until all

Of these items have been addressed. 

The install / operations manual are on the Z drive in the Aeon Midia 9 folder. 

While this laser is very nice, the Rabbit has two things the new laser does not.

Larger bed

Longer Z axis. 

I would think we would want to keep both lasers.
