60 watt laser printer

[stevegutschow]

The 60 watt laser printer "z" axis lost its calibration.

On the 2nd attempt to focus the z the machine went all the way down.

Thanks,

Switch to manual for the time being. One of the area champions should chime in tomorrow about fixing it.

I cleaned it and vacuumed out dust and such, and it’s working fine now.

One thing I’ve noticed with the automatic z is that the table struggles to move up and when it’s weighted too much. So while it’s hard to get an exact z when your material has warping (like 1/8” Baltic birch often does), it might be better to not weight it down with the auto z and then tweak manually after you weight down the corners. 

Also, please clean the air assist cone when you’re cleaning off the table. Even when the table is cleaned, that cone inevitably looks like it’s been used to make s’mores.

I've heard about making s'mores in the laser cutter.  ;-) LOL.
