Lasercut 5.3 is required to prepare a design file for our [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]]. Its drawing functions are apparently quite terrible, so pretty much all users in forums etc. recommend to only use it for the very last steps!

If you are familiar with "our" previous laser cutter (the loaned Epilog Zing), this software will pretty much take over what you used to do with [[Visicut]].

LaserCut 5.3 is installed on a dedicated PC, which is located next to the [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] itself.

'''This page needs more information as soon as we gather the necessary experience!'''

''starting points:''
* ''[https://hpclaser.co.uk/lasercut5-3-software/ summary by our [[laser]]'s retailer]''
* [https://bristol.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=equipment:a0_laser_cutter:prep Guide by the Bristol Hackspace]
== Installation ==
We got a copy of LaserCut 5.3 from HPC Laser. You can get it from the orange USB drive located next to the laser cutter. However, the version we got does only work with the "soft dog" USB dongle, which ''will be'' attached permanently to the dedicated PC.

In order to prepare files on your own computer, you can install the software from another source. Most sources include an executable called "Lasercut53_Demo.exe" which can be used without the dongle but cannot operate the machine itself. The demo version also does not want you to save or open project files, but there are workarounds:
* '''saving''' is reportedly offered when closing the program
* '''opening''' of a finished project is best done with our full version at the Space, but also possible after some "terrible" exporting/re-importing [http://wiki.makeitlabs.com/training/laser/lasercut53personal]

In case you plan to do these, please make sure that you replace your syscfg.ini with the one shipped with our laser (can be found on the mentioned USB drive).

Installation notes:
* The software only natively works on Windows. Try [http://wiki.makeitlabs.com/training/laser/lasercut53personal Wine or other methods] at your own risk, but be aware it's 32-bit software
* The software must be installed in C:\LaserCut53 in order to work properly. There is a parameter in syscfg.ini which indicates the installation path. Changing it might get it to work from other locations as well but is untested. Try at your own risk.

==Setup==
===Setting the Worktable Size===
The first thing to do after installation is to check for the correct worktable size. Our laser has a size of 90x60 cm. Please ensure your worktable is set up correctly.

If it is not, you can change it by navigating to <code>File-->Machine Options</code> (or pressing Ctrl+J). 
In the new window, please navigate to "Worktable" and apply the following settings:
* X Axis [Range] 900.0
* Y Axis [Range] 600.0

When clicking "Save", it will most likely ask you for a password. Just hit "OK".

==Basic Usage==

===Zoom to all objects===
[[File:LaserCut53 ZoomToAllObjects.jpg|500px]]

Sometimes you need to ensure that all your objects are visible on the screen. To do so, please use "Zoom to all objects"

[[File:LaserCut53 ZoomToAllObjects Result.jpg|500px]]

Note: You can use this tool in order to ensure all your objects are on the worktable. Objects outside the worktable will result in a soft stop of the laser.

===Zoom to table===
[[File:LaserCut53 ZoomToTable.jpg|500px]]

This tool is particulary helpful in case you zoomed in or out of your worktable and want to see the entire worktable centralized on your screen:

[[File:LaserCut53 ZoomToTable Result.jpg|500px]]

==Preparing a Job==
===Import your file===
The first thing you need to do is to import your drawing. You can do so by navigating to File-->Import or by pressing Crtl+I. The following [[File Formats|file formats]] are supported:
* [[Format:PLT|PLT]]
* [[Format:DXF|DXF]]
** [[Fusion 360]]: '''export''' the file. Do not just "save as".
** [[Inkscape]]: reportedly, the checkboxes "Use ROBO-Master type of spline output" and "Use LWPOLYLINE type of line output" need to be '''off''' when saving as DXF for LaserCut 5.3 [http://wiki.makeitlabs.com/training/laser/design-software]
* [[Format:AI|AI]] (Adobe Illustrator)
* [[JPG]]
* [[GIF]]
* PNG
* BMP
* TIF
* DST
* NC
* TGA
* PCX

===Preparing the Cut Paths===
Once your file is imported, you will see the preview on the screen. The following tools might be handy when preparing your cut paths:

====Unite Lines====
[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines Before.jpg|500px|thumb|left|before uniting the lines]]
[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines After.jpg|500px|thumb|left|after uniting the lines]]

In case you just start your job without any further tuning, you might recognize that the laser follows an odd order of steps to cut your paths.

In order to streamline this, please select the paths of your model and navigate to Tools-->Unite Lines.

[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines Options.jpg|500px]]

Note: The default value of 0.100 as the unite tolerance is usually a pretty good value to recognize lines belonging together.
 
====Output Order====
[[File:Lasercut_5.3_order.png|thumb|right|200px|"layers" can be prioritized by moving them up in this list]]
You often want to engrave before cutting as the cut parts can fall out of focus when they are separated from the rest of the material.

'''easy way:''' select a "layer" in the list on the right and move it around with the "Up" or "Down" buttons (top is done first, bottom last)

You can also control the order of the cuts by navigating to Tools-->Output Order: In the new window, you will get a list of output layers, which you can put into the desired order by selecting them on the left and moving them to the right side of the window. 
If you are not sure which number corresponds to which cutting path, please not that you can select lines while having the output order window open.

==== Setting the entry point ====
On each path you can select the entry point the laser will use by using the "Define cut route" tool. You can find this in the menu Laser-->Define cut route or in the menu bar:

[[File:LaserCut53 DefineCutRoute.jpg|500px]]

Hint: If you press space when using this tool, a new window will open allowing you to edit some expert settings:

[[File:LaserCut53 DefineCutRoute Lead InOut Options.jpg|500px]]

==== Copy ====

Especially when mass processing something, you might want to copy your drawing multiple times. LaserCut offers a few different options to do so:
# Mark the paths, use CRTL-C and CTRL-V, then move the new paths
# Mark the paths, navigate to Draw-->Copies This will create actual copies of your object in an array which you can define. After the copies have been created, they are independent of each other and can be modified and moved seperately.
# Mark the paths, navigate to Laser-->Array output options This will allow you to laser your paths multiple times. Please note that the copies are not independent of each other and can only be moved together. Also, the same settings apply for all of them.

===Selecting the laser mode===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Mode !! Explanation
|-
| Cut || Cuts your material by following the defined vectors. You can also use this for vector engraving by lowering the power.
|-
| Engrave || Engraves the shapes of your drawing into your material (similar to a printer). Use this to engrave pictures. On vector drawings, this will engrave
|-
| Grade Engrave || Grade engraving will tell the laser to bevel the corners of your engraving. This should increase readability of letters for example.
|-
| Hole || This setting is similar to cutting. It will follow the defined lines, but will only make little dots (holes) into your material.
|-
| Pen Cut || This setting seems to crash LaserCut 5.3 and is not documented in the manual.
|}

===Setting Power and Speed===
You can set the power and speed for each layer seperately in the Control Panel:

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions.jpg|500px]]

Here you can select the desired mode by using the correspondent drop done menu.

Double-clicking on a layer will open the speed settings for the specific layer.
Please note that the options for cutting and engraving differ from each other:

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions CutOptions.jpg|500px|Options for cutting]]

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions EngraveOptions.jpg|500px|Options for engraving]]

Please put special focus on the "Corner Power". Usually you want to put this to the same power as your regular power.

===Simulating your job===
[[File:Simulate_Button_2.png]] or [[File:Simulate_Button.png]]

===Estimating Work Time===
[[File:Estimate_Work_Time_Button.png]]

==Controlling the Laser==
<pre style="color: red"> ADD IMAGE: Control Panel</pre>
===Homing===
In Order to Home the Laser, please press "Datum". (Fun Fact: "Datum" is not a strange translation, but actually the correct term (see [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/datum#Noun Wiktionary]):

[[File:LaserCut Control Panel Datum.jpg|x500px|"Datum" will home the laser]]

Homing the Laser will cause it to move into the upper right corner. Please always home the laser before you use it.

NOTE: You can also Home the Laser by pressing "Datum" on the control panel of the Laser itself.

===Moving the Laser===
You will need to move the Laser to it´s correct starting position, which you decided on when you prepared your job.

In order to do so, please use the X+/- and Y+/- Buttens in the Control Panel.

Please Note that you cannot control the Z-Height from within LaserCut. You will need to set the proper height on the machine itself!

===Uploading your Job===
Once you are done with all preperation steps, you need to put your job on the machine. In order to do so, please press the "DownLoad" Button in the control panel. This will open a window called "Stand-alone file manager":

[[File:Stand-alone_file_manager.png]]

In here, you can select your desired job and press "Download file". You can also just hit "Download current" to put the latest job onto the machine.

If - for whatever reason - you want to store this exact setup and machine data, you can export the data by pressing "export file". This will allow you to save it as a .mol file.

===Starting and Stopping the Job===
You can start the job in Lasercut or on the machine.

In order to start it from Lasercut, please use the "Start" Button on the control panel. You can also pause and stop the job by using the correspondent buttons.

Please Note that it is recommended to always control the job from the laser itself!

[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines Before.jpg|500px|thumb|left|before uniting the lines]]
[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines After.jpg|500px|thumb|left|after uniting the lines]]

In case you just start your job without any further tuning, you might recognize that the laser follows an odd order of steps to cut your paths.

In order to streamline this, please select the paths of your model and navigate to Tools-->Unite Lines.

[[File:LaserCut53 UniteLines Options.jpg|500px]]

Note: The default value of 0.100 as the unite tolerance is usually a pretty good value to recognize lines belonging together.
 
====Output Order====
[[File:Lasercut_5.3_order.png|thumb|right|200px|"layers" can be prioritized by moving them up in this list]]
You often want to engrave before cutting as the cut parts can fall out of focus when they are separated from the rest of the material.

'''easy way:''' select a "layer" in the list on the right and move it around with the "Up" or "Down" buttons (top is done first, bottom last)

You can also control the order of the cuts by navigating to Tools-->Output Order: In the new window, you will get a list of output layers, which you can put into the desired order by selecting them on the left and moving them to the right side of the window. 
If you are not sure which number corresponds to which cutting path, please not that you can select lines while having the output order window open.

==== Setting the entry point ====
On each path you can select the entry point the laser will use by using the "Define cut route" tool. You can find this in the menu Laser-->Define cut route or in the menu bar:

[[File:LaserCut53 DefineCutRoute.jpg|500px]]

Hint: If you press space when using this tool, a new window will open allowing you to edit some expert settings:

[[File:LaserCut53 DefineCutRoute Lead InOut Options.jpg|500px]]

==== Copy ====

Especially when mass processing something, you might want to copy your drawing multiple times. LaserCut offers a few different options to do so:
# Mark the paths, use CRTL-C and CTRL-V, then move the new paths
# Mark the paths, navigate to Draw-->Copies This will create actual copies of your object in an array which you can define. After the copies have been created, they are independent of each other and can be modified and moved seperately.
# Mark the paths, navigate to Laser-->Array output options This will allow you to laser your paths multiple times. Please note that the copies are not independent of each other and can only be moved together. Also, the same settings apply for all of them.

===Selecting the laser mode===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Mode !! Explanation
|-
| Cut || Cuts your material by following the defined vectors. You can also use this for vector engraving by lowering the power.
|-
| Engrave || Engraves the shapes of your drawing into your material (similar to a printer). Use this to engrave pictures. On vector drawings, this will engrave
|-
| Grade Engrave || Grade engraving will tell the laser to bevel the corners of your engraving. This should increase readability of letters for example.
|-
| Hole || This setting is similar to cutting. It will follow the defined lines, but will only make little dots (holes) into your material.
|-
| Pen Cut || This setting seems to crash LaserCut 5.3 and is not documented in the manual.
|}

===Setting Power and Speed===
You can set the power and speed for each layer seperately in the Control Panel:

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions.jpg|500px]]

Here you can select the desired mode by using the correspondent drop done menu.

Double-clicking on a layer will open the speed settings for the specific layer.
Please note that the options for cutting and engraving differ from each other:

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions CutOptions.jpg|500px|Options for cutting]]

[[File:LaserCut5.3 PowerOptions EngraveOptions.jpg|500px|Options for engraving]]

Please put special focus on the "Corner Power". Usually you want to put this to the same power as your regular power.

===Simulating your job===
[[File:Simulate_Button_2.png]] or [[File:Simulate_Button.png]]

===Estimating Work Time===
[[File:Estimate_Work_Time_Button.png]]

==Controlling the Laser==
<pre style="color: red"> ADD IMAGE: Control Panel</pre>
===Homing===
In Order to Home the Laser, please press "Datum". (Fun Fact: "Datum" is not a strange translation, but actually the correct term (see [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/datum#Noun Wiktionary]):

[[File:LaserCut Control Panel Datum.jpg|x500px|"Datum" will home the laser]]

Homing the Laser will cause it to move into the upper right corner. Please always home the laser before you use it.

NOTE: You can also Home the Laser by pressing "Datum" on the control panel of the Laser itself.

===Moving the Laser===
You will need to move the Laser to it´s correct starting position, which you decided on when you prepared your job.

In order to do so, please use the X+/- and Y+/- Buttens in the Control Panel.

Please Note that you cannot control the Z-Height from within LaserCut. You will need to set the proper height on the machine itself!

===Uploading your Job===
Once you are done with all preperation steps, you need to put your job on the machine. In order to do so, please press the "DownLoad" Button in the control panel. This will open a window called "Stand-alone file manager":
<pre style="color: red"> ADD IMAGE: Stand alone file manager </pre>
In here, you can select your desired job and press "Download file". You can also just hit "Download current" to put the latest job onto the machine.

If - for whatever reason - you want to store this exact setup and machine data, you can export the data by pressing "export file". This will allow you to save it as a .mol file.

===Starting and Stopping the Job===
You can start the job in Lasercut or on the machine.

In order to start it from Lasercut, please use the "Start" Button on the control panel. You can also pause and stop the job by using the correspondent buttons.

Please Note that it is recommended to always control the job from the laser itself!

Unfortunately you can't just calculate the perfect settings based on the '''power''' ("Watts") of a [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] because the actually delivered energy is always based on a combination of power and '''''speed''''', which is different for each brand or model of laser cutter. To make things more complicated, 100 % power in a cutting profile is not the same as 100 % power in an engraving profile... 

As there is always some trial and error involved, please share your experience with the others! You can often use experience from other machines as a ''rough'' starting point.

In general, cutting is usually done at 100 % power and the highest speed that will still result in a reliable cut. If 100 % speed still gets you through (e.g. paper or cardboard), you should reduce the power until you find the sweet spot. Besides the power setting, you can influence the invested energy by altering the pulse '''frequency''' - you may want to go lower on flammable materials like wood, where edges might otherwise become black, and higher on plastics like [[Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]] where you are aiming for a "flame-polished" edge. [https://www.epiloglaser.com/assets/downloads/manuals/zing-manual-web.pdf page 46]

The width of the kerf ''(Schnittfuge)'' also depends on the laser settings and the material you're using and could be important for certain designs. [[User:Sebastian|Sebastian]] recommends to use the "DXF for Laser" [[Fusion 360]] export plugin [https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=7634902334100976871] and testing different settings for each material so you get tight fitting joints.

Laser Cutter Introduction

2022-07-01T19:34:17Z

BenKenobi: /* Workflow */

This is the content required for an introduction to our [[Introduction for::Laser_Cutter|laser cutter]]- '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

If you need this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors: [[Tutor::User:NitramLegov|Martin]], [[Tutor::User:Pakue|Patrick]], [[Tutor::User:Johannes|Johannes]], [[Tutor::User:Keno|Keno]], [[Tutor::User:Sebastian|Sebastian]], [[Tutor::User:Kalunho|Kalun]]

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual (available on the Laser PC).

== Safety ==
[[PPE|Personal protection]]: no special PPE needed since the enclosure protects you.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Dangers !! Precautions
|-
| Fumes generated by burning/evaporating your work-piece might be dangerous ||
* Always ensure the exhaust filtering system is turned on before firing the laser.
* Make sure your work-piece can safely be used with a laser cutter (please reference the list of [[Laser_Cutter#Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving)|possible materials]]
* Make sure you have read the [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|list of forbidden materials]] (ANYTHING containing halogens like chlorine or fluorine!) may not be placed into the laser cutter at all
* If you notice a strong smell: Turn off the laser and check the filtering system: something may be broken or the filter is full!
|-
| Invisible but powerful IR radiation || luckily contained by the enclosure (laser class 1)
* safety contacts prevent the laser tube from firing if the lid or any relevant side panels are open
|-
| Fire can [http://www.laserworks.jp/images/f03.jpg destroy the machine!] ||
* do not leave the room when operating the machine
* double-check the CO2 fire extinguisher is within reach
* opening the lid can already be effective in putting out small fires
|-
|}

==Basics of Laser Cutting==
The Tutor will show you:
* content of the '''entire''' [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] wiki page
** especially [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|'''forbidden materials!''']]

==Operating the Machine==
The tutor will first show you the basic operations at the laser:
* How to '''prepare the laser cutter'''
** to prevent fires, clean the tray under the table when it gets cluttered with little pieces
**turn on the water cooling system and let it get to temperature (~20°C)
* How to turn on the laser
* How to move the x and y motors by using the control panel
* How to ensure the focus of the laser is set correctly by moving the table up and down
* How to use the emergency stop
* How to check the safety switches: laser turns off when glass is lifted - important when fire breaks out!
** also useful if you only have one try and want a "dry run" using only the pointer (''that'' laser stays on)

''This should act as a guide, tutors can always emphasize or add points of importance.''

== Workflow ==
The tutor will show you:
* how to create or edit your [[SVG]] file (using [[Inkscape]] or similar programs)
* how to generate a [[Format:DXF|DXF]] file (use DXF R14 if your program supports this) to import into [[LaserCut 5.3]]
* introduction to [[LaserCut 5.3]] running on our Laser-PC
** settings, raster vs. vector, our [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|collection of material related settings]]
** importing settings

* '''software'''
** install [[Inkscape]] or similar software to produce vector files
** install [[LaserCut 5.3]] (Demo version, Windows only)
** download/import settings
** import [[DXF]] file into [[LaserCut 5.3]], set cutting/engraving settings per path
** simulate true path (Laser(L)/Simulate) Estimate work time [[File:Estimate Work Time Button.png]]
** transfer job via [[LaserCut 5.3]]

* '''execution'''
** activate [[Water Chiller|water chiller]]
** activate [[Laser Exhaust System|exhaust system]]
** Prepare the machine ([[Laser Cutter#Machine Control|Machine Control]])
** Press <code>Test</code> on the machine to assure that the file fits the measurements of your workpiece
** [[Laser_Cutter#Starting_the_Job|start the job]] either via the Laser PC or on the cutter's display
** [[Laser_Cutter#Setting_the_Focus|set the focus]]
** When in focus the red laser '''should''' be on the right spot (If nobody touched it).
*** You can press <code>Laser</code> to check the divergence of the laser and your cutting point to be extra sure if you have a test piece
** observe cutting, watch for irregular fumes or flames - especially if testing new materials
** cutting might not work for the first one or two cm after a "cold start" - in that case, restart the job briefly at the end
** do not leave the laser cutter unattended (fire hazard)!
*** cutting: stay at the machine the entire time!
*** engraving: stay at least within sight and earshot!

* '''after cutting'''
** switch off exhaust system & water chiller
** remove parts from table
** clean tray under the table
** [[Shop Vac|vacuum]] the table if necessary
** [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|share your experiences]] with the others :-)
** donate for the machine time!
*** currently 20 ct per minute
** turn off the PC

'''The laser cutter must only be operated by members who have received a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|detailed introduction]]!'''
On the introduction page, you can find a '''[[Laser_Cutter_Introduction#Workflow|detailed workflow]]''' from creating a [[Format:DFX|DFX]] file to the final product.

==General Information==
* power: 80 Watt
* worktable size: 60x90 cm (length x width), engraving a bit smaller
** Z axis (height): 23 cm

== Safety Concerns ==
A laser cutter is a delicate and dangerous piece of equipment and should only run under direct supervision of a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|qualified]] user. The machine needs to be supervised even more than the [[3D Printer Farm|3D printers]], with the '''operator standing by during the entire duration of a cutting job and being in close vicinity during engraving jobs'''.

Although the laser beam itself should be certified laser class 1 due to the massive housing and other safety features, the fumes generated when cutting various materials can be harmful to human health (see [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|forbidden materials]]). A good exhaust filtering system can take care of fumes from the allowed materials but only an outside vent will really remove the smoky smell.

=== Location Requirements ===
* no dust
* 5 °C ≤ room temperature ≤ 25 °C
* max. 70 % humidity
* CO2 fire extinguisher in the area

==> in the [[eRoom]]

== Rules ==
* supervise the entire job when cutting
** a fire can only be stopped quick enough if you open the lid '''immediately'''!
* stay in close vicinity for the entire job when engraving
* abort if you see, hear or smell anything out of the ordinary!

=== Forbidden Materials ===
* materials that contain chlorine (Cl) - it's unhealthy and also destroys the machine
** e.g. [[PVC]] ("vinyl", found in most soft plastics and records)
** artificial leather
** neoprene
* materials that contain fluorine (F) - it can kill you and also destroys the machine
** e.g. [[Material:PTFE|PTFE]] ("Teflon") - very very unhealthy!
* epoxy resins and materials bonded with epoxy resins

→ with some materials it is not clear whether it contains Cl or F. '''If you are not sure, don't cut or engrave it'''. If you notice '''any unusal coloration''' of the smoke or flame, stop the job immediately!

=== Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving) ===
Check the [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|material settings database]] to see if and how something has been cut before and please add your experience as well.

In addition, you can check the official list from [[https://www.epiloglaser.com/laser-machines/zing-laser-series.htm#materials Epilog]].
* [[wood]]
** [[plywood]]
** particle board/chip board
** [[MDF]] and [[HDF]] are also allowed but will make frequent [[Laser Cutter#Cleaning of the Optics|lens cleaning]] necessary due to their high glue content
* [[Material:Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]]/''Plexiglass'' (→ not the cheap [[Material:Polystyrene|polystyrene]]/''Bastlerglas'' from hardware stores, it welds itself shut after being cut)
** cast acrylic (GS/''gegossen'') - "chemically better"
*** very suitable for engraving because the colour changes into a milky version of the original
** extruded acrylic (XT/''extrudiert'') - better thickness accuracy
*** very suitable for cutting
*** very suitable for parts that should fit together tightly
*** not as suitable for engraving because there is no colour difference
**** 3D engravable, though - the grooves can be [[Material:Fill-In Paint|filled with paint for a nice effect]]
* [[leather]], but '''no artificial leathers''' if they contain chlorine!
* [[paper]]
* [[Colored Card|colored card]]
** discoloration when "engraving", looks nice
* [[cardboard]]
* [[Material:Rubber|rubber]] (special kind for stamps)
* [[foam]]
* [[fabric]]
* '''some''' polyurethanes depending on additives (see this [https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/603216/603216.pdf study] for some reference [p. 101])

When cutting wood or acrylic glass, a small flame may be observed at the focal point but is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if it burns too much or is still on when the laser beam is already somewhere else, immediately open the cover. Because the laser automatically shuts down, the fire should go out.

=== Possible Materials (Engraving Only) ===
* [[Material:Glass|glass]]
** including mirrors (front or back!)
* [[Material:Metal|metals]]
** only [[Material:Aluminium#Anodized Aluminium|anodized aluminium]] and high quality [[Material:Stainless Steel|stainless steel]] can be engraved directly
** for most metals you should use a [[Material:Laser Marking Spray|special marking spray]]
*** only works on blank metal, any coatings will not allow the molecular bond triggered by the laser's heat

=== Cost ===
The tube and filters need to be replaced from time to time which will add up to several hundred €.

Therefore, an appropriate user contribution is '''20 ct per minute''' which you should please throw into the obvious cash box immediately or in advance.

== Machine Control ==
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine:

[[File:LS6090 Control 1.JPG|thumb|left]]
===Homing===
When you turn on the machine, please press the "Datum" button in order to Home the machine. This is needed so that the machine knows where the laser is located after a restart. The laser will move to the upper right corner of the machine.

===Moving the Laser===
In order to move the laser to the starting point of your job, please ensure that you are in the main menu and no option is being highlighted. This can be achieved by pressing "ESC" until you see the following:
[[File:LS6090 Control Movement Possible.JPG|thumb|Movements are possible if nothing is highlighted]]

Now you can move the laser by pressing the directional buttons.

'''Jog Speed'''

In case the laser is moving too much or too little with each button press, please go to the jog set menu by using the following key combination: ''Menu --> Down --> Down --> Enter''

In this menu, you can set the jog distance. Please confirm the new distance by pressing Enter.

===Starting the Job===
After uploading your job to the machine (see [[LaserCut_5.3#Uploading_your_Job]] for details), you can start the job by pressing "Start / Pause". The same button will also pause your job in between if needed.

===Setting the Focus===

In order to set the focus of the laser, please put your workpiece on the tray and put the focus finder (little black 3D printed thingy) on top of it. Now, move the laser above the focus finder and move the tray up (by pressing "up") until you can barely slide the focus finder through the gap. The focus is now set to the surface of your workpiece.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Laser keeps starting at the same (wrong) position ===
Sometimes, the starting point of the laser cutter gets set to a fixed position by accident.

While we are not yet entirely sure '''how''' this happens, here's how to fix it:

# Make sure the laser cutter is in the following condition (press <code>Esc</code> until the File name gets a grey background):[[File:Laser homing fix.png|none|thumb]]
# Press <code>'''⏎'''</code> so that a new menu opens
# Select "Cancel" and confirm with <code>'''⏎'''</code>

The tube and filters need to be replaced from time to time which will add up to several hundred €.

Therefore, an appropriate user contribution is '''20 ct per minute''' which you should please throw into the obvious cash box immediately or in advance.

== Machine Control ==
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine:

[[File:LS6090 Control 1.JPG|thumb|left]]
===Homing===
When you turn on the machine, please press the "Datum" button in order to Home the machine. This is needed so that the machine knows where the laser is located after a restart. The laser will move to the upper right corner of the machine.

===Moving the Laser===
In order to move the laser to the starting point of your job, please ensure that you are in the main menu and no option is being highlighted. This can be achieved by pressing "ESC" until you see the following:
[[File:LS6090 Control Movement Possible.JPG|thumb|Movements are possible if nothing is highlighted]]

Now you can move the laser by pressing the directional buttons.

'''Jog Speed'''

In case the laser is moving too much or too little with each button press, please go to the jog set menu by using the following key combination: ''Menu --> Down --> Down --> Enter''

In this menu, you can set the jog distance. Please confirm the new distance by pressing Enter.

===Starting the Job===
After uploading your job to the machine (see [[LaserCut_5.3#Uploading_your_Job]] for details), you can start the job by pressing "Start / Pause". The same button will also pause your job in between if needed.

===Setting the Focus===

In order to set the focus of the laser, please put your workpiece on the tray and put the focus finder (little black 3D printed thingy) on top of it. Now, move the laser above the focus finder and move the tray up (by pressing "up") until the red light of the focus finder turns on. Now, move the tray down until the red light turns off. The focus is now set to the surface of your workpiece.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Laser keeps starting at the same (wrong) position ===
Sometimes, the starting point of the laser cutter gets set to a fixed position by accident.

While we are not yet entirely sure '''how''' this happens, here's how to fix it:

# Make sure the laser cutter is in the following condition (press <code>Esc</code> until the File name gets a grey background):[[File:Laser homing fix.png|none|thumb]]

'''The laser cutter must only be operated by members who have received a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|detailed introduction]]!'''
On the introduction page, you can find a '''[[Laser_Cutter_Introduction#Workflow|detailed workflow]]''' from creating a dxf file to the final product.

==General Information==
* power: 80 Watt
* worktable size: 60x90 cm (length x width), engraving a bit smaller
** Z axis (height): 23 cm

== Safety Concerns ==
A laser cutter is a delicate and dangerous piece of equipment and should only run under direct supervision of a [[Laser Cutter Introduction|qualified]] user. The machine needs to be supervised even more than the [[3D Printer Farm|3D printers]], with the '''operator standing by during the entire duration of a cutting job and being in close vicinity during engraving jobs'''.

Although the laser beam itself should be certified laser class 1 due to the massive housing and other safety features, the fumes generated when cutting various materials can be harmful to human health (see [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|forbidden materials]]). A good exhaust filtering system can take care of fumes from the allowed materials but only an outside vent will really remove the smoky smell.

=== Location Requirements ===
* no dust
* 5 °C ≤ room temperature ≤ 25 °C
* max. 70 % humidity
* CO2 fire extinguisher in the area

==> in the [[eRoom]]

== Rules ==
* supervise the entire job when cutting
** a fire can only be stopped quick enough if you open the lid '''immediately'''!
* stay in close vicinity for the entire job when engraving
* abort if you see, hear or smell anything out of the ordinary!

=== Forbidden Materials ===
* materials that contain chlorine (Cl) - it's unhealthy and also destroys the machine
** e.g. [[PVC]] ("vinyl", found in most soft plastics and records)
** artificial leather
** neoprene
* materials that contain fluorine (F) - it can kill you and also destroys the machine
** e.g. [[Material:PTFE|PTFE]] ("Teflon") - very very unhealthy!
* epoxy resins and materials bonded with epoxy resins

→ with some materials it is not clear whether it contains Cl or F. '''If you are not sure, don't cut or engrave it'''. If you notice '''any unusal coloration''' of the smoke or flame, stop the job immediately!

=== Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving) ===
Check the [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|material settings database]] to see if and how something has been cut before and please add your experience as well.

In addition, you can check the official list from [[https://www.epiloglaser.com/laser-machines/zing-laser-series.htm#materials Epilog]].
* [[wood]]
** [[plywood]]
** particle board/chip board
** [[MDF]] and [[HDF]] are also allowed but will make frequent [[Laser Cutter#Cleaning of the Optics|lens cleaning]] necessary due to their high glue content
* [[Material:Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]]/''Plexiglass'' (→ not the cheap [[Material:Polystyrene|polystyrene]]/''Bastlerglas'' from hardware stores, it welds itself shut after being cut)
** cast acrylic (GS/''gegossen'') - "chemically better"
*** very suitable for engraving because the colour changes into a milky version of the original
** extruded acrylic (XT/''extrudiert'') - better thickness accuracy
*** very suitable for cutting
*** very suitable for parts that should fit together tightly
*** not as suitable for engraving because there is no colour difference
**** 3D engravable, though - the grooves can be [[Material:Fill-In Paint|filled with paint for a nice effect]]
* [[leather]], but '''no artificial leathers''' if they contain chlorine!
* [[paper]]
* [[Colored Card|colored card]]
** discoloration when "engraving", looks nice
* [[cardboard]]
* [[Material:Rubber|rubber]] (special kind for stamps)
* [[foam]]
* [[fabric]]
* '''some''' polyurethanes depending on additives (see this [https://mediatum.ub.tum.de/doc/603216/603216.pdf study] for some reference [p. 101])

When cutting wood or acrylic glass, a small flame may be observed at the focal point but is not necessarily a bad thing. However, if it burns too much or is still on when the laser beam is already somewhere else, immediately open the cover. Because the laser automatically shuts down, the fire should go out.

=== Possible Materials (Engraving Only) ===
* [[Material:Glass|glass]]
** including mirrors (front or back!)
* [[Material:Metal|metals]]
** only [[Material:Aluminium#Anodized Aluminium|anodized aluminium]] and high quality [[Material:Stainless Steel|stainless steel]] can be engraved directly
** for most metals you should use a [[Material:Laser Marking Spray|special marking spray]]

Laser Cutter Introduction

2022-07-01T19:23:29Z

BenKenobi: /* Workflow */

This is the content required for an introduction to our [[Introduction for::Laser_Cutter|laser cutter]]- '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

If you need this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors: [[Tutor::User:NitramLegov|Martin]], [[Tutor::User:Pakue|Patrick]], [[Tutor::User:Johannes|Johannes]], [[Tutor::User:Keno|Keno]], [[Tutor::User:Sebastian|Sebastian]], [[Tutor::User:Kalunho|Kalun]]

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual (available on the Laser PC).

== Safety ==
[[PPE|Personal protection]]: no special PPE needed since the enclosure protects you.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Dangers !! Precautions
|-
| Fumes generated by burning/evaporating your work-piece might be dangerous ||
* Always ensure the exhaust filtering system is turned on before firing the laser.
* Make sure your work-piece can safely be used with a laser cutter (please reference the list of [[Laser_Cutter#Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving)|possible materials]]
* Make sure you have read the [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|list of forbidden materials]] (ANYTHING containing halogens like chlorine or fluorine!) may not be placed into the laser cutter at all
* If you notice a strong smell: Turn off the laser and check the filtering system: something may be broken or the filter is full!
|-
| Invisible but powerful IR radiation || luckily contained by the enclosure (laser class 1)
* safety contacts prevent the laser tube from firing if the lid or any relevant side panels are open
|-
| Fire can [http://www.laserworks.jp/images/f03.jpg destroy the machine!] ||
* do not leave the room when operating the machine
* double-check the CO2 fire extinguisher is within reach
* opening the lid can already be effective in putting out small fires
|-
|}

==Basics of Laser Cutting==
The Tutor will show you:
* content of the '''entire''' [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] wiki page
** especially [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|'''forbidden materials!''']]

==Operating the Machine==
The tutor will first show you the basic operations at the laser:
* How to '''prepare the laser cutter'''
** to prevent fires, clean the tray under the table when it gets cluttered with little pieces
**turn on the water cooling system and let it get to temperature (~20°C)
* How to turn on the laser
* How to move the x and y motors by using the control panel
* How to ensure the focus of the laser is set correctly by moving the table up and down
* How to use the emergency stop
* How to check the safety switches: laser turns off when glass is lifted - important when fire breaks out!
** also useful if you only have one try and want a "dry run" using only the pointer (''that'' laser stays on)

''This should act as a guide, tutors can always emphasize or add points of importance.''

== Workflow ==
The tutor will show you:
* how to create or edit your [[SVG]] file (using [[Inkscape]] or similar programs)
* how to generate a [[Format:DXF|DXF]] file (use DXF R14 if your program supports this) to import into [[LaserCut 5.3]]
* introduction to [[LaserCut 5.3]] running on our Laser-PC
** settings, raster vs. vector, our [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|collection of material related settings]]
** importing settings

* '''software'''
** install [[Inkscape]] or similar software to produce vector files
** install [[LaserCut 5.3]] (Demo version, Windows only)
** download/import settings
** import [[DXF]] file into [[LaserCut 5.3]], set cutting/engraving settings per path
** simulate true path (Laser(L)/Simulate) Estimate work time [[File:Estimate Work Time Button.png]]
** transfer job via [[LaserCut 5.3]]

* '''execution'''
** activate [[Water Chiller|water chiller]]
** activate [[Laser Exhaust System|exhaust system]]
** Prepare the machine ([[Laser Cutter#Machine Control|Machine Control]])
** Press <code>Test</code> on the machine to assure that the file fits the measurements of your workpiece
** [[Laser_Cutter#Starting_the_Job|start the job]] either via the Laser PC or on the cutter's display
** [[Laser_Cutter#Setting_the_Focus|set the focus]]
** Press <code>Laser</code> to check the divergence of the laser and your cutting point
** observe cutting, watch for irregular fumes or flames - especially if testing new materials
** cutting might not work for the first one or two cm after a "cold start" - in that case, restart the job briefly at the end
** do not leave the laser cutter unattended!
*** cutting: stay at the machine the entire time!
*** engraving: stay at least within sight and earshot!

* '''after cutting'''
** switch off exhaust system & water chiller
** remove parts from table
** clean tray under the table
** [[Shop Vac|vacuum]] the table if necessary
** [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|share your experiences]] with the others :-)
** donate for the machine time!
*** currently 20 ct per minute
** turn off the PC

=== Cost ===
The tube and filters need to be replaced from time to time which will add up to several hundred €.

Therefore, an appropriate user contribution is '''20 ct per minute''' which you should please throw into the obvious cash box immediately or in advance.

== Machine Control ==
The machine itself is mainly operated by the control panel located on the right side of the machine:

[[File:LS6090 Control 1.JPG|thumb|left]]
===Homing===
When you turn on the machine, please press the "Datum" button in order to Home the machine. This is needed so that the machine knows where the laser is located after a restart. The laser will move to the upper right corner of the machine.

===Moving the Laser===
In order to move the laser to the starting point of your job, please ensure that you are in the main menu and no option is being highlighted. This can be achieved by pressing "ESC" until you see the following:
[[File:LS6090 Control Movement Possible.JPG|thumb|Movements are possible if nothing is highlighted]]

Now you can move the laser by pressing the directional buttons.

'''Jog Speed'''

In case the laser is moving too much or too little with each button press, please go to the jog set menu by using the following key combination: ''Menu --> Down --> Down --> Enter''

In this menu, you can set the jog distance. Please confirm the new distance by pressing Enter.

===Starting the Job===
After uploading your job to the machine (see [[LaserCut_5.3#Uploading_your_Job]] for details), you can start the job by pressing "Start / Pause". The same button will also pause your job in between if needed.

===Setting the Focus===

In order to set the focus of the laser, please put your workpiece on the tray and put the focus finder (little black 3D printed thingy) on top of it. Now, move the laser above the focus finder and move the tray up (by pressing "up") until the red light of the focus finder turns on. Now, move the tray down until the red light turns off. The focus is now set to the surface of your workpiece.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== Laser keeps starting at the same (wrong) position ===
Sometimes, the starting point of the laser cutter gets set to a fixed position by accident.

While we are not yet entirely sure '''how''' this happens, here's how to fix it:

# Make sure the laser cutter is in the following condition (press <code>Esc</code> until the File name gets a grey background):[[File:Laser homing fix.png|none|thumb]]
# Press <code>'''⏎'''</code> so that a new menu opens
# Select "Cancel" and confirm with <code>'''⏎'''</code>

Laser Cutter Introduction

2022-07-01T19:20:59Z

BenKenobi: /* Workflow */

This is the content required for an introduction to our [[Introduction for::Laser_Cutter|laser cutter]]- '''reading this does NOT replace the mandatory session with a [[tutor]]!''' It will make it a lot quicker though ;-)

If you need this introduction, please reach out to the following tutors: [[Tutor::User:NitramLegov|Martin]], [[Tutor::User:Pakue|Patrick]], [[Tutor::User:Johannes|Johannes]], [[Tutor::User:Keno|Keno]], [[Tutor::User:Sebastian|Sebastian]], [[Tutor::User:Kalunho|Kalun]]

Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual (available on the Laser PC).

== Safety ==
[[PPE|Personal protection]]: no special PPE needed since the enclosure protects you.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Dangers !! Precautions
|-
| Fumes generated by burning/evaporating your work-piece might be dangerous ||
* Always ensure the exhaust filtering system is turned on before firing the laser.
* Make sure your work-piece can safely be used with a laser cutter (please reference the list of [[Laser_Cutter#Possible Materials (Cutting/Engraving)|possible materials]]
* Make sure you have read the [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|list of forbidden materials]] (ANYTHING containing halogens like chlorine or fluorine!) may not be placed into the laser cutter at all
* If you notice a strong smell: Turn off the laser and check the filtering system: something may be broken or the filter is full!
|-
| Invisible but powerful IR radiation || luckily contained by the enclosure (laser class 1)
* safety contacts prevent the laser tube from firing if the lid or any relevant side panels are open
|-
| Fire can [http://www.laserworks.jp/images/f03.jpg destroy the machine!] ||
* do not leave the room when operating the machine
* double-check the CO2 fire extinguisher is within reach
* opening the lid can already be effective in putting out small fires
|-
|}

==Basics of Laser Cutting==
The Tutor will show you:
* content of the '''entire''' [[Laser Cutter|laser cutter]] wiki page
** especially [[Laser Cutter#Forbidden Materials|'''forbidden materials!''']]

==Operating the Machine==
The tutor will first show you the basic operations at the laser:
* How to '''prepare the laser cutter'''
** to prevent fires, clean the tray under the table when it gets cluttered with little pieces
**turn on the water cooling system and let it get to temperature (~20°C)
* How to turn on the laser
* How to move the x and y motors by using the control panel
* How to ensure the focus of the laser is set correctly by moving the table up and down
* How to use the emergency stop
* How to check the safety switches: laser turns off when glass is lifted - important when fire breaks out!
** also useful if you only have one try and want a "dry run" using only the pointer (''that'' laser stays on)

''This should act as a guide, tutors can always emphasize or add points of importance.''

== Workflow ==
The tutor will show you:
* how to create or edit your [[SVG]] file (using [[Inkscape]] or similar programs)
* how to generate a [[Format:DXF|DXF]] file (use DXF R14 if your program supports this) to import into [[LaserCut 5.3]]
* introduction to [[LaserCut 5.3]] running on our Laser-PC
** settings, raster vs. vector, our [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|collection of material related settings]]
** importing settings

* '''software'''
** install [[Inkscape]] or similar software to produce vector files
** install [[LaserCut 5.3]] (Demo version, Windows only)
** download/import settings
** import [[DXF]] file into [[LaserCut 5.3]], set cutting/engraving settings per path
** simulate true path (Laser(L)/Simulate) Estimate work time [[File:Estimate Work Time Button.png]]
** transfer job via [[LaserCut 5.3]]

* '''execution'''
** activate [[Water Chiller|water chiller]]
** activate [[Laser Exhaust System|exhaust system]]
** Prepare the machine ([[Laser Cutter#Machine Control|Machine Control]])
** Press <code>Test</code> on the machine to assure that the file fits the measurements of your workpiece
** [[Laser_Cutter#Starting_the_Job|start the job]] either via the Laser PC or on the cutter's display
** [[Laser_Cutter#Setting_the_Focus|set the focus]]
** Press <code>Laser</code> check the divergence of the laser and your cutting point
** observe cutting, watch for irregular fumes or flames - especially if testing new materials
** cutting might not work for the first one or two cm after a "cold start" - in that case, restart the job briefly at the end
** do not leave the laser cutter unattended!
*** cutting: stay at the machine the entire time!
*** engraving: stay at least within sight and earshot!

* '''after cutting'''
** switch off exhaust system & water chiller
** remove parts from table
** clean tray under the table
** [[Shop Vac|vacuum]] the table if necessary
** [[Laser Cutter Material Settings|share your experiences]] with the others :-)
** donate for the machine time!
*** currently 20 ct per minute
** turn off the PC
