Current Status -------------- **** Work Log -------- | When | Work Done | Who By | |------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | 2014-05-21 | Added air assist nozzle, ran air assist tube to top right, soaked + cleaned bed, cleaned lens | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-05-26 | Added cable chain for air assist tube, added inline connector for lights, replaced cable to i2c display with proper shielded one. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-06-23 | Took out FFC and cut off / replaced the end of it at gantry end to get X axis moving again. Re-crimped endstop connector at LAOS end because crimping was rubbish. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-06-26 | FFC connector had failed - Replaced FFC entirely with ribbon cable and adaptor boards designed for CNC machine. Should be a lot more sturdy, but is currently ziptied to base of X axis motor until I think of a better plan. Might design specific board for it. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-07-17 | Trained Tas + Ruth in Laser Maintenance, Did full clean and re-align of laser | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-07-23 | X axis was stalling out due to insufficient current. Increased the amount available to both X and Y Axis motors | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-07-28 | Changed PWM Minimum to 20/255 instead of 40/255 to prevent charring on engrave. | [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2014-10-26 | Upgraded firmware to laoslaser-26-10-2014.bin - should fix engraving errors where the end of a line gets a little line on it. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-11-09 | X axis stepper driver was overheating. Turned down current slightly, ziptied fan pointing to it. Ordered DRV8825 based stepper drivers to replace. Full clean and realign. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") + [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2014-11-15 | Drilled the X axis offset spacers to 2.5mm, tapped to M3, to replace the m2.5 screws that sheared off. Levelled bed and dropped it a bit to correct focus. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") + [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2014-11-25 | Replaced X axis opto endstop with microswitch. Fuck opto endstops. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-11-29 | Reduced cutting speed & belt tension to stop stall out on fast moves. Realigned and Relevelled | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") + [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2014-12-12 | Swapped out stepper driver on X axis, changed config to double steps/m (32 microsteps instead of 16), adjusted stepper driver power. | [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2014-12-12 | Built new cable to test stepper directly from driver. Still had issue. Switched around drivers, still had issue. Tested motor separately with no belt, X axis motor is fucked. Replaced Motor, restored original stepper driver + config, halfed steps/m because new motor goes twice as far per step. Rebuilt and did basic realign. Still needs full realign. Wept. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2014-01-31 | Replaced tube, rebuilt and cleaned X-Y axes, added new mechanical endstop to Y axis to replace shitty opto flag. Replaced feet with rubber feet. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-02-21 | Tightened X axis belt to reduce wobble. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-02-21 | Unkinked coolant tube - laser is now at full power. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-03-04 | Replaced mirror that had EXPLODED! | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-03-11 | Replaced grub screw that had fallen out of carriage. | [Chris](User:badspyro "wikilink") | | 2015-03-14 | Changed microstepping on X and steps/mm value to be the same as Y - makes motion far smoother. Cleaned bed because it was setting on fire. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-03-22 | Remounted pump to hang from cable ties, reducing vibration passed on to frame & laser. | [Ruth](User:RoofieA "wikilink") | | 2015-03-29 | Cleaned lens on X end, showed Simon D how to do it as he's making a lot of rubber stamps. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | | 2015-07-28 | reattached the x axis drive belt and adjusted the location of the air assist. | [Tas](User:NbHacker "wikilink") | | 2015-07-30 | Installed new mirror and set alignment. | [Chris](User:Badspyro "wikilink") | | 2015-08-16 | Replaced the pump with a new one. It is far quieter. Yay. | [Bob](User:parag0n "wikilink") | [Category:Laser Cutter (Blue)](Category:Laser_Cutter_(Blue) "wikilink") [Category:Maintenance Records](Category:Maintenance_Records "wikilink") old/equipment/laser-cutter/worklog.txt Last modified: 2022/11/30 16:32by 127.0.0.1
