  1. #k40 laser cutter maintenance:
    1. Cleaned the air outlet from all the gunk
    2. Swapped the moldy silicone rubber tubing and cleaned the pump/reservoir from whatever life forms lived in there
    3. Cleaned the mirrors... not sure if I will use them again or go for the new ones, they are not exactly great.
    4. Fixed the power switch that was welded permanently closed (big switch mode power supply on switched outlet = too high inrush for the poor switch

    Next steps:
    1. fit AA battery instead of coin cells in thermometer
    2. Fit new air assist nozzle
    3. fit new exhaust ducting and additional exhaust fan
    4. Move webcam to inside of lid so #meerk40t can overlay the webcam image on the bed = better placement/material use
    5. misc small things
    6. Test run!

  2. Monport spam has shown up with a new tactic. In response to someone asking for help with an Omtech machine, they wrote some vague "well try something else" and praised Monport tech support, and suggested reaching out to Monport for support. For an Omtech machine. The text appeared to be designed to poison consumer sentiment AI summaries to favor Monport.

    I don't care whether this is currently considered fraud by a legal definition. It is clearly a morally corrupt attempt to manipulate buyers. Before you buy anything from #monport please consider whether you want to support this kind of behavior.

    It's still less work to manually approve every legit post on Maker Forums about Monport than confirm and clean up all the arriving spam about Monport.

    Just doing some testing on another machine… Still amazing that you can get these colors on stainless steel with a laser!

  5. Hacking the Ortur Laser with Spoil Board, Z-Height, and Air Assist - Last month in my hands-on review of the Ortur Laser I hinted that I had done a few things to make it... - hackaday.com/2021/03/23/hackin #hackadaycolumns #laserengraver #lasercutter #laserhacks #airassist #cnchacks #ortur
