Note that the lasercutter has had a controller board change to addresss issues with the previous controller exhibiting random behaviour "the vertical cut of doom". The controller is based on a smoothieboard, and accepts gcode instructions from the controlling PC. No longer uses the Lasercut53 software, but instead uses the LightBurn software instead. Further differences from previous procedures will be documented soon. | Note that the lasercutter has had a controller board change to addresss issues with the previous controller exhibiting random behaviour "the vertical cut of doom".
