* I dropped my hackspace keyring (one of the old ones from when we first had the cutter), and it shattered, it looks like stress was concentrated at the corners and it split from there - lesson learned: if you want cut things to last, specially if they are under any stress then round the corners! | * I dropped my hackspace keyring (one of the old ones from when we first had the cutter), and it shattered, it looks like stress was concentrated at the corners and it split from there - lesson learned: if you want cut things to last, specially if they are under any stress then round the corners! | ||

* Cooler was damaged in the move. SamLR reports 'we were moving the laser through to unit 23 the cooling | |||
unit fell over. We'd balanced coolbot ontop of the water box so | |||
when it went over the whole thing got wet, beyond that I have no | |||
idea what's good to go and what isn't sorry' | |||
* To the best of my understanding, the cooler is not operating and the coolbot cannot immediately be reassembled. Note that the laser tube can be damaged by both high and low temperatures; the laser operation can quickly take the coolant above the maximum and the uncontrolled cooler can take it below the minimum. Coolbot is required to operate it safely, and even when operating correctly there is no automatic cutout so it can still be abused. | |||
