It just didn’t beep like it should on the laser cutter after the file was completely uploaded. One time it beeped after downloading the file and then the same file didn’t work another time. So it seems like a memory issue of some sort?
I tried the file I know works from the other night, we could try others of course. This was the result of the engraving from the other night, same file isn’t working now.
(Sorry it looks like my photo I tried to attach to this msg from my phone isn’t there)
No problem there, we tried multiple positions. One time it did work, which was an image that was brought into the software, then further reduced in size by using dithering of some sort, then the laser cutter beeped as usual but things didn’t quite add up- for instance we tried the same thing moments later and it wouldn’t “beep” so I’m not sure if it was the software or the laser cutter but my guess is it had to do with the memory but not sure how.
Ok so I think I figured out how to do it- I may be wrong but in case this solved it and someone in the future comes across a similar issue: after pressing the “download” button to upload to the laser cutter, I clicked “format” then “download to printer” and as far as I can tell this purged the memory and allowed the laser cutter to accept my image file for engraving.
