Were you printing on vector or raster mode? Last time I used it there
was all kinds of crazy behavior until I switched over to vector mode,
cut like a charm. That's the one tool I keep meaning to swing by and
use but never leave enough time to get set up for.

@robb eeeh, not quite.
@jake 4 bad USB cables then 1 mediocre one? Dunno, theories:
1)
USB Connector is worn and the cable needs to have good springyness to make contact.
2)
The power supply in the cutter is dying and causing power sags,
the higher quality cable is more fault tolerant when this happens.
In the end, stalling still occurred with the best cable. Other problems observed, despite
various
focal lengths I had to cut <30% speed, 100% power 4-5 passes to cut 1/8" acrylic.
In the past I would have cut this with round 40/60 3 passes. This could be mirror
focusing, which
I didn't have time to perform. I also noticed a burnt spot on mirror #2.
Between stalling and burnt mirrors I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is
unsafe to use
until a major overhaul is performed.

Of course I try "just one more cable"
and it works. It shockingly lives
another day.

https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/sudo-discuss Trying to get through a project but the laser
isn't behaving. Stalls
during a cut (with laser on of course) but manages tp start back up a dozen
times before just stopping and burning a hole in the piece. Tried 4 or 5
usb cables with varying results but still couldn't get a complete cut
