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

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

going wrong? were you using your own computer or the dedicated desktop?

@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.

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.

It was vector. The issue with raster mode is usually the end switch (on the
left side of the gantry) comes loose.
