    Cuts great one day, will not cut at all next day

    I have several 15 watt blue diode lasers
    All of them cut acrylic and mdf great one day and all of them will not cut the next day at all
    Why?

    Maybe because of the MTBF? laser diodes only last a couple of hours, duty cycle is only 10%, unlike the CO2 lasers that you can run it all day everyday
