Hi All, i just registered to hopefully get help to get started and perhaps later on share my experience.
A friend of mine was about to move, and he had this G.WEIKE 3040 (40W) Laser in his garage. (it was built 2012.4.25)
It had been sitting there for a couple of years.
He said that he had problems getting it running - but he's not that tech savvy, so we'll see if i can manage.
Basically it ended up with us loading it into my car and putting it in my garage instead.
So now i have another project.
First of all, since it has been sitting in my friends garage for a couple of years i was thinking i would go through it to make sure that there's no obvious issues.
I found was that the usb cable was completely rusty, so that's been replaced.
Everything else is clean and tidy, no other rust etc. Belts look and feel ok. Is there anything i should look at specifically?
The cpu card in laser is Leetro (cpu v2.0)
I have a couple of questions:
- We have freezing temperatures here (in sweden, and also in my garage). Can I use some anti-freeze in the cooling water to avoid damages to the laser? Is there any specific recommendations?
- Anyone have a users manual for this model?, Only a product catalog came with it.
- There's a usb port (for a usb memory?) on the machine, what file formats are supported, and what filesystem should be on the usb memory?
- Is there any central repository for open source/shared/free models, projects that you can recommend for a novice like me?
