I do a bit of laser cutting here and there and have a small Chinese laser which I can operate without issue. Last year I got the brilliant idea to invest in a new bigger laser and after purchasing it and paying the subsequent $2000 of import and freight fees I finally got it home. And I can't make it work.
We've been playing around with the x700 since December and nothing. I tried using the redsail laser cut software, it won't even open, it says it can't detect a link with the machine.
I tried easy cut, it won't import an AI file. If I draw a square in the program to test the machine it only cuts down not down across back up and across. We did a test on the machine and it said there were io input errors numbers 1,6,14,15,16.
Also when I try and cut the test square I get an error message saying 'outrange if continue.' The square is definately in the range it's in the very center of the machine! I read on another forum I should reduce the table size by .1mm and it should resolve this issue; has anyone else had the issue or tried that suggestion?
I am at a loss and am about ready to throw the thing to the curb for hard rubbish. The lovely people I purchased it from have not responded to any questions or emails can someone on here please help me if they are familiar with the machine or with these errors. Please. I have taken photos of the error messages if that helps.
I will do just about anything for someone to give me a quick tutorial on how to get this thing to run
