Supporting The Forum / Solid State Drive

« on: July 23, 2018, 08:46:30 AM »

The forum was recently moved (a forced move) to a server with a solid state drive. While this is a good thing, I didn't have a choice about the move and the hosting package monthly priced was increased because of it.

The forum is growing because of the number of posts being made each day and the number of uploads is taking up a lot of disk space. I have to keep upgrading to the next hosting package size (more $$$) as the forum grows. If anyone cares to donate a one time donation it would be appreciated -- or -- make a recurring $1.00 Paypal donation each month would help as well.

K40 Safety Modifications / K40 Laser Modification List

« on: November 09, 2017, 02:16:36 PM »

As requested, I've created this section to try and build up a list of the safety things you need to look at and modify (if necessary) to make a $400.00 K40 CO2 Laser machine safe to use.

Those mods will be contributed by the members of this forum. If you have a K40 and are not yet a registered member, this would be a good reason to register and post!

Thank you all...

BenCutLaser / BCL 2.3 Engaving is released (CLOSED)

« on: September 02, 2017, 10:37:12 AM »

I am releasing BCL 2.3 which contains the engraving features.

I want to thank all of the beta testers who helped me and Paul to test BCL engraving features.

Because of the additional work it took to bring world class engraving to BCL, Paul and I feel a price increase to $49.95 is warranted. So, as of 09/01/2017 the price for BCL will be $49.95.

Anyone who installs 2.3 will have to re-create their tool paths. Due to tool path structural changes needed to support engraving, you cannot load in any previous tool path files. Sorry for this inconvenience.
