I bought an Atomstack A5 about a month ago and everything has been working fine as far as I can tell, but what do I know
Today I did some engraving on some beechwood and it worked great. Then I tried to engrave on a mirror but nothing was showing so I thought I had gotten my settings wrong, and yes, I had set it to 10% power instead of 100%, so I adjusted it to 100% and fired it up again, but with the same result.
Well ok, I thought maybe it was not powerfull enough to engrave on mirror, so I switched back to beechwood, and nothing, not even the tinies mark, even at 100% power. Is it possible that I have ruined the laser module by trying to engrave on a mirror?? Or is it just a coincidence?
Edit: I am using LasarGRBL. Everything looks to be working. it moves around as it should, and I can move it using the arrows and home button, It even fires the laser when it is running, but it is not burning. It is like the power is way to weak. I focus it the same way as I allways do.
The only difference I notice is that I can not turn on the laser with the button to align it anymore.
I hope someone can help me because I have a lot of stuff to engrave
