Laser Maintenance
Periodic Maintenance (every couple weeks)
1. Clean the x and y axis belt
2. Clean the reflectors and the lens with a qtip and 95% rubbing alcohol. To access the lens, you can take off the laser tube, and then unscrew the top half from the bottom half (it appears to be stuck right now - we weren't strong enough to unscrew it, so if you see someone who's really strong at noisebridge, maybe we can ask them), and the lens is inside. The side of the lens that's reflective (you can see your face in it), is supposed to face up
Occasional Maintenance (twice a year)
Clean the wheel guide, and lubricate it.
As needed maintenance items
- clean the external filters
- clean under and behind laser cutter
- clean internal filters
- wash and scrub slats and honeycomb
- check that max speed and power are set correctly
