Mooz-2 Laser will not do anything (yes it does light up)

[Kili]

I am very new so this might be a user head space issue.

I have tried to:

1. create a laser file - which worked fine
2. used a sample file from Mooz

Neither of these will cut/burn whatever anything I put under the laser.
A. I setup the laser x, y, z as instructed
B. lock it in
C. insert USB and use the touchpad to select and cut

The head moves down and looks like it will do something (laser lights up) but nothing.
I know the laser will burn wood as I turned it up to 100% and moved the x, y and it burned the wood.

You actually might have it all right - but are just moving the laser too fast.

Check this thread:

Some fun sample laser output

Finally got a chance to etch some wood today. For everyone’s reference, here are three (yes, three) separate prints. [image] Note that above the “1/4” speed image is the Default 1200mm/min speed. So, as was discussed in detail on the other thread, 1200mm/min is useless on wood. Later this evening, I decided to mess around, and tried a few more substances. Sugar, it turns out, is very difficult to caramelize with this laser. It’s very hard to…

and notice that I had to slow it down to like 150mm/min in the software to get a good, dark output.

I have a similar issue but I noticed when using MoozStudio the gcode file transferred has 0kilobytes of information stored in it?

Frustrating.

That’s weird. I’ve not had much luck with MoozStudio - I prefer LaserWeb, which it sounds (from your other post) like you’re trying out as well.
