Re: Recycling Acrylic?

Thanks for the reply. How did you set up the 'not to landfill' collection may I ask? I'd be grateful for any contact that might help....

Recycling Acrylic?

Hi, What do you do for recycling acrylic waste? I have built up a large amount here ( I would say in excess of a ton) and now need to find someone willing to collect ( preferably ) or within driving distance in West Yorkshire where I can actually take the materials for disposal. At this stage, I am ...

Re: Using an Apple Mac to run a Laser Script

I realise this is an old thread, but thought I'd post anyway as it might help someone. I had been using a Windows 7 laptop for my laser but as I was changing my Mac around for a different model and had room to try the latest version of Parallels desktop 11 (to run Windows 7 virtually on the Mac) I t...

Also interested to know what others are doing with regard to...

Temperatures

So here is a piece of irony. After having a tube go on me last week in the hot weather I did two things: (1) Buy a digital temp monitor off eBay with an alarm and (2) decided that to avoid bubbles in the tube I would run the water pump constantly as I had seen that advised as a strategy for longer t...

Re: Odd symptoms. Input please!!!!

Tube gone..... Still looking on the positive side I now have learnt some more lessons in laser ownership. First lesson is that in the post from eBay is a digital aquarium thermometer with user set temp alarms. Thanks for the comment too about tube debris at the mirror end. The reality is I had not r...
