Re: Forum Software Q&A

I've noticed that on occasion, when I try to post a new topic, the page seems to freeze for quite a long time, and sometimes it comes back as a successful post oh, but other times it comes back with an error. I don't remember it right off the top of my head, but I think it may have been a 503 error. Anyway, whether it says that it was successful or not, more often than not when I go back to the Upstream thread, it shows that I have posted more than one time, whereas I only click the button once. I have noticed quite a few dupe topics from other users as well, so I'm pretty sure this is not a user error. I saw elsewhere that you mentioned this is a custom board, so I figured I would bring it to your attention.
My name is Ben. I own a Fokoos FE20 5W diode, which is finally working after quite a bit of part wrangling! I do also have the Odin 5 3d printer from the same company. As of this writing, I am using lightburn version 1.1.04 on Windows 10 pro.

When I posted that, it only posted once, but I got an error message which I will attach to this. It did not duplicate the message this time, but it also did not give me a successful post message either.

Yes, we are having DNS issues. Hopefully it'll resolve soon.

Hi rich,
im using LB with my Foxalien mastur with a 40w laser, I am having trouble with etching time as, whenever i import an svg/png then setup as per my speed tests the image always runs far to the right of the image not actually burning but movement
images below may explain a little better and advice will be gratefully received as im going nuts trying to speed my time up on a basic image
Thanks
Craig
Ps add image button isn't working so I've added attachments

Hi,
I don't see every post, so please just ask the group. But with that said, check your over-scanning setting on the cuts and layers. What you see in the preview is just traversal moves by the laser. It won't actually burn off to the side.

Sorry to hear that. This board is modelled after old-school bulletin boards for ease of use. These are the forums, the store is a completely different website. Here's a link to the store.

I ordered an atomstack 20w laser.
Received a TronHoo 50w laser.
Works great.
Any information on 50w lasers would be appreciated.

50W is meaningless. That's just the size of the power supply, not the laser module. I'll guess it's a 10W module.
