I'm a EE currently working with 3d printers and currently waiting for an OM tech 50W to come in. I have some experience using a 50W Epilog from nearby library and excited to make things out of acrylic, wood, and laserable rubber.

Hello! I'm also from North Texas and received my OM Tech 60 watt last week. I am very slow about getting things set up. I too had a Universal Laser (like an Epilogue) before I retired in 2016. I am still having some problems getting started, but thought we might want to commiserate on some of the issues. this is my very first post, so I am not sure what is allowed. Would like to give you my phone number if it is allowed.
Sid
