Hello,

following many problems, I had to store my equipment, in all the moves I lost several things.

The first is the rectangular fence supplied with the 80W engraver.

The second is the settings of rdwork which allows a better quality of engraving.
(It seems to me that this should be located in: setting-generalsetting ...). (it also seems to me that I had settings modified for small circle too).

Of course I'm planning I stored everything on a hard disk, even the model of the guide, but I can't find my hard disk anymore :/
It seems to me that the distance is 53 millimeters, but I'm not sure.

So if anyone can help me ^^

I still haven't found all my settings but I found this, so I'm happy ^^ :

However, I can't find any info on the focal length guide.
If I remember correctly, the focal should be about 50mm from the mirror so on the 80W the guide should be 25mm? (focal between the nozzle and the material) if someone can confirm it for me :)

Otherwise I will do tests at several focal lengths and take the best one:/

Russ built a focus ramp which is very accurate [and I still use] the plans should be in the file with Russ' build plans, if you can't find it I can help. Gene
