Hi,

Greetings from Finland. I am a part-time entrepreneur. I mainly do custom orders. I have two laser engravers 40w Gravograph LS100 and just purchased 80w red and black engraver. I also have Prusa i3 MK3, Graphtec cutter, Workbee Queen pro and basic wood tools. I have noticed that it has been very useful to own a LS100 before getting the red and black ;) .

Welcome Jarkko- we had a Finnlander register not long ago. As I told him I grew up in a little mainly German town surrounded by small Finnish towns and have enjoyed the company of many Finns in the National Guards for 6 years. What controller does the LS100 use [also software]? We advise that you save your Vendor + User files [details in the FAQ section] as they can be hard to reconstruct. I absolutely believe that it is possible to make a good living with lasers if one applies themselves. Gene

Thank you. Nice to hear about the facing with the Finns :) I really don't know which controller the ls100 use, but the software is Gravostyle ( I have v.8) . The Ruida's backup was made with Lightburn.
