that’s a sweet cutout design.

FYI: The font is meant to look jagged.
Also, I need to adjust my kerf settings a bit.
But for those of you who know the hurdles I’ve had with my machine, this is a pretty big milestone.
146 pierces, and 10 minute cut time. So far so good.

Keep on cutting! You’ll have things dialed in soon.

So was it the new Langmuir electronics enclosure that fixed your issues?
" I’ve authorized a complete replacement Electronics Enclosure (including THC chip) and VIM."
which component fixed the issue ?

I think they are testing it? We may never know.
Maybe we will?
I’m just glad the poor guy is cutting metal…

I know folks would have appreciated me replacing one component at a time until I found the culprit, but my rationale was that I didn’t want to chance an old, bad component taking a new good component out with it. It certainly seems that one of those items (box, THC, VIM) was the culprit. Prior to this complex program (368kb worth of G-code), I ran about 30’ of straight lines on a variety of material thicknesses; not a single hiccup over two days of trying. That’s a new record, but I’m still going to cut for a full week before I call it “fixed”.
Don’t jinx me @Phillipw!

Thanks for all of the kind words @ttoy360, @Wsidr1, @ChelanJim, @72Pony, @Bigdaddy2166. It’s nice to be finally using this machine.
Here’s today’s project:
That’s another 10 minutes of torch-on time and 100 or so pierces; 17” x 14” in 10ga. And some fairly complex geometry, too. I’m calling it fixed!

I got my latest project completed for my pole barn wall. Snowy weather here in Michigan keeps me indoor and design them. I’m ready for summer to arrive. I’m a hobbyist and I make these signs for myself and not for sale. I make these because I respect them and they make me think of my childhood. This is a 4 layer sign and like always fun project on my Crossfire PRO.

That IH sign is killer! I’ve always liked their logo. It’s so simple but looks great.
