When laser etching glass, the glass tends to heat up and chip away. The wet paper is used to help keep the glass cool and offers a more sandblasted smooth etch. You can also use gift wrap-tissue type paper; then spray Windex on it. The soapy tissue is easier to work out the wrinkles.
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Basically, my idea was to create a video that could be used by anyone around the world just by watching without the issue of sound quality or language. I'll keep that in mind in the future and see if I can find a creative solution. Have a great day!
Mike, my thought is that you might have plugged in or unplugged the attachment with the machine ON?
I would say you should call tech support Monday morning to see what part(s) need to be adjusted or replaced. Oh, one more thing, you might want to try and troubleshoot the problem by unplugging the Ethernet cable that plugs directly into the laser tube. With that unplugged, turn the machine ON and see if it will boot up then. Let me know what you find out.
I did the same thing today.... I forgot to turn the power of to the laser engraver then unplugged my rotary attachment now all I get is 8 squares on the LCD display and the machine wont respond. the only thing that turns on is the fans. Now I am panicking. Since your post was 7 months ago did you resolve your problem and if so what did you need to do?
@rednova Ouch! :< I'd recommend you turn the machine OFF, and remove the right side panel. Then, turn the system back ON, and see if the system will initialize. On the main control board, there should be a row of 4 bright red LED's lit up. If not, it sounds like it may have "shorted out" the main board or a wiring harness. Most likely, the control board needs to be replaced. OR possibly, a breaker was thrown by the power supply. Check to make sure those are pushed in.callEP-TS 303-215-9171
Thanks for the input. OK I took the right side cover off and turned the machine on . I located the row of bright red LED's. From what I can see the first 2 LED's are lit up , the 3rd is not and the forth is lit up.
Hi, I have the same Epilog laser, but i have a problem, it stop working and it only turn on the data and pointer green lights, they still lighting and in the screen appear like 8 black blocks. when i check the right side of the panel, the motherboard have 4 red lights turn on, Can someone help me?

Why did you put newspaper around the glass?

Next time you do one of these you need to add some dialog so that those that don't know how to work one of these knows whats going on.

Hi which model of etcher are you using?
Seems to be very versatile.

It looks to be a 60 watt Epilog Helix laser.
It's a very versatile machine indeed! Our 45 watt model does all kinds of stuff.

Ok, and how much does the laser + glass adapter cost? Masochistic minds want to know :)

You can find a used model for 5-10k depending on how hard you look and how new of a model you're looking for.
