What kind of power supply does the L-Cheapo need?
The L-Cheapo will run off a 12V or 24V supply with at least 6A to run the laser. 3D printer hot-end power will have more than enough peak current. Otherwise, use an external power supply. To run a typical laser engraver gantry with the same power supply as the laser, you will need at least 8A continuous current.
How do I connect PWM?
See The L-Cheapo Manual on connecting PWM. Generally on 3D printers, you will be connecting it to the fan control. If you do not have PWM out on your board, hook it up to +V to run the laser at full power at all times.
Do you track your shipments?
Yes. Each laser is individually tested, then when a tracking number is issued, Paypal will automatically forward it.
Did you get my order?
Did you get a receipt? If you have an invoice number, we got your order. If not, Paypal did not bill you, so try again or contact Paypal support.
Can it cut [insert material here]?
Probably. Check out our youtube channel, or ask support if you are unsure. BE CAREFUL with various plastics – many of them emit toxic fumes when laser cut. A2: If none of those answers were sufficient, feel free to contact support and mail us a sample. We'll make a video of test cutting it for you.
My laser is starting to lose cutting power, is it faulty?
Unlikely. You probably just need to clean the lens. To do so, simply wipe the lens clean with a dry microfiber cloth. When cutting wood, especially without air assist, you may find smoke fouling accumulates on the lens quickly, and it may need to be cleaned every 4-5 hours of operation.
