Note Work In Progress always do a test cut first.
The laser cutter has been tested with acrylic and laser-safe MDF so far, we've purchased this from [https://www.kitronik.co.uk/ Kitronik]. If you want to try a new material (and it's not on the dangerous materials list) please let the Trustees know first.

Q: The laser cutter froze part way through a job.
A: Power cycle the laser cutter, it should offer an option to resume from where it stopped????? (untested on mercury cutter)
Q: Why aren't curves showing on my imported DXF in 2DDES?
A: When exporting DXF from OnShape you need to select "Export splines as polylines". Some lines may still not show depending on exported version compatibility (more investigation needed).
