Hey so I bought the Air Assist kit from Creality directly to help out my Falcon 10W. I installed everything and readjusted the laser height using the metal stepper tool to cut the 3mm MDF that I use. It won’t cut anything. It barely engraves! However when i replaced the lens protector on it using a spare lens protector I ordered along with it it cuts fine. Is the lens protector from the air assist kit affecting the focusing of the laser? Has anyone else had this issue?
Going thru similar here.
Cutting kept taking more and more passes.
Did some cleaning with compressed air and it got better for a bit.
Cleaned outside of lens cover and it got better for a bit.
Then I couldn’t cut anything.
Alcohol wouldn’t clean a very small smudge in center of lens cover.
3 soakings for lens cover in dawn soap and hot water got it clean. Dried it and installed.
Still no cut! But a vapor cloud has formed inside of lens cover. I guess I didn’t perfectly dry it. Removed and dried with air assist.
Now it’s cutting better than ever with less passes!
I just ordered new lens covers.
