My laser crapped out the other day, after nearly 2.5 years of use. Not bad I guess for a cheap laser, but currently over 1month delivery of a new tube. Back to CAD work in the mean time.

yea i have tried various things over the year to prevent the molds from chipping in corners, nothing seems 100% full proof, you almost have to put the glass cloth into the corner while the surface coat is right before the point where you can leave a fingerprint, but not transfer the surface coat to you finger. That way the glass kind of “sinks” into the surface coat.

if there’s anything i can cut for you, let me know....
