CNC Shark Forum

Having just aquired a 3 watt laser for my HD-4, and downloaded the PP files the way the user manual instructs, I was flumoxxed why I could not load the .tap file to the thumb drive. I kept getting an error message that it was not getting along with the system. I had just also upgraded to Vcarve Desk...

Is there any advantage to using the XY setup at a corner rather than at "center mass"? I use center mass, but could be persuaded to change if there is a good enough reason. Thanks....
