Partially fixed.

There’s still some minor ghosting, but most functionality has been restored. Check out the Tarkin Yellow Tag 6/20/26 thread for more detail.

Thank you for looking into this Nick,

Do we have a plan to get the small machines up and running.

I mostly use Tarkin for cutting thin acrylic and some fine etching. I noticed the small lasers have been down the last few times I’ve been in.

Thanks,

Gus

Hello, I just used Tarkin again today. Its working well, I dont see ghosting anymore however the laser power seems to still be a bit weak. Normally 100/100 P/S will blast through my 1/32 acrylic sheets but it was struggling. I slowed it down to 90 and it worked good enough.

Thanks for making the adjustments.
