Line 57: − + − − ====Other Authorized authorizers:==== − * Ray Doeksen − − Since demand fluctuates, and there are a random group of new and old members that want to be authorized at any one time, it makes sense to find the others and figure out your group schedule/plan. There generally is NOT going to be a calendar-based or widely publicized meetup event; you will have to conctact and make arrangements with actual people, at least until the Canvas Learning Management System is implemented more fully. http://canvas.pumpingstationone.org Line 232:
Line 228: − * When changing the lens, make sure the convex/domed side of the lens is facing upwards (towards the ceiling) -- "BUBBLE UP" − * Focus Lens should be cleaned once a week with Acetone or Denatured Alcohol − * You can clean the lens without removing it by using a long q-tip and alcohol. Make sure to not leave any residue and make sure lens is dry before testing. − + − * When using blue sided tape to test, be careful to not touch or smudge the mirrors and carefully clean with alcohol and q-tip mirors if they do get dirty. During pulse tests, you can try placing piece of aluminum foil sandwiched between two pieces of blue tape to prevent smoke/residue build up.

* If laser is having problems cutting, run simple diagnostic tests first BEFORE assuming and attempting lens alignment. The alignment document (linked below) shows how to do a 4 corner test. The first video (linked below) shows how to check if laser is firing straight down with a piece of clear acrylic.
* Advanced maintenance is performed by trained volunteers. Please do not attempt to align or diagnose the Boss unless you have clearance from the Laser Area Host.
