* When changing the lens, make sure the convex/domed side of the lens is facing upwards (towards the ceiling)
* 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
* Focus Lens should be cleaned once a week with Acetone or Denatured Alcohol
* (How often should the air filter be changed?)
* Clean out air filter once a week using the Shopvac.
* 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.
* Sometimes the nozzle itself can get clogged with soot & debris so make sure to clean that out as well.
* If laser is having problems cutting, run simple diagnostic tests first BEFORE assuming and attempting lens alignment. The alignment document shows how to do a 4 corner test. The first video shows how to check if laser is firing straight down with a piece of clear acrylic.
* 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.

From BOSS: "It (the old video) is a source for alignment but it an old video and we have a new one coming out soon....[the] alignment document is the most recent source that we have...the video starts with tube leveling, please refrain from doing that if you can because that will make you have to adjust every mirror moving forward."
