Thanks Kevin, I had no idea that could be changed and I've now reverted back to the classic display.

With the new v5 of the forum software comes a new interface, which is radically different from the previous one, and takes some getting used to. It's also not everyone's preference, so if you prefer the old style view, you can change this in your profile settings. Here's how: Firstly, edit your profile by choosing the "Edit Profile" option from the drop-down menu you get when you click on your forum name at the top right of the screen: Then choose the "Content Preferences" option at the bottom of the list of settings on the left: Enable the "Change layout views" setting, which will then reveal all the options and settings you have for viewing the forums: Kev

Let's hope they keep supporting it, as it seems they have a strong preference for the new style! I don't mind it personally, but I do appreciate its drawbacks. Kev

Thanks for that Kev. I have to say that I don’t like the boxy- grid format at all, find it most off-putting, so I’m much happier now that I have reverted to the “classic” format. Max

This is actually a user-controllable setting now. Edit your profile from the menu at the top right of the page, and then select "Content Preferences". This will give you something like this: Enable the "Change layout views" option at the bottom, and you'll be able to select how you view the forums: Kev

So, I've had a very brief play with the machine. I wanted to create a couple of masks for the seat of my Hunter model but lost enthusiasm when I couldn't get the laser working and hand painted the lettering instead. However, I had already created a file in Lightburn so used that as a test. Taking some scrap from the 1ManArmy masks I had left over from the Spitfire build I experimented with various speeds and power outputs. There is still some work to be done as you can see. This was two passes using 5% power and a speed of 3300. I admit I'm more optimistic than I was this time last week! 😉

Here's the latest. With the help of my son we managed to get the PC and Lightburn to see the laser 😲 Whether I can do anything with it remains to be seen but it appears to be a step forward. More soon.
