Thanks for the update. I have long intended to attempt laser-engraving my zine (on paper), as an alternative to printing. I'm not sure how or if this will work, but I aim to try it tonight or this week. I'm not talking mass copy production, I just want to try a couple pages; if that works then one full copy of the zine. I imagine intricate work such as text may be difficult. Well, I never met a difficulty I couldn't further complicate.<br>

Did you see this thread? Not a deal-breaker, just be aware. It sounds like for the light etching of yr chocolates this won't be a prob.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

<br><br>I passed by NB today, and cleaned the laser cutter, aligned the beam,<br>
oiled and adjusted the carriage.<br>
<br>
I notice that the laser has faded considerably. It used to cut<br>
through 1/8" acrylic with ease, and now it requires a couple passes.<br>
It used to etch wood cleanly, and now it tends to burn and toast even<br>
thin wood.<br>
<br>
I believe this laser tube may be in need of replacement in the near<br>
future. Next time I come from Austin, I'll bring a IR beam power<br>
meter with me, and measure how many watts the tube is producing.<br>
