<div dir="ltr">thx for the info. if i try to get the full spectrum laser running with linuxcnc, i will do it from another (probably mine) computer. <br><br>just curious, is linux & open source 3D & lasercutter software <i>really</i> that far behind windows & proprietary? i haven't found a good comparison <br>

<p dir="ltr">We need windows to run the black 3d printer on it's most recent firmware. You can add a linux partition but do not remove windows from that machine please. I try not to get tech evangelists get into my head too much. All of the os's have their strengths and weaknesses.</p>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div>as per the lasercutter, "It does seem like more of a software issue than hardware.", maybe it's time to find or compile drivers for linuxcnc as the manual suggests <a href="https://fslaser.com/index.php/aitdownloadablefiles/download/aitfile/aitfile_id/12/" target="_blank">https://fslaser.com/index.php/aitdownloadablefiles/download/aitfile/aitfile_id/12/</a><br>
<br></div>i'm embarrassed that i haven't gotten to it already. windows 7...really? it's a great machine, don't get me wrong; but, trying to explain the cause of not employing linuxcnc to that guy from the toronto hackerspace was not at all pleasant :/<br>
