<p>So looking through the NB discuss list history (and talking to myself more here) there are actually a few more things the Laser Cutter needs. From what I understand there is:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><b>1)</b> Parallel > USB controller board needed (waiting for word from the people at Full Spectrum Laser and the shop in China for a price quote - anyone received a reply?) Also, Henner says he might be able to hack this with Arduino</p>
<p><b>2)</b> Water pump and one hose missing (according to Adam's email from the Hackathon in July)</p>
<p><b>3) </b>Air Pump maybe (haven't checked to see if we have this)</p>
<p><b>4)</b> Calibration of mirrors and stuff (can someone volunteer to do this? we have manuals for it, it's just tedious)</p>
<p><b>5)</b> Minor wiring and screws install work (I volunteer to do this)</p>
<p><b>6)</b> a Windows machine to run the software (I can donate one if needed)</p>
<p><b>7)</b> Install software and key (I guess Jerrod has this info?)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Just trying to document the steps needed in one place here for everyone. Finally, we need to pay Mitch back for the $237 he spent on the new tube. Below is an old email with details from the thread here "Laser cutter repair bounty"</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Adam: "I tried fixing it at the stupid shit hackathon but I could not find the water pump and the other rubber hose. There is otherwise everything you need to get the laser cutter running."<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Mitch: "Zach -- please see the email from Henner, copied below, for a list of things that needs to be done. And please see the Doodle sent by Rubin, copied below, to pick a time to meet to fix the lasercutter. Everyone -- I paid for the laser tube when I
was in China. I would very much love to be paid back for it. It cost me: Laser tube: $120.37 shipping from Shenzhen to SF: $117.00 Total: $237.37 Would people be kind enough to pitch in, and help collect for this? Thanks, Mitch."</p>

needs to be done, and with a few people, that would be doable in an afternoon. - check if we have the water pump and air pump in working condition. If not, get new ones. - Get a bucket of 5 Gallons of distilled water. - Connect the laser tube to the high voltage
power supply (as far as I know, the new tube is already in the cutter)000 - calibrate things, mirrors and stuff. - make a free space in the corner of Noisebridge next to the windows, now full of DJ gear. - Find a table to put it on permanently. - Prepare an
outlet in the window where we can connect the blower pipe. - Get the software installed somewhere (I think Jarrod has a license key somewhere and we need a windows machine). -h On 11 July 2015 at 14:31, jarrod hicks wrote: I too will match that. On Jul 11,

<p>OK so I took the laser cutter Main PCB home last night and did some work on it. I believe I got it all fixed up now, with the proper +5v and +24v LEDs lighting up now - it should be working 100% ! :D</p>

<p>Now the only thing left (aside from me fixing some crappy wiring jobs, installing the tube, and replacing screws and fuses) is the CONTROLLER BOARD that handles Parallel > USB. Here is a link to it again:</p>
<p><a title="Ctrl+Click or tap to follow the link" id="LPlnk221987" href="https://moderndevice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/fse-controller-768x1024.jpg">https://moderndevice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/fse-controller-768x1024.jpg</a><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Has anyone received a response from the manufacturer about this? Eric, could you ask Full Spectrum Laser for the price cost for just this board (I know they quoted $700 for both, but I have the larger one working now). LMK.<br>

</p>
<p>There is a second hand one for $1500 we could raise money for. That way we have this one for parts. That's one option.<br>
</p>
<p>Im going to try emailing the manufacture to see what replacement costs would be.</p>
