Some one has left the Laser cutter on rotary mode? Anyone know how to get it back @lasertechs

Do we know if the laser was made good after stuck lens?
@peter_hellyer and I managed to get the stuck lens out and replace it with the new one and a fresh holder. I had to leave so Pete did some testing…
Still awaiting the results but as I have heard nothing I assume it’s workibg as expected.
The fresh holder has a crack in it - but it works, just needs care on removal.
If anyone has model of lens holder I can build a metal one.
What format do you need?
Open a different saved plate should do it. Though I’m sure there is a simpler way.
What?
What file format do you need of the modelled lens holder?
any luck on getting the rotary settings off?
Not too familiar with file types - but ideally something I can import into fusion 360.
Even a sketch is fine from top/side/front views - just need measurements, can easily make a model myself but didn’t have time to measure it today.
Settings, accessories, disable rotary, if I remember right
Another laser q - is there a way to repeat a job without using 'reset job '?
I was repeating the same job about 50 times (it was only 7 seconds/ cycle) - but after every job reset it calculated the engraving path which took at least a minute each time. I tried repeat cut lines but that only repeated the cuts and not the engraves on the job.
thanks - not going to make the trip now. but noted for future.
Cheers
Increase the number of passes for that colour? Same window as the speed/power settings, over on the right. Pretty sure I’ve used that when engraving. Why are so many repeats needed? I’m intrigued…
Unfortunately it’s not all on the same piece - basically engraving a bunch of tubes all with identical hole marks - so I can drill them out for some electronic bagpipes. I want to run the whole job again and again after I swap in each new tube.
The button on the laser which looks like the enter key will repeat the job.
Fantastic! Will try this next time
