Laser Cutter Log

in the shop with charlotte for octohedron -> hexahedron framing cut for mabon 3aw sculpture material ((muslin, scrim, gauze) x (plain, flour-dredged)) evaluation
we had a lot of issues with understanding the laser’s behavior:
when initially trying to frame the cut, the frame would only extend for X and not Y
- probably (though i can’t confirm) the size of the printed area exceeded the bed size, so it refused to frame? when manually jogging or attempting to navigate to “move to position” to a coordinate such as (300,300), the head would only move in x and not in y - once we were trying to go to origin or smth and the head tried to go off bed and made a bad noise and i hit the emergency stop :0 we arbitrarily resized the piece so that it was about half size (6” instead of 12”), and it would frame correctly when we were at y = ~300, but not when y ~= 0 (job origin was either top left or top right, so it shouldn’t have been attempting to go up) not really sure how we resolved this tbh… could have been that restart w/ the emergency stop (though i had restarted 2x already), but at some point the manual coordinate navigation began to work again.
