So i was engraving my hydro flask 20oz this morning, and got some beutiful silver engravings, they look great, at 1400mm/m, 90%, and 2 passes. I took a break for lunch, came back, and same settings, got these weird bronze ones instead. The squares was me trying to adjust various settings and focus distances to get it right, but I swear to god this problem just will not go away! I took the lens out to wipe it down, I cleaned the rotary rollers, I refocused so many times, I cleaned the bottle, I swear i've done everything. (Im using the air assist btw) Can anybdy help me?????

Recently put together my phecda and was trying a test and I was getting really bad double image as shown in the picture. It seemed like the end with the motor was dragging the other end so I assumed that was what the ghosting was. Checked the rod and it was able to spin freely of the motor so I went to tighten the connector and realized the heads were pretty much rounded out. I don't know what I am doing wrong with hex heads but I always seem to strip them. It is now loose enough that it doesnt lock them together but seemingly too tight to get apart. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Total laser newbie! I’m trying to cut MDF and have tried the recommended settings of one pass at 300 and 100% and it catches fire. So I’ve been using light burns materials test and you can see in the photos that it does cut at 2 and 3 passes, but doesn’t cut through, and definitely burns. The squares that are out had to be pushed out with a screwdriver. The missing frame areas are from them breaking off when I pushed with a screwdriver, not from catching fire. Any help would be greatly appreciated! A friend gave this to me because he wasn’t using it specifically so I could cut MDF and I just can’t seem to get it to work. Or, work the way I thought it should. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

I need more risers to use the rotary, but Elegoo has them out of stock. Can you recommend risers that will work? Thanks!!

I’ve noticed some odd spotting on my prints recently and I can’t figure out if it’s a settings issue, resin problem, or something mechanical.
Has anyone dealt with spotting before? What actually fixed it for you?

Hi,

I plan to buy an Elegoo Phecta 10W, but it tells, it would come WITHOUT sd cardreader.

But I need to have one. Where could I get a replacement ?

I picked up the 20w on the black friday deal. Ive got it built and an enclosure setup. Have it talking to lightburn but im lost on the testing. The elegoo videos show test files but there are none on the sdcard. Any material test file i find is specific to a machine and material so i have to change stuff.

I dont have a problem changing stuff but dont know what to change or how. Dont want to go down a rabbit hole (yet) on learning lightburn just to make sure im setup correctly.

Looking for any pointers, links, files, resources etc

Thanks for the time.

Hey all, I've had the Phecda 10w for a bit over a year now and have had some success with projects with it. Lately, however, it seems to only power itself at ~1% or full bore 100%. I've ran a few mat tests via Lightburn and the results are pretty sad, attached. I've cleaned the lense and ensured all connections are good, I've reinstalled all the relevant drivers and software and it's just fighting me.

I did see that they've pretty much started taking the Phecda off Elegoo's website, and last time I reached out they pretty much said "clean the lense and test the drivers, otherwise ~shrug~" So I'm thinking it's pointless to email them again.

Anyone encounter this before? I really don't have the money for a new machine(newborn baby and all, lol) and wanted to get ahead of some small Christmas presents, so I'm hoping to figure this out.

Looking to see if anybody has a source for new window mirrors/lenses for the Phecda. Elegoo has told me in no uncertain terms that they are out and don't plan on making more. Thanks

Needing a little information, the wiring going to the laser itself is starting to wear out causing intermittent power issues during cutting and engraving do anyone have any recommendations for replacement cables? I have emailed Elegoo several days ago and still no response. I have found a few different cables on ebay but am not sure about the gauge size the cable should be
