Stock 175 lens is the most likely

Since he has said in basically every video with this fiber that it is a Monport GA30, I would assume its the stock 175mm lens

I'll have to take a look and see what I can muster up.

laser academy has a laser params converter software , to convert from 30w to 100w or to most any wattage laser , but you really need the lens size from the setting you get for your laser.

@@darrylwhitman8475 laser academy?

Before I forget. Thank you for the discount code you provided. :D

we bought a jewelers rotary since we already had a D80. glad the video helped ya!

Naw, its bamboo print leatherette.

Went with the GA simply cause of the auto focus. It wasnt a whole lot more and being able to think less about measuring properly every time and just hitting the button routinely was the selling point. We do batch work on the fibers in the shop so this helps me out at late hours... lol

@@buildmakeshare I am also new to this so I see in other videos in order to get "colors" on stainless steel you have to "defocus" about 3mm. So, in that case would the auto focus matter on situations where trying to color mark on stainless steel. I am wondering on this as I intent do "color" mark and keep seeing where you have to defocus is to get the best colors. Thoughts?

for the MOPA we have, we havent really had to defocus, just drop the Q-pulse and do a material test on speed, its been pretty consistent. I'll personally prioritize a video for ya. Deal?

@@buildmakeshare Perfect..deal.

I think we will make the effort to do that within the next couple videos. Working on some projects currently and could shoot that video right after!

This is a fair point. The support they have outside the standard overseas nightime hours seem to be more focused on facebook groups and dedicated reps assigned on there. Its been easy enough to get questions asked but the USB inside is kinda silly, I assume its to protect the connector from any metal particle buildup. I personally like the button on the front but I could see the option for the actual foot pedal also being useful.

@@buildmakeshare I'm not saying the button is a bad idea but it's flush and very small. At least offer the plug on the back for the foot pedal. I reached out to them with questions about my GA 100 and they said they didn't know of a GA 100. There's nothing on the website or anywhere else about the auto focus or how to set it for different lens. I was able to get a video from another manufacturer that showed how to set it. After doing some research on the company I found that the Washington address is nothing more than a condominium. I have called all 6 phone numbers that they list for support and all of them go to voicemail and all of the voicemails are full. If it weren't for youtube I would have had no clue as to what files to load from the provided flash drive. I get that it's a compact model but with the provided lens there is no way to use a rotary without turning the laser to the side of the machine. I found someone that states that they actually manufacturers it and they are sending me an extension for the tower so I'm able to raise the laser head higher. It's such a shame because this machine has so many good features but no support what so ever.

@@diyeverything7416 what was your solution for setting the auto focus? did you find a good place for a bigger/smaller lens?

@@KevinOz528 The issue I had was with a smaller lens it wouldn't let the laser head lower enough. It wouldn't work on smaller items anyway so I put tape over it. Then the only limits I had was the travel of the screw. Kinda a waste of money for the feature. Amother company provided me with info on setting the height if I wanted to use it though.

@@diyeverything7416 can you share the info/solution or is it a secret?

Damn that sucks! I've heard bad stories when they first started, but it seems like their logistics have been a bit streamlined. I have 3 lasers total, and they all arrived flawless. Except the "over engineered" crate the 100w came in lol. That thing was heavy and a nightmare to unbox, but maybe it needed that for shipping and international handling. What laser(s) do ya have?

@@buildmakeshare I have a Monport GP50 myself.

@@kevsdesigns You liking it so far? Whatcha make with it? More industrial use or creative?

@@KevinOz528 I'm a Jewelry designer. I got it for marking and for doing Patterns on different precious metals. I'm honestly just getting started with it and trying to find resources for settings and how to use it properly. Monport sent me an email with your video linked which is how I found you. I do have LightBurn and have it set up to run the laser. Now it's just learning LightBurn and settings for my Laser power I think.

appreciated
