Hello - just wanted to check while setting my cutting files up at home; is Big Thunder currently working, and is the whole bed usable or is the usable bed size still limited?
Thanks
I used it a few days ago and it cut fine within a limited area. At the time I was told that the issue affecting the entire bed size was not yet resolved. I did not test that assertion; I had a small piece.

It is mostly working. There was a combination of reasons that it wasn’t 100% in order, a couple of which I fixed last night.
The bed is leveled again, so it’s cutting/ etching fairly consistently across the whole bed, but the laser is slightly out of alignment, power still fluctuates a little bit between the left and right sides and top to bottom.
If you’re just cutting the material, it’s perfectly fine, cuz you can either do a second pass or just bump up the power a little bit, but if you’re trying to do fine detail etching, you might want to wait until I finish tuning it.
