I was using the Big Thunder laser this afternoon (5 pm Monday). The cut path seemed ‘blown out’ despite checking the focus several times. It didn’t cut through 1/4” plywood at 10 speed and 99 power. I moved my project to Blitzen and it worked just fine at 50 speed and 99 power.
I put the Cone of Shame on top. It did seem to be a focus/lens issue, but I have no expertise in these things.
I used the QR code. The kiosk had a dialogue to enter a passcode—so perhaps not broken, just needing information I couldn’t provide.
