Anybody else receive their Ortur Diode Laser yet?
I’m still not up and running, though I have been working with Ortur on getting there. I needed to install new base software and then new firmware and had a snafu there. The files need to be unzipped first to a directory and then copied into the laser. Even though the zip file shows the files inside, and lets you copy them into the laser which seems to accept them, they aren’t actually unzipped although there is no clue that is so except that they don’t work.
Still having sporadic communications between LB and the laser. Expecting a new firmware update on Saturday.
If someone else knows about these things or is up in running, I’d love to hear from you…
kremsdorf@gmail.com or reply here.
I ordered mine on Feb 28 and have not heard anything about when to expect it.

Marty, on GearBest website you can check on your order status.

Ok I’m breaking down and ordering one more laser.
Just so I can be like all the other cool kids on the block. (And I cant make Lightburn work with the neje)
It should be here in a week.

Ok, I ordered one on March 1st. Although my card was charged, and I’ve pressed “Process Faster” a couple of times, it has still not shipped. Oh, by the way, I ordered the 20W laser. More POWER. I hope that wasn’t a mistake.

I’m going to learn LightBurn, so I installed it on my Mac. Since I don’t yet have a laser, it crashes everytime it goes out to look for one.
I have learned, thought, that if you simply close the dialog box that says it is going to go look for one (rather than clicking OK or Cancel) it lets you proceed without crashing.
Off to the lessons.

That’s funny, I must have pressed that “Process Faster” button a dozen times … nothing. I think it’s nothing more than an outlet for impatient people to futilely relieve themselves with a hollow promise.

FYI, there’s a Laser Intro class being taught on the 20th by Evan.
I think I finally have the laser working. I got the 20watt version though I’m sure that different affect my startup woes. So far I have turned off both computer and laser and been able to power back up and have it work 4 times. I couldn’t get it to work at all before so this is a big step forward.
I think we should invite ortur@ortur3dprinter.com to join our forum… Not sure how to do that.

As the NCP epidemic in China, our factory had been closed for one and half months, and Gearbest sold all their inventory, could not get new supply from us.
Anyway, the NCP epidemic is going to the end in China, and we’re back to work now, we’re resuming the production now, and with the hope to supply Gearbest in half month, so, your order may be shipped in late March.
Sorry for the delaying, but everything would be better and better.

I ordered a 15W laser on Feb 29. On March 10 via GearBest Chat, I was told that they expected to have more in 7-10 business days. They marked my order “Top Priority” (whatever that means), and once the product becomes available they will dispatch it as soon as possible. Shipping takes 7-10 or 7-15 days after dispatch.
Mine was shipped by DHL and arrived WEdnesday after a Saturday order. Has anyone else received machine? I’d love to chat about your experiences…
Wooo Hoooo! My status changed. Well at least the button to expedite disappeared so that’s something. LOL

If lasers are starting to flow then should we stoke the coals?
What if we did a video chat with those who already have them?
We could schedule a video demo of lasers that are already in use.
Would people like me to schedule a video chat among us?
Probably should wait til some actually arrive but seems like it could be fun.
FYI, I just found this free and no login video conferencing software which just takes someone to create a name and hit enter and then pass out the URL it provides. works in the browser from the URL

We’ve been working with Zoom which integrates with PunchPass … it’s a natural. 
well, if everyone has installed it then I guess I can too. But I like no-install options and bonus for open source Jitsi.
