Ricky Are your/it’s cable connectors firmly seated. Is your USB cable of good quality. Is there any drag/pulling on cables while laser is in operation. Does it always stop at the same place or after a certain amount of time. Are there any ‘error’ messages in the console. Can you run the job directly from controller to bypass any possible USB cable issues. ---
