  • Page 4: Safety Precautions

    Safety Precautions 1)The RAY5 engraves and cuts materials by the means of a high- energy diode laser beam. The hazards associated with a high-energy diode laser beam include the possibility of fires, generation of hazardous and/or irritating toxic fumes, but more importantly damage to eyes and skin.
  • Page 5 RAY5 • DO NOT allow unsupervised access to the RAY5 to children; • DO NOT allow access near the RAY5 to pets; • DO NOT modify or disable any safety features of the laser system;...
  • Page 6 Some materials are prone to catch fire during cutting operations creating flame, fumes and smoke. Although the RAY5 has a built in flame sensor, this technology should NOT be considered 100% accurate and should be seen only as a warning system.
  • Page 7 It is strongly recommended that a Fire Extinguisher should be located within close proximity to the RAY5. Extinguishers should be halogen or multi-purpose dry chemical. Alternatively or in conjunction with the Fire Extinguisher it is recommended a “Fire Extinguisher Ball” is positioned beside the RAY5.
  • Page 8 8) Environmental requirements Temperature requirement: 10°C~30°C, humidity requirement: 20%~50%, this RAY5 laser engravers can work normally within this range; beyond this range, this laser engravers will unable to achieve the best engraving results. 9) Below a list of some of the most known hazardous materials that the user SHOULD NOT attempt to engrave or cut on.
  • Page 9 10) The RAY5 has built in technology and algorithms to keep its users and the surrounding environment safe. This said its important to understand the RAY5 is not a toy and should be operated with care and respect. Important information regarding your RAY5 12v power system: Never Use a different voltage Power Adapter.
  • Page 10 • Once the RAY5 detects 12v present you will see the motherboard emit a light red glow on the LED of the Motherboard. This mean the your motherboard is powered.

  • Page 22 You can complete the selection of engraving/cutting graphics by ①importing computer pictures or files/②making graphics on the drawings. ①When importing computer pictures or files, affected by the file format, change the supported format to "all supported items" to find the imported content. ②Make graphics on the drawing, you can use the graphics editing function on the left to make any pattern on the drawing Step3.
  • Page 23 Take the current graph as an example. The green point in the lower left corner of the graph is the origin of the laser (the current position is the original position where the laser starts to work). After placing the sheet under the laser, click "Border" to make the laser go through the outline of the picture to ensure the picture It can completely cover the inside of the board.

  • Page 37: Question 2:What If The Filament Does Not Discharge From The Machine

    Question 2:What if the filament does not discharge from the machine? 1. After the machine nozzle is heated, the consumables are normally fed into the feeding mechanism by hand, and then passed through the Teflon tube to enter the nozzle. 2.

  • Page 38: Question 3

    Question 3: When the machine returns the filament, it can't be returned. What should I do when stuck in the pneumatic joint? 1. Before returning the material, please heat the nozzle first, and then withdraw the consumables as soon as possible. If you can't pump it, you can re-feed the material with the advanced material, and melt the extruded block formed at the end of the consumable in...

  • Page 39: Stuck In The Pneumatic Joint

    3. Because the end of the consumables in the nozzle will be deformed by heat, if the end deformed consumables directly pulled out, it may be stuck to the pneumatic joint or the limit switch for damage detection. (The limit switch for the broken material detection is single.

  • Page 40: Question 5

    Question 5: The left side of the platform can be leveled, but the right side cannot be leveled. If this happens, the X-axis beam is generally loose. At this time, the hex socket on the right side of the machine can be adjusted with a wrench to adjust the tightness.

  • Page 41: Question6

    Question6: Filament does not stick to the platform 1. After the user gets the 3D printer, if the leveling is found to be curled on the first layer of silk, it feels like it is gently falling on the platform. It can be judged that the leveling is not adjusted, and the nozzle is too high from the hot bed.
