Hi there, I recently bought an old Epilog 24EX, and am new to laser engraving.
We have run a couple of tests, and generally successful, but now started doing a couple of horizontal lines in the raster (at the same y area for different files, file attached) and thought to look inside/under the encoder reader, which is one part I did not clean when I did a full deep clean.
So, I started taking this apart, up to coming to a stop encountering a mystery bolt, which is pointed out in the pictures, this will need to be removed to be able to lift the encoder reader assembly.
Anyone with experience in this removal, I would appreciate the feedback very much. Specifically now to remove that little bolt or whatever it is.
I realize that this may not solve the problem and may still need to get a new encoder strip, etc. but I'd like to try at least, as the machine right now is not making us any money.
Thanks in advance.
