Alignment Test
The laser tube that came pre-installed in your Muse 3D was carefully aligned in our facilities in
Nevada. When you first turn on your machine, the mirror alignment should be perfect. It is possible,
however, that sometimes mirrors may come out alignment during shipping. Before running your first
job, you will want to check and make sure the mirrors are properly aligned using this simple test.
Once the mirror alignment is confirmed, you are ready to use your laser cutter. If your mirrors are out
of alignment, or if you have installed a new laser tube, you must align the laser using the procedure
provided. For this alignment test we will test fire the laser once in each corner of the machine to
make sure the laser is following the right path to the focus head, and ultimately to the cutting
material.
1. Open the Safety Lid: You will need to access the interior of the machine.
2. Place Thermal Paper: Take a small piece of thermal paper (approx. 15 mm should be plenty)
and place it over the focus lens under Mirror #3.
3. Position Laser Head: Move the laser head into the upper left corner of the workspace.
