Setting seemed to be fine (the first inch or so looked great). The engraving process worked great for the first inch and a half of the project. At that point I noticed that the tip of the laser head was cherry red. I paused the machine and asked Chad if that was normal (maybe because it had been working so long). He looked and noticed that there was a... wad of gunk... on the tip. At that point he call Austin over. I think the initial conclusion was that the head had not been cleaned well the time before and that layers of dust caked up and began blocking the beam.35065
