I'm looking for the user manual for this machine software v 1.24 I'm also open to someone who can support the machine with technical questions.

I have noticed that at least for lasercutted stencil the price is mostly for apertures, so not much savings. For hand stenciling it may give some minor cost benefits but is it worth it? Messing around with tape and stuff...

Also, if you use etching pen, clean the surface first with solvent as grease blocks the etchant. Some rubbing with steel wool should also help.

We commonly put two images on a stencil 180 deg apart to save space and reduce cost. We keep the image centered left/right because the machines don't like it when they are offset, but turning them around front to back is no issue.

A welding regulator can regulate flow over pressure. Maybe look at one of those.

I know that we maintain lower PPM count from our N2 Generators when we can lower the flow rate. I'm not sure if that would help you or not.

Does your nitrogen supplier have any recommendations for controlling flow? Sounds like the regulators are inadequate or not working properly.

fluctuating PPM is not the Nitrogen if you are using liquid Nitrogen. It is the Oxygen. Your problem is not with the Nitrogen flow, it is Oxygen getting in your oven.

I've looked at the logs, its error 234. Looking backwards, I see where this has happened some time ago as well.

Its looking like this was a CPU speed issue. The BIOS defaults to X3, and it needs X7.5 for the PCA-6180E CPU card.
