I had a problem with aligning the laser eye of the UScutter SC. Everytime I need to calibrate and print+cut, the laser just turn off and I have to go thru selecting LOCAL, ON/OFF to turn the laser on. But whenever it start moving or need to move the laser from register 1, 2, and 3, the laser just turn off and i have to go thru it again. I called the company and see if there is a settings I missed or switch, I was told there is none and that is the only way (for now)
Here is my solution:
I added a switch and battery to the laser so I can turn it on and off whenever and I don't have to go thru the process.
The rig is not pretty since I use glue gun only. I needed it to be easily remove in case I need to sell it.
Here are some photos of the setup...
I used one of my mini flash light. Its actually using 1 AAA battery. The other battery is dead and the other side is bypassed with a wire. The reason for 1 battery is having 2 (or 3) battery makes the laser too bright, its hard to align. 1 Battery is enough to see and align to the middle of the dot.
If you're close to radioshack, its pretty easy to modify and make a better looking one.
