Thanks for the mention, more to come now that I am back from vacation.
Thanks also to those who have donated $$ so that I can fund the research work!

I would also add thanks to the LightBurn team for such an easy to use software product.

and … the K40 Whisperer for the first stock compatible software.

This is a fun, productive and knowledgeable community!

It has been an amazing ride, I have gone from a total newbie who was having trouble with his K40, to someone that can answer most any question. Like @donkjr , I would like to thank all those who donate $ for research and development, as well as all the members who have contributed to the knowledge base. A few years ago the K40 was a really poor way to enter the hobby, and now the much maligned K40 can now hang with machines 10-20 times it price with a little time and money in upgrades. Kudos to @StephaneBUISSON for starting this G+ group!
