Good day again:
I am still so confused and now frustrated, The laser burns properly in any application other than Lightburn. I keep reading to either slow down or speed up laser, as well as speed and burn are related in the 3018.
Last reply on my prior post was more a critique then help. I am very new at this and may be missing easy steps etc SORRY. Feel dumb enough without it being pointed out.
So I need help that almost walks me through the steps (Thank you)
What is a good starting point and where do you set it
here are my present setting for GRBL
$0=10
$1=25
$2=0
$3=6
$4=0
$5=0
$6=0
$10=1
$11=0.010
$12=0.002
$13=0
$20=0
$21=0
$22=0
$23=3
$24=25.000
$25=500.000
$26=250
$27=1.000
$30=1000
$31=0
$32=1
$100=800.000
$101=84.000
$102=800.000
$110=1000.000
$111=2000.000
$112=600.000
$120=30.000
$121=30.000
$122=30.000
$130=200.000
$131=200.000
$132=200.0
I tried changing the setting in $110/111 to 500-800 with no change
Thanks in advance for your desperately needed help
since post realized can click on speed/Pwr in layers to change speed lowered from 500 to 180 and working up. burned paper/wood at 350mm/min but still won’t burn through 1 layer paint. Even tried multi pass (4) with no luck,(yes laser focused) Starting to wonder if laser that came with 3018 to weak to do what I want,(5500mW laser).
If anybody agrees that my laser is to weak do you have any suggestions for reasonably priced plug and use upgrade.
Thanks again
