I’m looking for some good guides, describing settings used in common materials.
This is mostly, Titanium, Stainless steel, Steel and acrylic. Also using a rotary axle.
Does anyone have a good place to start, regarding speeds, frequency, power ect.
thanks in advance.
Besides the Russ Sadler videos of how it works internally and some examples, I think the best general collection of videos is from the laser everything group.
This should also help … they used to charge for these… in their masters academy.
Forget acrylic… passes right through…
Have fun
Perfect Thank you. Regarding the rotary Axle. Is there a good way to calibrate this. When using lightburn, it jitters a lot, with some overlap, unessasary rotation. And also the speed. But gets the job done.
There really isn’t much to do with a chuck type rotary. The motor driver is set to a specific steps/rotation and the software can’t change that. That’s one of the things you have to tell it.
Unless you have a gear ratio from the motor to the chuck. It’s all digital, so it’s more likely to work than work poorly.
What I found with mine, was that the split size needs to be a multiple of the interval. That seems to help on mine.
I wrap my objects in black masking tape and run the job at low power to mark only the tape… when it’s right I run the job at the right power.
Might want to elaborate on the type of erratic movement you are experiencing… I too have had it to strange movements, but I think I don’t know enough about it.
Try this with your fiber – worth a watch 
Found another video, I’ve configured the overlap and the movement incorrectly to my needs, this explains the weird movements. 
Did it fix it?
It Helped. I’ve found out, that the overlap does fix the ragged movement. And the Hatching settings can be altered to fit my needs better. It’s a learning curve, but it’s so much better than the Ez cad crappy software
