I just bought a Neje Master 2/2S Max, 30W system… Neje suggested that I use Lightburn… From everything I’ve seen online, I agree… However… I’m trying to make pieces for a board game, that I created and am selling… I am trying to etch and cut coins from 2mm Birch plywood, and Terrain Tiles (for the…

Oh yeah, try the settings I listed above. Most people use the “00” as the “cut” tab and keep it as that for ease of use. Try 10mm/sec and 100% power for cutting with at least 6 passes to see if it cuts. Definitely get air assist. Air assist helps cut and cleans the part.

First of all you are using mm/sec that is better for CO2 lasers, for a diode, like you say you have, is better mm/min, then your 30W is a 7.5W in out and you are trying to cut in one pass at 2400mm/min at 70%power a 3mm birch plywood. With my Neje i cut 3mm at 600mm/min 100% power in 2 passes, or 85…

Are you saying that Neje lied to me about the power of my laser? 30W is only 7.5W? How do you set it to work in Minutes? Mine only shows in seconds… I’m gathering that my problem may be with not having air assist… I ordered that last night… I can’t get this to cut all the way through the material…

[image] Skipp: Are you saying that Neje lied to me about the power of my laser? 30W is only 7.5W? 30 watts in is only about 4 watts out. I have a 50 watt and it only puts out about 5.5 watts maybe. They aren’t lying to you, that’s how they rate them. [image] Skipp: How do you set it to w…

I know that at the moment, I seem like a simpleton… But I am actually a mechanical engineer… I’ve designed clean-room equipment, that is cut from either PVC-C plastics, or 302/304 Stainless Steel (on much larger lasers… But I am at a loss on this one… I did get it to switch to mm/min… It’s in the…

did you know what module is? https://wiki.nejetool.com/doku.php?id=m_fo look at this

It doesn’t actually say anywhere on it, or on any of the documentation that they sent me… However, the website states that the gantry that I bought comes with a 7.5W module… So, I don’t know how many 7.5W modules that they make, to be able to determine which one it is… Sorry…

The module does look like the A40630, though… If that helps…

If is really the A40630 is equal to mine and i CAN cut 3mm plywood birch in 2 passes at 600mm/min 100% power with air assist. I can even cut Solid wood 7.5mm thin in 10 passes at 160mm/min so, maybe your problem is the focus, have you seen the wiki?
