I’ve watched several tutorials regarding depth map and settings to cut into brass. For several days now I’m not getting anywhere close to the results I’m seeing in these tutorials. Here are the specs I have:
30W - Raycus Galvo - RC7110-ASYA head - 175mm lens - Current setup in LightBurn as JCZFiber (USB)
I’ve got what I believe is the correct depth map resolution images, using 3D Sliced mode and several configuration schemes that should get me a preview or some reasonable image burn. I can’t even see a preview that’s even showing what should be what’s loaded into the grid.
My question is, if I setup the laser in LightBurn with a different scheme, that includes pulses, would that work?
These are pulse machines… I’m not totally following you.
Since you don’t have a MOPA you have to work with power and speed. I think there is limited frequency adjustments with the non-MOPA Raycus.
What kind of results are you getting? Do you have a photo?
Might try this link to Reddit on setting up a Raycus.. I think the first entry is about engraving with a 20W Raycus.
When using a pass count for 3d Slice, a value of anything other than 256 passes - you need to understand how 3d Slice works. In other words, I don’t recommend using something like 1000 passes, but I don’t have the same machine.
When you do a lot of passes, the preview can be more difficult to understand. Generally speaking you have to use the slider to look at specific parts of the image.
What I meant by adding a “pulse” option is the setup LightBurn has does not show or provide a pulse setting, commonly seen in MOPA vids I’ve viewed.
I realized now that the preview will not work to show me a final result. For some reason it’s coming up all white when running that. My problem was I fired several samples to no success. Instead of continuing on with blowing through stock, I was relying on the preview to show success or failure.
The Reddit link you provided was of good help. As a result, the settings of 1500mm/s, Pass count - 256, line interval 0.0751, Power 90%, and Frequency of 20 is working at this time.
Assume this is mm? The F160mm lens I have computes as to it’s spot size being ~26 microns (0.026mm). I wonder how wise it is to use an interval that is three times the spot size? Are you focused?
Lightburn won’t show any options that don’t exist. Sometimes they are not grayed out, they are just missing. This is pretty smart of the Lightburn developers. On a non-MOPA type the frequency and q-pulse width are not always available. Frequency controls pulses/s.
One of the reasons I picked that thread was that it was a non-MOPA type. Doesn’t matter a lot about what we say, you need to get the results you expect, whatever works … so take these as suggestions.
Glad to hear you’re having some success..
