I am currently trying to get a photo of our dog engraved. I was using the Image mode with both Dithering and Greyscale, the outcome seems to be lacking however.
I am using a Sculpfun S9, the speed and power is set to 1200/100.Is there any way for me to improve this? Thank you
Top quality images require a lot of testing and adjustment…of the machine, the settings, and the image itself.
Settle for a week of school…this is gonna take some time…
Stop trying to burn a complete piece until you’re pretty confident you have something that will work. No point wasting the time or material. Scale it back to a little gradient. My test gradients are 5mmx50mm and easily twice as big as I need.
Should read, "images require a LOT of testing and adjustment. I just spent 5+ hours on a 45 minute image burn, and was still not satisfied. I have had luck with Greyscale only. Jarvis and Stucki require more patience than I have. They are not kidding when they say images are the hardest thing to do on a laser. But I have seen some stunning examples from diode lasers, so I know it is possible.
