would like to no if these settings or right as my laser is burring just on carboard don’t seem to be getting full power here is the code
$0=10
$1=25
$2=0
$3=6
$4=0
$5=1
$6=0
$10=2
$11=0.010
$12=0.002
$13=0
$20=0
$21=1
$22=1
$23=4
$24=25.000
$25=500.000
$26=225
$27=1.000
$30=1000
$31=0
$32=1
$100=800.000
$101=800.000
$102=800.000
$110=1000.000
$111=1000.000
$112=500.000
$120=30.000
$121=30.000
$122=30.000
$130=500.000
$131=500.000
$132=800.000
ok
Try reducing speed or increasing power in your cut setting.
got 90% max power and speed 50mm/sec
What’s the output wattage of your laser module? 50 mm/sec (3000 mm/min) could still be quite high. Try lowering down below 500 mm/min.
its 700mm 7w
Did you mean 700nm? As in the wavelength? Does it produce a red light?
Do you have a link to anything that describes the particular model? Not sure what kind of engraving you’ll be able to do with a 700nm laser.
sorry its a 450nm output power 700w(7w)
and it as a blue light
I’ll assume you meant 7000mW(7W). If not, correct me as the guidance will be different. If this is truly a 7W output you should easily be seeing markings on cardboard at 90% power at even 3000 mm/min.
Try running a powerscale test:
Can you send a photo of the result?
it only seems to burn some thing on the carboard at 30.0 mm/sec
im doing some thing wrong
Are you sure it’s focused properly?
That’s still fairly fast. Did you have a chance to run the test pattern? That will take out a lot of guess work from this.
ye i thing there must be some thing wrong with my settings i am new to all this
Does this mean yes it’s focused or?
Focus is part of settings…
where is the settings for that thanks
i did ye don’t seem to be doing any thing
Please take a photo of the results of the test pattern and post here. Dramatically lower the speed settings if you need.
Also, generally for diode lasers speeds are referenced in mm/min rather than mm/s. This is done because speeds are slower for diode lasers.
James Dean has a good video on setup with the CNC3018. Might take a few and follow it. See if it clears things up a bit.
add watch of the video add pay with the laser set to speed mm/min put 1000 in seeing the text on the mdf just about burns it set to 600 and it did engraved in to the wood
