Really starting to dislike my Gweike. I print the same file on the same type of wood (home Depot 1/8” sanded plywood). The engravings are consistent. The last step is cutting out the shape. See attached screenshot of settings. It cuts through about 40% of the time. I’m trying to mass-produce so…

It is not kosher to have multiple posts with the same question. It wastes peoples time addressing the same issue in multiple places… Maybe @JohnJohn can fix it … https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/trying-to-setup-my-clear-on-a-gweike-cloud-pro/87062/39 Start a new thread… it’s hard to find an…

Oh… So sorry! I am unfamiliar with this forum software. I thought that I was communicating in one through a private message. My bad. Of course, that is bad etiquette.! :frowning:

I’m quite grateful for this happy accident. It makes a natural break to append the end of the previous thread as the subject changed… Thanks!

I’m getting terrible results cutting. 1/8" sanded plywood. Sometimes it cuts all the way through. More times it does not penetrate at all. These are the settings I used.` Seems like it should be easy. [2023-02-12_20-57-19]

Isn’t the above setting slow? I did find the old-school workaround. Turn it off and back on. Works fine :slight_smile:

Turn it off. Turn it back on. It works. fine. Settings are not the issue. Maybe the next firmware update?

Either I have overlooked it or you have not stated how many Watts your machine is on. What does your 90% correspond to? Your speed, 5mm/sec, to cut 3.2mm plywood?? Either your focus is not ok or you have a problem with your tube.

Thank you so much! I got a Gweike Cloud. It is a 50-watt C02 laser. Gweike has made industrial lasers for 18 years and this is their first consumer laser. They obviously are not accustomed to selling products to mend-users. Since it first shipped, owners have noticed that Gweike changes component…

Is there a (milli)Ammeter installed in your machine, if so, how many mA does it show at 50% power setting in LightBurn?
