why is my laser only firing at slow speeds? I have tried several different max/min powers and speeds and my laser only fires when i have speeds lower than 5mm/s. I have a 3018 with a small blue laser…either 5W or 0.5W not sure.
just trying to cut some yellow manila folder cardstock
5mm per second is 300mm/min
If you exceed the Maximum rate (speed) the controller will reduce power accordingly.
You can see and review the settings in the Console window in LightBurn.

Copy and paste that report into a reply here if you’re interested in knowing more about those settings.
