Material test results

I’m trying to do a material test but something isn’t right. I haven’t changed any of the settings that were set when I selected the test. Here is what my test looks like.

What do you mean by “any of the settings that were set”? None of the settings are set to anything by default, unless you chose a specific preset.

If you didn’t change anything, it pulls the initial settings from your black layer for the engraving part, and it looks like yours was set to an interval of 0.024 inches, which is quite large. It’s the same as 0.61mm, which is about 6x what the LightBurn default is.


Here are the current settings what should they be?

Without knowing a single thing about your laser, the material you’re testing, or what you’re trying to test, I couldn’t possibly say.

Those settings at least look closer to normal than what you had before.

If you click “Reset to default” at the bottom of that window it’ll set that layer to our “internal” defaults, which turns off anything special, and sets the speed to 100mm/sec, power to 20%, and interval to 0.1mm (but it’ll also change it to a Line layer).

If you’re looking for engraving settings, change it back to Fill and run it like that to see what works.
