Hi there
im fairly new to laser engraving and got the snapmaker a350 as i did not know what i would enjoy more 3d printing or laser engraving.
so i have a 10w laser that can feed at 6000mmpm however i go to do some engravings and it is clearly not this fast it seems to stop and start on each moment. to engrave a 100mmx100mm coaster it takes around 6 hours i have seen other peoples work travailing at a slower speed complete a job of the same size and detail in 1 1/2 hours.
i have looked over the internet for a solution and got part of one, in light burn i edit my snapmaker and use the Marlin control. and then i got to device settings and turn on laser control Inline.
i then send a job to the machine and run it the feed is great- faster then i have ever seen the machine go but the laser itself will not fire so i done engrave anything.
i am hoping bigger brains then mine know how to help
below is part of code for snampaker that takes around 6 hours below that is the inline code
