Very weak laser

[Hoppie (Ian Hopkins)]

Hello everyone,

I have been looking on the forum but could not find anything about this. Do have to say, I’m not good at this stuff. Didn’t see an introduction page, so here we go.

I’m Ian, 40 years old and life in Holland. I just bought myself a sculpfun s30 pro max 20 watt laser and installed the trial version of Light burn.

My problem is for some reason I can’t get the laser to go full blast. It’s so bad that it won’t even leaf a mark. Using lasergrbl no issue, a room full of smoke. So I tried looking it up on YouTube and here could only find to type $$ and look at $$30 that’s all up to 1000 and in device settings too. What am I doing wrong, any tips???

If I’m in the wrong part of the forum and someone already has something up of this, I’m really sorry.

Regards,

Ian Hopkins

Make sure your lightburn is running in mm/min and not mm/sec
Edit > settings

And maybe post a image of your settings so we can take a look?

Green good setting, Red wrong one for diode.
