Re: Not Engraving

Got it working. Unticked the 'light guide plate' box in engrave settings and now engraving ok. That's the wife happy now. :). Thanks for all your suggestions Dave.

Hi from Traceym's husband 'blackpug'

You'll probably see more posts from me as I've been on VW ,Peugeot and Cocker Spaniel forums for years and know my way about them. This is the first forum my wife has been on so be gentle with her. We recently got a LS3040 laser cutter. Be prepared for loads of questions.

Re: Not Engraving

Scan gap 0.05. Tried at speeds between 50 and 200. Power between 20 and 50. I think it's something we've done in lasercut software as machine was engraving a few days ago. Tried on perspex and ply.

Re: Not Engraving

We tried to engrave the word 'and'. It moves as if engraving but most of the word is missing. It was engraving a few days ago. Don't know what we've done.

Not Engraving

Hi. Just got the LS3040 last week and suddenly it's not engraving. Cutting is fine tho'. Tried different speeds and power settings but no joy. What am I doing wrong?

MDF

Hi. New to laser cutting. Can I use 6mm mdf from B&Q or do I have to use a certain type of mdf? Thanks in advance.
