I see what your saying. The laser has an integrated air assist and I’m pumping 30L/min through it. When I get the enclosure set up, I’ll be adding 300cfm of extraction to that too.
Also- I’ll be painting anything that comes off for production.
Am having an issue in that I can’t seem to cut 6.75mm in anything less than 7 passes at 180mm/min.
That’s way below the advertised spec of 13mm, 200mm/min 3 passes. Of course- this is ‘laser ply’ and not ‘spruce wood’ that they cut at that speed.
I’ve been messing with focus distance, varying speed (more passes at higher speed Vs slower and fewer)
Cutting 3.25mm in 2 passes at 180mm/min, 100%, which was expected.
Will have to do a proper focus ramp test - but you don’t get a lot of room to play with a recommended 5mm focal distance- and a calibration series to see what works best. Since i have control over the Z, I may also look into how lightburn handles that aspect.
