The file linked is a power speed matrix I created for LightBurn. It is based upon an A4 sheet of paper ( x mm) and I used this file for finding the best power and speed setting for 3mm plywood. None of the components are grouped so you can click on any of the cut colours and adjust the speed Options. Speed Units. Power Settings. Output Max Power % (i.e 50% of a W laser = ~65W) Controller. If you are unsure, check lightburn and see if the min power settings in The Lightburn Software is probably the best generic laser cutting software available (I use it for almost all of my laser work). This series has LightBurn tutorials, hints and tips as This is a premade library of cutting speeds and power for various woods, plastics, and other materials. This setup works perfect for setup that include the Onefinity woodworker, journeyman, or machinist cnc, shapeoko 3 cnc, inventables xcarve cnc, and other hobby cnc machines and 3d printers. Download JTech 7w Library Here The laser has always struggled to cut 1/4 birch plywood. 1/8 has never been an issue and up to this point I just stayed away from 1/4 as much as possible but I would really like to start working with it. 1/8 cuts at 10mm/s at 43% power, both min and max power is set to the same number. 1/4 I tried to slow it down a bit more (8mm/s) and do 2 Apply settings like power, speed, number of passes, cut order, brightness & contrast, dithering mode, and many more!

Cut Settings - Image Mode - LightBurn Software Documentation
We’ve got you covered with speed and power suggestions for all popular laser machine materials. It’s important to remember that the below numbers are Cut Settings - Image Mode¶ This mode is only available for images, and lets you choose options to control how LightBurn renders the image data on the laser. The image above shows the settings available for images. CO2 lasers are typically run at low power, decreasing speed if needed to make a darker engraving. Diode lasers are often run at LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Ruida controllers. bmarino59 (Bob Marino) October 4, , pm 1. I have set my min and max power on my controller to 1% and 30% respectively. I have a 50W laser with a limit of 19mA. Setting at 30% keeps the laser from going over my limit. My question is this Alex (Alessio Foglietti) May 4, , pm 1. Would it be possible to change laser power and speed while engraving? Gregory (Gregory) May 4, , pm 2. Pretty sure those commands are part of the control code that has already been loaded to the controller, and you wouldn’t be able to change them mid burn with any controller Laser Cutter - Easy Speed and Power Tester using Lightburn.

I used the xtool infrared laser. speed 4mm/s power 90%. no etching compound needed, I just cleaned it with alcohol first, it came out quite nice and was a nice engraving in the brass. customer was very pleased. speed mm/sec power 80%. TammyMoore (Tammy Moore) May 25, , am Hi Jack, I use Rust Oleum LightBurn Tutorial: Power Scale - Customize Laser Cutting Efficiency — Eightify. TLDR The power scale feature in LightBurn allows users to override power settings for Set too low, the laser will not “fire” and will not mark/cut in the corners. The firing point is the ionization point of the glass tube. The bigger the tube, the higher this point, which is why some “heavy cutting” machines include a 2nd, smaller tube for engraving. LightBurn also uses the Min and Max range when using the ‘Power Scale Step 1: Lower the laser cutter bed to approx 2” below the nozzle. Step 2: Place a 12” x 2” piece of scrap 1/8” material on the bed and put something underneath one end to raise it so it just touches the nozzle tip. Step 3: Set the laser cutter power to 20% and the speed to mm/s on the Ruida control panel LightBurn Software Questions Tips and Tricks. BWilson (Wilson) March 5, , am 1. Dear community, Can someone make a speed and power chart for The main thing is that this value is the same both in the controller settings and in the LightBurn settings, otherwise, when setting % power, the laser can work, for example, at 60% (in general, not at the power that was set).. This is checked and corrected as follows: Naturally, everything is done with the connected machine. Open the controller
