Hi all, I recently received a 3040 laser cutter/engraver and i'm just trying to get use to using it, and getting it to run correctly.
I have aligned the mirrors as best i can (took me hours) and have managed to cut some cereal packet card with power=5, speed=35. Had a few problems with the card setting alight, but i think i've figured it out, do these settings sound alright?
Now i'm trying to cut 3mm acylic. Can anybody let me know what power and speed settings they use for this? I jus can't seem to figure it out. When i get it to cut right through, the edges are kind of melted and not good.
The other thing i'm worried about is that occasionally when i try to cut, there will be one line as expected, and then another fainter line engraved about 5mm away from it, anyone know what might be causing this?
I am completely new to all this, so any hints and tips are welcome!
Thanks guys.
