Love the fact that you share your settings right away...unlike so many other that show their projects, but dont share settings with other laser heads newbies...thank you so much!!
Wish someone could tell me why my 30 & 60 watt lasers do not like engraving aluminum... I have tried and tried different settings and nothing, looks like it makes the surface clean but that is about it. I do not get any type of depth to it. I can seem to cut lowers but that is only because of the black finish, it also does not like brass either.
You set the number of passes (and angles, patterns, etc) manually in the hatch settings. I think I talked aout this quite a bit more in my video on hatching. Check it out if you're interested.
It's been a while since I made this video but I think most of my grids are 25Khz unless it's specifically a grid to adjust frequency. I made another video where I talk in detail about the grids and also make them available for download if you want to check it out.
Like co2, hatch matters but it takes ages for a galvo. In co2 it’s called interval. Because i may buy one i realized the more power i can afford i will go for it to reduce scanning time. Your results may change if you put a 50 focal length lens because the resolution will be much tighter and you not have to reduce so much hatch. So, a 50w machine with 2 or 3 different lenses could be a good starting point. I own already a 100w co2 for 3 years now so i understand much quicker how fiber work or what it requires. Also a nice upgrade would be to replace the height wheel with a motor driven one with a smooth step of movement. Do you agree?
Great videos .I am trying to get depth so it can be paint filled. Only needs to be up to .3mm deep. Trying everything but no success, do you know how to get depth in it? Thanks
Sounds good, Ive only played with the software a bit when I looked at my father's laser. Mine should be here this week and I'll get cracking at it. Do you also do grids for frequency?
I still don't have a good handle on the effect that frequency has on the mark. I've usually just left it at the default 20kHz. How would you explain the impact of frequency changes to the appearance of a mark? Or what is the impact of different frequencies on deep engraving? Have to do a bunch of testing, just haven't gotten around to it. I've got a maxphotonics 20w smart laser system, which uses what looks to be a custom skin of ezcad. not sure if the files are compatible between ezcad and this version. I'd assume so.
Can someone tell me if they wear safety glasses for this machine? I have the same one but I'm scared to use it without the right protection. Thank you in advance.
@@hafsa1106 depends on your laser wavelength. If its a fiber IR laser its likely 1064nm. I like FreeMascot. These are the ones i have. They make different ones for different laser wavelengths.

I make simple vector images, but they're mostly boring and for industrial products. I download the fancy ones like the dragon used in this video, but I may make a video on one of my simple projects anyway in the near future.
JefferyJ thank you for your reply. I am an amateur/novice so I cannot make half of what you can do. Googling isn’t that helpful with finding vectors. Any guidance would be very helpful. And I think you do a fantastic job and and I am amazed with your knowledge. Thank you

hm is this fiber laser?
Very helpful videos, can you please suggest hatch & parameters setting for PAD PRINTING die.?
Would you happen to know how to mark black on gold stanless steel
Good video, may i ask, 6.31 how u set the chat? Can 1 time do different power & speed

I have the same issue. I think the laser is under powered. RAYCUS 30w from chinacnczone. Great for cleaning paint but not for engraving.
Have you found a way to effectively engrave aluminum and brass?
@@avexoidavex3577 Yes, it is all in the settings, I would have to go to the store and get the settings I use.
How do you stop the laser going back over the finished black mark and turning it into white??
You set the number of passes (and angles, patterns, etc) manually in the hatch settings. I think I talked aout this quite a bit more in my video on hatching. Check it out if you're interested.
Might I know if I can have access to all the parameters of your Marking Programs to test them too?
Many thanks
Do you have a publically available spreadsheet with all these settings?
Your field lense is 300mm?
What frequency can using for a pad printing plate ?Please
What frequency where you using when making the grid at the end? Also, which hatch marks are which?

Have you ever engraved on wood? If yes what settings do you use for that? I seem to keep setting the wood on fire.
CO2 will work much better on wood as they operate on different wavelengths.
very informative
Great videos .I am trying to get depth so it can be paint filled. Only needs to be up to .3mm deep. Trying everything but no success, do you know how to get depth in it? Thanks
High power, low frequency, multiple passes, autorotating hatch angle....and throw in a clean up pass every now and then. It will just take time.
JefferyJ thanks for reply. Much appreciated.
Great video. Did you find that grid somewhere available for download? I could see where that would be useful.
the grid is easy to make in the software, just takes some time to make it.
Sounds good, Ive only played with the software a bit when I looked at my father's laser. Mine should be here this week and I'll get cracking at it. Do you also do grids for frequency?
Yeah, it's easy to make, just time consuming. I haven't yet made a grid for frequency so all these marks are at 25khz.

Thanks, keep posting. Not sure what angle means.

How many watts is the laser?
20w

Can you send settings for second drigon ?
It should be written on the stainless during the video...I don't have anything more than that saved.
@@jefferyj ok problem, keep posting such helpful videos it's helps a lot ...
Nice job, but sparks = rust.
