If this is a jpt mopa, I'd expect a wider frequency range along with the ability to set the q-pulse width.. This should be in the device setting. Don't know which jpt you have... maybe it doesn't apply.. ? Nice video.... I sometimes think some of my equipment came with a gremlin... I think yours is scooting around the room :)

So you don't pre-process your Images using ImagR before importing in LightBurn? You import them directly into it ? Have you tried both options to see which one is best ?
@nerdysir144
@nerdysir144 6 ай бұрын
Depends on the image. High resolution with even lighting will usually work like a charm, but if it's grainy or low resolution, then you'll get bad results. Ideally you'd set the dpi to the same dpi as the image.

You emphasize that the power and speed remain the same for all your tests so therefore the colour of every line in your pattern must be the same. So why does increasing the LPI create a darker image? Can I suggest you drop your table by 4mm and run the test again. I think you may be surprised at the results.
@ZYairZ
@ZYairZ Жыл бұрын
Easy explanatiom: Draw a soft line with a pencil on a white paper. It is Light gray right?. Now Draw the same line over itself, it becomes darker. Is like the same here in Laser. The Laser burns the material to make a dark line, when you increase the number of pases that the laser would do, It would over burn the material and makes it darker and darker. Sorry for my english, hope you understand me
@nerdysir144

@SarbarMultimedia I'll do a video on that in the future. And it's less to do with how dark the image is and more about how the engraving has more resolution the higher you increase it. But at some point, enough is enough, and you might as well just increase the power to get a darker engraving. But, I'll try that and do a video on it.

This is a great little video that touches on a whole world of misunderstanding about laser damage to materials. . There is nothing wrong with the video it is a perfect demonstration of the tricks that our eyes play on us. Fiirst, with no power change the lines will all burn the same colour. When the line spacing is wide, your eyes can see the individual lines against the light background. As the LPI increases, depending on how far away you view the pattern, your eyes cannot focus on the individual lines. Instead, they create an AVERAGE mix of line colour and background colour to form a shade of brown. As you increase the LPI the "white" space between the lines gets less so your eye creates a darker AVERAGE shade of brown. Take a look at your lines with a magnifying glass to understand that your lines do not overburn until maybe 300 LPI. .Can I suggest you watch thi video that demonstrate.s the way that a laser beam is the master of deception . kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJKYkGmloLqsgck This LPI principle you demonstrate is perfect explanation of what happens in one axis only for vector engraving but it also happens in two axis (DPI) as you enter the world of dithered photo engraving. You will note that Lightburn limits your options if you import a bitmap The LPI and DPI are interlinked so you camnnot make a mistake. A simple example of how your eyes are fooled is that PC monitor in front of you. Take a 10x magnifier and look at the screen to see the detail that your eyes average out. This human weakness is the whole principle behind why digtal graphics works

@@ZYairZ Hi . There is nothing wrong with your English , it is 100% understandable. If you have a laser machine , write a simple program with a single line say 50mm long.. Burn that line on a piece of wood. Move the wood and now run that line program twice in the same spot. Move again and run the program 3 times Compare the colour of the 3 tests..I think you will see that your pencil explanation is not valid for laser burns.

this is a novel solution and is well presented, Although the idea of locking the plate to the bed is 100% correct for what you are trying to do, ther is no need to worry about magnets.There will always be faults in your plywood (usually air voids) that will prevent 100% clean cuts as you demonstrated. Just cut all your blanks first. Your honeycomb table has a raised frame around it , Take another piece of thinner material (even 3mm MDF) locate it into the corner of your honeycomb frame. Disable the engraving and line layers and cut the outer location shape/s ( with half moons as suggested by Jason that sit on top of the cut layer as a different layer) If you are trying to make the process as efficient as possible, then create two of these corner location templates so that you can engrave 4 and while that is happening you load the other template with 4 blanks. When the first 4 have completed you can quickly SLIDE them away from thr corner and slide the next 4 into the same perfect location, , Engrave all one side, swap the engraving program and repeat the process. Also you will significantly reduce your engraving time by scanning all 4 coaters at once By the way, I note that you are creating brown fume debris around your engravings which I suspect means a second sanding clean operation. If you wish to learn how to do clean engraving maybe take a look at this video. laseruser.com/the-concise-rdworks-learning-lab-19/. You will also learn another technique for making your scanning run twice as fast. I hope you see this commenet as a win,win, win and not anything negative. IF this turns into a serious business, the knowledge of how to run efficiently and fast wiill push the day you need to buy a second machine way into the future. Best wishes and good luck.
