M1 XTool settings ?

[@amortocreatecrafts]

I used 90/30/ 100lpm with my xTool M1 10 W. Have fun!

Great project! I’m surprised you didn’t get any flash back. No link No description??

[@amortocreatecrafts]

Hi, with correct settings, I don't get flashbacks. What machine do you have? I just added the Vista settings in the description. Thanks for watching

[@kiaravasquez6226]

Hello! I have the xtool p2. Do you have the settings? Thank you

[@amortocreatecrafts]

Yes I have the settings but haven't try this year. Check this (test first) 26p, 250s. lcm300

I just got a WeCreat Vista 10W. For the 90/30 which is the speed? I know the line density but just want to make sure I do the 90/30 correctly.

[@amortocreatecrafts]

HI, thank you for your question and contrats on your new adventure with the Vista. 90 is the power. :)

[@anthonyortiz3856]

Thank you! So 30 is the speed?

[@amortocreatecrafts]

@@anthonyortiz3856 90 power 30 speed 100 line density. thanks for asking! :)

My mirror ended up moving while engraving so it did not work right. The mirror is thin so not sure if doing 1mm was right for the measurement. Should I use 3mm even though it is a thinner mirror?

@@anthonyortiz3856 Hi, Are you using the Vista laser? If so, did you autofocus correctly by placing the material exactly under the light? Another reason might be selecting a material with different thickness after autofocusing. The final reason might be that the mirror is too light and the air assist moved it. If so, try to tape the mirror prior engraving. Keep me posted.
