HI, How do you program the machine to cut or engrave letter by letter and not from side to side from top to bottom

[@TinC33]

You need a dxf or nc file of the letter or whole word

[@frankhovis]

8:13 - Screen says "2000x2000 pixels, 150x150mm", which works out to be about 350DPI. That doesn't seem very high for a laser considering how small the spot can be. Is that a limit of the software or the machine?

[@TinC33]

True that mean that the size of a pixel is 0,075mm, pixels can bee seen if we check closely but for basic use i think it's just enough, is it hardware or software limitation i don't know. I just montage video about ortur laser (come in a few days) it work much better because of 32bit board, but the laser modul and software is much better on NEJE.

to CUT material all you have to do is increase burning time and power ? and to engrave decrease burning time? its only a matter of burning time between CUT and engrave ?

Teach me a little bit please .

[@TinC33]

@@M4R10_ Laser power is power laser work with, you can get that settings all the time on 100% (except in some cases, tell on end) burning time is actually speed of stepper motor, spped of engraving, speed of cutting... That tell us howmany time laser burn each spot before move to another, if you set to a few ms entire laser moving so fast that it only leave a burning trace behind (engraving) if you set that settings to high, laser move really slowly, so it got time to burn each spot befor moving to next one, so in that time it's burn the material that much that it actually cut them (cuting). The power of laser you need to decrease only in case when you want to engrave on something like paper, if you set it too fast like 2-5ms, laser become that fast that the image was not clear, you can see the vibration on them, well if you decrease speed it go slowly, there will be no vibrations, but the laser will burn the paper in that time not only engrave, well in that case you need to decrease as laser power as speed.

i tell you just try, try and play with different settings, you got nothing to do wrong until you got protective wood under the working area, and safte glasses on your nose.

If you buy 20W complete laser machine not only the modul, than should be there already 3A power supply. you got nothing to fail here, if you use 2A laser maybe stop working sometimes during work with full power, if that happend you know you need to buy new PS for a few $.

Hello, yes i got this problem but really small, so i don't got a problem with that, but if you want to fix, just increase the hole threw the acrylic (where is the screw for the wheel) with a file a bit, so you can tighten wheel closer to the rail, that's the simpiest solution, propper solution will be excentered screw, but don't see need to make this mod.

It does not cut through acrylic. It can only engrave it. You’ll need a CO2 laser to cut acrylic.

This kind of "diode laser" is only for soft materiall luke wood, paper, leather... It can't engrave metal and nonferous material like aluminium, steel... You can only dream about cutting them. For that kind you'll need co2 laser or fiber laser but they cost much much more.

[@TinC33]

No to engrave steel or aluminium you need much more expencive fiber laser, that one is diode laser only for soft materiall.

[@albertfussi4102]

It works quite well with anodized aluminium. I do a lot of engraving on that. Very good results, but you need to increase the burning time e.g. to 40 or 60 ms, what makes the whole process a bit "slow". For Stainless Steel I also do, but with limited results. I mark the area with a black Whiteboard Marker, then engrave with 2 rounds of 60 or 80 ms and it is quite good. Also on some other material like Acrylic, what you do ist first mark out all the area with black whiteboard marker, then engrave over it, the black color enables you to engrave. Good luck, always try on a sample material first ;)

[@TinC33]

The Black Marker is to blacken transparent materials...like plastic, so the laser has something to actually cut into... and after engraving you can wipe it off. Look it up. that's why you didn't cut/engrave the transparent plastic. This is pretty basic knowledge IMHO...

In masic, ortur is much better, becuase it work on 32bit it really much much faster than neje but still more accurete at it's speed as neje, but there is problem that free software (laser grbl) is almost useless, because it doesn't support cad files for cutting, lightburn is good software but cost $40. Neje got awesome free software, i like it more than lightburn, because it's perfectly simple and offer us everything we need, when you put engraver to a table, connect to pc, and after a minute it will engrave, lightburn need a bit more setup... so neje software is great and also laser moduls is better by my experience, i maybe got "not perfect" one from the ortur, because it got focus issue, but on ortur say, it's ok, and every their laser got elyptic laser dot. so i think neje is better. Than power, 3.5w is far the best for grayscale engrave, but for cutting 20W is best. i know it's hard to choose, but think what you use more, booth can engrave grayscale or cutting, but got better grayscale engrave result with 3.5 and deeper cutting with 20W, so it's up on you, if you mean to take booth, take 20w master and than just buy 3,5w laser modul wich is cheap i think about $40. If you got nothink, i will buy neje, because it's better for grayscale and got great software, if you want more precise engrave simply lower down the engraving speed and laser power, so it will work slower with same effect. if you plan to make some small series, than deffinitly take ortur, because it's realy much faster (if i remeber it's 4-5 times faster then neje) Hope to help you, if you buy some of them, please use link from the video ;)
