Precision Vs Full Power The laser tube produces varying amounts of power.Higher power produces deeper engraves, cuts, and scores, but also produces less-detailed engraves, as the laser can damage the surrounding area. Power controls the maximum amount of energy used by the laser while printing. "Print speed" refers to how quickly your print will complete "engrave depth" refers to the depth of your engraves and scores and "print resolution" refers to the level of detail achievable. Three symbols offer a quick visual reference for each parameter's effects.
Gradually increase the power until you get the desired result. Some materials can behave unpredictably, and it’s important to proceed with caution.īelow we've provided a description of the parameters, what they do, and how they affect your print results. If you're trying a new material, run a small test print first, at minimum power. You can use manual settings with Proofgrade ® materials for custom effects, or with your own materials.
Follow all instructions in the Glowforge user manual carefully and never print with your laser unattended. Using custom settings increases the risk of fire or damage to your Glowforge. Take special caution when working in manual mode. Either way, be ready to experiment, and be sure to check the community forum for tips and tricks. You can also choose a material in the App and modify the settings for your specific need. Creating a new setting from scratch might mean defining up to eight (8) different parameters. That said, manual mode can get complicated. Using it successfully can give you precise control over the speed of a print, the depth of an engrave, the level of detail, and sometimes even the colors produced.
