Hope someone can help me, as I’m at my wits’ end!
I thought I had this thing finally figured out, I’ve done a bunch of tiny square cuts with engraved patterns as tests this afternoon, trying to optimise the power/speed settings, and I’m satisfied and ready to cut my piece.
I’ve triple checked everything, the settings are perfect. The laser is focused. So why is the Trotec just whizzing back and forth over my plywood as if it’s engraving (when it’s not) and then stopping as if it’s finished the whole job. It doesn’t even do the cutting portion after ‘engraving’.
Maybe I’m just paranoid, but it looks to me like the job preview is super pixelated (see below.) Is that normal? Or is JobControl not considering my objects as suitable for cutting somehow?
Any ideas would be appreciated! I’ve been here for hours and I’m going home empty handed… again.
Also: Where can I find a more comprehensive list of recommended material settings? If there’s something readily available here or on the internet, I’m not finding it.
