To achieve the best results with your laser engraver, several key settings should be adjusted based on the material you are working with:

• Power: The power setting determines the depth of the engraving or cutting. For engraving wood, a power setting between 30% and 60% is generally effective. For cutting, you may need 70% to 100% power, depending on the material thickness.
• Speed: The engraving speed affects the resolution and burn depth. Slower speeds (20-100 mm/s) allow for more detail, while faster speeds (100-300 mm/s) are suitable for cutting through thinner materials.
• DPI (Dots Per Inch): A higher DPI (usually 300-600) provides finer detail in engravings, while lower DPI settings can be used for quicker jobs where detail is less critical.
• Focus: Make sure the laser is properly focused for the material thickness. A well-focused beam creates a cleaner cut and more defined engraving.
• Material-specific settings: Always refer to manufacturer guidelines for specific materials, as different materials (acrylic, leather, glass) may require unique adjustments.

Experiment with these settings to find the optimal combination for your specific projects!
