75 watt epilog laser cutter
workable materials
- Laserable materials: http://www.epiloglaser.com/laserable_materials.htm
- for plastics:
Material size
- 18" by 24" (aka 45.72cm x 60.96cm)
eliminate the "fog" around things
Alexander's calgary flames had a fog around them - why? when looking how to print from Inkscape I found some info about this... some people called it a "halo"; didn't find out what the solution is.
Materials/Speed/Power settings
Is there a test pattern that deals with the diff power settings automatically?
- 65/5/500 works for white and brown paper
- little more oomph, I had to separate some spots manually, but they may have been out of focus
- Styrene "use low frequency like 30 but high speed"
- 10sp 30pw 40fr worked; could prob go faster
