Help with Engraving Pictures
Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2016 9:30 pm
So I just got the X7 DSP controller upgrade. I am loving how easy it is to upload stuff with the screen. Only issue I am having right now is with engraving pictures. I ordered a new lens with a smaller focus point, but I am still having issue with it cutting right. Below is an example of what I mean. The picture is from a tutorial about converting picture to be laser cut. I followed everything but yet the results with the same setup and "what I think are the" same setting look nothing really like what the person posted. I think there is a setting or tweak or tip I am missing. I am also having issue with other pictures that I will post later where the DSP's screen shows a black line (like an outline for the character) in the engraving but only gives it like 5% power when cutting the black line so all you see on the wood is a small line that is not even dark at all. Even when I change the power it does not seem to make much of a difference. The picture attached is the one I made.
The Guide I followed: http://www.instructables.com/id/Prepare ... engraving/
Picture of the one that they did that was the same settings as mine: https://cdn.instructables.com/FJC/83MI/ ... .LARGE.jpg
If anyone can share any tips or tricks or guides it would really be appreciated anything helps I mainly did the upgrade to do photo engraving.
