If you were to engrave the logo starting at 0x and 0y then the logo will be engraved to the top left of your timber like this :. Raster Engrave: The Raster Engrave function only receives raster data, so this will only control the speed of the x-axis.
Vector Engrave : Vector engrave moves the x and y-axis simultaneously, this is the combined speed number for both x and y-axis. Vector Cut: Vector Cut moves the x and y-axis simultaneously — this is the combined speed number for both x and y-axis. The button above will engrave your file at the designated speed. In this case, the laser will move on the x-axis only, covering mm per second. The Raster Engrave button will engrave all the content or image space that contains the color black Hexadecimal for black.
The Raster Engrave function receives image data using either bitmaps or vector data. Unlike Vector Engrave or Vector Cut, the Raster Engrave functions more like a printer, moving back and forward over the x-axis, only firing the laser when it is required.
This process is much slower than Vector engrave and Vector Cut, as there could be a substantial time in between laser fires if the image has a lot of whitespace.
Raster Engrave cuts are recommended for most applications. In this case, the laser will move on the x and y-axis, covering 20mm per second. Enables the vector engrave function.
All vector items within your. SVG file that are exactly blue ff Hexadecimal for blue , will be engraved at the current setting on the laser your laser engraver. The button above will Vector Cut your file at the designated speed.
In this case, the laser will move on the x and y-axis, covering 10mm per second. Enables the Vector Cut function. All vector item within your.
This function should be generally used to cut through your material after the raster and vector cuts have completed. Stops the current engrave Note: This may take some time if laser data has already been sent to the machine. We are using a 5-gallon bucket with a lid for our reservoir and have, for the time being, retained the water pump that was included with the engraver. It is not very robust so we are looking for a more suitable replacement.
Distilled water should always be used as it is less electrically conductive than tap water. You also need to be very careful of the additives you choose to address freezing and algae. There is a secret recipe and lots of other great info on coolants and additives HERE.
And more on cooling systems HERE. Often times there will be a large bubble at the top of the tube near the outlet. We plumbed it in series with the OUTlet tube feeding back to the reservoir so we have a more accurate measurement of the coolant temperature inside the laser tube and not the ambient temperature of the reservoir.
Any smoke, fumes, etc… generated by the lasing process is dangerous. Some materials will give off poisonous gasses and WILL kill you. These fumes can also corrode the metal and electrical connections of your machine. They will kill you and your machine. There are more materials that should not be lased. This will be covered in greater detail in my article on General Safety.
The exhaust system provided is not adequate and needs to be modified. The logic behind this method is simple. Even if there is a leak in the ductwork there is negative pressure vacuum all the way outside so the fumes and smoke will be evacuated.
If the fan is inside and the exhaust side duct leaks it will pump the smoke and fumes back into your work area. If you have the option to mount the fan outside I would do so. We used an adapter made for woodworking dust collection systems that fits almost perfectly in the factory slot.
You may wish to screw it in place or add some self-stick weatherstripping around the perimeter of the mating surfaces for maximum performance we just slid ours in and the vacuum pulls it up tight. I see a lot of posts about using a higher CFM fan and that is great in theory but the little rectangular exhaust duct included with the K40 can only move so much air.
If you add a fan that is way too big it will be pointless and the drag on the motor will shorten its life. Okay, now to the air assist. I think this is because the Visio. The software runs fine on the latest Windows 10 and my old XP Pro system. I would recommend K40 Whisper in any case and hope to see some added functionality down the road. I started out using this software and so far it has worked great. I do wish it could do engrave and cut in same operation, but normally I have to manually change power anyways, so that is more a limitation of the machine.
I never looked at a laser cutter and knew nothing about them, it took me like 15 minutes to make a sample cut, and now it is super easy. Just got this running on my K40 with M2Nano board.. Skip to content. Notify of. Newest Oldest.
