Not Cutting Acrylics

Post by floumeque »

I have a laser machine.
Everyone I spoke to mentioned that it will be able to cut even more than 5mm acrylics. However, I tried cutting 3mm plastic but failed.
I tried with 50 Power and 30 mm/s as stated in some website. Failed all my attempts and I tried with higher power and low speed which resulted in melting sort of the plastic.
I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help.
Thank you.

Did you check if you mirrored aligned and clean? Is distance from nozzle to object correct for your lens focal length ?
Try matching your min and max power to be the same. You definitely should be able to cut 3mm acrylic.
I am interested in know more about your problem.
