Symptoms of a Bad cut | Example Layer Settings |
Corners and tight radius curves do not cut all the way or even fire at all (Back Side is shown here) | When the laser head is traveling 10mms (even is layer speed is set to 100mm/s) the Nova Laser will run the Layer Min Speed, in this case it is set to 1% which is too low to fire or cut the material |
Layer Speed Set to 25mms but on Corners and Tight Radius Curves, output is 1% | Example of Proper Settings for Reduced Power for Corner\Tight Radius Cutting |
