1.Please ensure that the focal length of the laser module is correct and the lens of the laser module is clean when powered off(It can be clean with the dustless cloth and alcohol).
2.The parameters are for reference only because the color of the material is different and it will lead to a different effect.You can achieve a desired effect by adjusting the parameters: Generally higher power or slower speed make deeper effect; Lower power or faster speed make shallower effect.
3.The bottom surface of the cutting place should be suspended when cutting.You should protect the workbench (such as using steel plates or other materials that are not easily penetrated by laser).

3.The bottom surface of the cutting place should be suspended(use a honeycomb worktable) when cutting.You should protect the workbench (such as using aluminum plates or other materials that are not easily penetrated by laser).

quotation-mark 100 Wedding Gifts, with a falcon 5W (I had to make 3 layers of 0.4mm wood). I cut the adhesive paper itself with my own laser. Besides, I made a custom keychain design for the friends of the couple that formed the figure of the meplee. quotation-mark

quotation-mark Hey all! So I’ve been accepted into the group expert scene. A little about me, been laser working for 2 years, 3D printing for 6 years and cnc woodworking for 3 years. I’m a Jack of all trades. If you need help don’t hesitate to ask. Here are a few of my laser pieces I’ve done with my Creality device. quotation-mark

quotation-mark I just received and setup my Falcon 10w. It comes with 2 different software. Grbl and light burn. I’m a total newbie to the jargon in GRBL, am I out of my league? And which software is easier to use? quotation-mark
