I have a pump on order, and it should be here soon. The LaserDRW is the most friendly laser engraving software. I have to skip the bonus question, as I don't have air assist yet. Acrylic has been very easy to cut on my machine, so you may want to dial back the power a little bit and bump the cut speed up and see how that works. This will give the top of the acrylic time to absorb too much heat and melt back from the cut.
Of course, if your machine has a Moshi controller, it won't work.Īs for the acrylic cutting issue, it is pretty hard to troubleshoot without knowing all that is going on, but I suspect you are running too hot, or too slow (or maybe both). I haven't played with it yet, but it works essentially the same way with the color determining the action. I then export to the native LaserDrw format, and then just use LaserDrw to do the engraving.Īnother option is the K40 whisperer by Scorchworks. With this, I just draw what I want and set the colors for how that part of the image is handled: red for cut, blue for mark (vector engrave), and black for raster engrave. Click the k40whisperer application to fire up the application.
USING LASERDRW SOFTWARE
Download K40 Whisperer software here and extract to a known location on your computer. Is it normal for engraving a 3' by 3' image to take an hour Thanks for your help. I have the Scorchworks plugin for Inkscape. I have written a quick introduction into the k40 Whisperer software and the main functions that exist within the interface. The laser is very good at making solid dark lines and marks, but Id like to space out the pinpoints that it makes further apart so that there are less firings per line and less lines overall in the image, speeding up the process but also lowering the accuracy. Important note: 1.
They also drill holes for microvias this way and can cut. Make sure the bitmaps are of high resolution if youre to use bitmaps, otherwise the patterns to be engraved might be vague.If you want to cut material,please use vector diagram. No, these use Q-switch UV lasers, they ablate the copper off the surface and leave the FR-4 behind. For anything other than the most basic designs, I don't use LaserDrw for any design work. And when using the LaserDRW software,you only can do engraving,you cant cut material. In LaserDRW, you can directly open image files with extensions such as bmp, dib, jpg, jpeg, png, gif, wmf, emf, pcx, tif, tiff, etc. But using the Keep Outlines option, each part of this split object. I am by no means an expert, but I am still using LaserDrw for my K40 to a limited extent. If you dont have the right CorelDRAW software version, you can use LaserDRW we provided to drive our machine, but you need to making bitmaps in other packages and importing them into the LaserDRW software. K40 Whisperer is an alternative to the the Laser Draw (LaserDRW) program that comes.
