Finishing Touches
After you finish engraving, clean the surface. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dust. For metal, you might need to wipe away any residue. If you want your logo to stand out more, use a marking compound or paint to fill in the lines. Let everything dry before you touch it.
- Clean the engraved area for a crisp look.
- Adjust focus if you see blurry lines.
- Try different settings on scrap pieces to improve your skills.
Safety reminder: Always wear eye protection and keep your workspace ventilated during this step.
Troubleshooting
Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here are some common problems and how to fix them:
- Uneven engraving: Check if your material is flat and the laser is focused.
- Burn marks: Lower the power or increase the speed.
- Incomplete engraving: Clean the lens and try a higher power setting.
- Misalignment: Make sure your artwork and material are lined up.
- Excessive noise: Tighten any loose screws and check for debris.
- Laser not firing: Check the power supply and all connections.
- Overheating: Move the laser to a new spot or adjust the cooling.
Regular maintenance helps prevent most issues. Clean your machine, check the optics, and always use the right materials. If you’re not sure, run a test engraving first.
