Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Most desktop laser engravers use a fixed-focus gauge or block provided by the manufacturer. Place the gauge between the bottom of the laser module and the material, loosen the module screws, and lower it until it rests lightly on the gauge before tightening the screws.
The most popular control programs for standard G-code based laser engravers are LightBurn (a premium, highly featured software) and LaserGRBL (a free, Windows-only open-source alternative). Always check your user manual to ensure motherboard compatibility.
It is highly recommended to inspect and clean the laser lens after every 10 to 20 hours of use, or more frequently if cutting materials that produce heavy smoke, such as wood or MDF. A dirty lens can drastically reduce cutting power and may cause the lens to crack from heat buildup.
This issue is typically caused by incorrect focal distance, insufficient power settings, moving the laser at too high a speed, or a dirty lens. Ensure your settings match the material guidelines detailed in your specific machine's user manual.
