General Discussion / Re: Etching Ceramic Tile
« on: April 23, 2021, 12:53:44 PM »
Digging up the topic ... 
I did some tests with high temperature black paint, there was no tile, I used some metal parts (I want to make it in a lighter), the paint was drying for 48 hours ...
The only explanation that came to mind for the two of the same configuration to be different is the layer of paint (maybe thicker on top), in the corner the only difference is the diagonal direction of the engraving.

General Discussion / Re: Rotary axis without motor
« on: April 15, 2021, 09:50:21 PM »
I did an improvisation with things I had here, it is not the best solution but it is working ...
in T2Laser I have to leave the "Rotating Axis" function off, otherwise it is all out of scale, reduced ... I put the diameter value, it shows the correct circumference, but when it comes to showing the frame, the two measurements are much smaller of the "rectangle" that will become a cylinder.
Leaving this function off, it seems to work well.

Nice. I'll try to build one with smaller wheels and see what happens.

Four wheels attached to the Y axis ...
I thought about doing something to engrave wooden cylinders, but I believe that the diameter of these wheels cannot be any measure.

I don't know if anyone knows, but I found it very useful.
It was designed for a CNC router, but I think it’s okay to use with the laser too.
This "newspaper photo" effect is really cool.

Assembly Help / NEJE DK-8-KZ with Eleksmana Board
« on: October 10, 2020, 09:11:22 PM »
Can I control this machine with this board?
It works with a USB 5v and another USB for data, but it is also necessary for full operation. They are DVD drive engines.

Engraving / Re: GRBL 1.1e burning weaker
« on: October 10, 2020, 08:26:18 PM »It seems that everything is right now =]
I used Send Default Parameters, it changed a few things ...
I did some tests, I just have to adjust the settings to find the right spot ...
T2 has many tools that I believe will speed up several processes, but I gradually discover ... only Sketch Plus (Overlay) is already an advantage for me.

GRBL 0.9i Parameters
GRBL 1.1e Parameters
Both GRBL loaded by T2Laser.
I saw that in 0.9i the parameters $ 30, $ 31 and $ 32 do not appear.
I loaded Restore Defauts in the Help menu, I don't know if that is what you say by "use T2Laser defauts", because now that I saw that in the Machine menu, under "Display Grbl Parameters" it has "Send predefined parameters" and "Reset parameters GRBL "

In mine there is also a wavy sometimes ... the support where the module is attached has a gap ... if I send a square, there is a ripple at the beginning of the line after the change of movement in the Y> X direction.

I did Restore Default and it remains the same, but I noticed that the speed 3000 at 0.9 is slower than at 1.1.
What would be the speed range in the two GRBLs? Just like the laser max is 1000 at 0.9 and 255 at 1.1.

with GRBL 1.1e the laser does not work at max power, with 0.9i it seems so, both the 5.5W and 15W laser.
Would anyone know what happens?

It's ok. I saw the GND connection in another post, I'll try.

Trouble Shooting / Connecting the laser directly to the source
« on: October 05, 2020, 09:47:42 PM »
I use a 15W laser connected with this three-wire cable, where yellow is wpm ... everything works ok.
I decided to use the cable from the third photo, which came with the laser module, in this, the wpm wire (red) I call where the yellow was in the first photo, but the laser is always on at max ...
What am I doing wrong? it seemed to me a logical thing.

LaserGrbl / Re: Copying GRBL
« on: September 26, 2020, 02:39:00 PM »5000 mm/min is the max feed rate in T2Laser defaults but you may not reach it depending on acceleration values and travel distance, you could increase this to 8000 on a well setup machine but I use 5000 as the default value because it's fairly conservative and unlikely to lose steps on most machines.I think the value of the Rapid Feed Rate can be the same as the Feed Rate (Recording) to give continuity to the movement ... or not necessarily?
