Hi all I have asked this before I used to do a lot of Yeti bottle using my old 1.6w laser and they all came out awesome.
Since I have upgraded to the 10w I can’t seem to get any nice finishes.
Would someone be willing to share their settings wit me I have stuffed up 3 Yeti this weekend and it’s costing me a fortune.
Thinking of changing back to the old laser
Thanks Wayne
Guys I know that there are heaps of you out there doing this successfully please share your tips
Hi,
I don’t have a 10W laser so I can’t help you with my own experience.
However, there is a similar post on the Facebook Group - see user comments 
@Tomi, don’t assume everyone is on Facebook.
Yip I don’t have Facebook thought that’s why there is a forum
Or at least some support for snapmaker
I guess if you really want to find a solution, you’ll have to make the effort to look on FB rather than just dismissing it. While I don’t use FB, I would at least check it out if I was desperate for a solution.
Any reason you don’t just continue engraving with the 1.6W laser? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 
I don’t have the SM 10w so I’ve hesitated to respond. I prefer not to share speculation and actual personal experience. But since no-one has really responded, I will.
You didn’t really share what’s wrong with the finish you’re getting.
I assume you’re problem is it’s turning out too dark and not shiny.
My guess is that your power is too high/speed to slow and you’re actually marking the metal. Speed up and/or lower the power.
If it isn’t marking it, then it’s probably leaving residue. Magic eraser or acetone can help clean that off.
Once you’ve messed up one, you’ve got a lot of surface to play around with. You can also usually do a small letter or symbol on the bottom to test that will be fairly inconspicuous.

Thanks for the response yes you’re correct the marking is darker and I can’t get it to shine
I will look and see if I can get a magic marker
Thanks again for the help
Ha ha cheers for checking
Is this the 10W laser, and if so, what were your settings? Do you think that it turned out good/bad?
