I’m working with 1.8mm material (acrylic), simply trying to cut out simple shapes. I’ve finally worked out settings that work without melting the material… but still having an issue I can’t seem to resolve:
When I tell Luban to cut to a depth of 1.8mm, the job only cuts about halfway through the material. I’ve been incrementally increasing test cuts, and finally found that setting to 2.4mm is nearly right; close enough that I can break the part free easily enough and cleanly.
My question is: If I set my origin correctly (nearly touching the piece) and tell Luban/Snapmaker to cut to the thickness of the material, shouldn’t that be what I get? Is there a “fudge factor” that I should add to every job, and if so, what is it? I’m working with scrap materials preparing to cut a piece for someone else, and I don’t want to ruin their materials (thicker than my scrap) trying to dial in the right settings.
Thanks,
