@P_Mido At this point I would say that you have problems with the motion of the motors, because the speed on the video is not even close to 2000 cut rate is more too small. I think you have to configure grbl, can you post your grbl settings? You can take them from the console in the bottom right, you have to insert “$$” and press enter, paste here the output.

@P_Mido Your acceleration settings $120 and $121 are very small you have to increase them, you can read about this in the documentation here: https://cncpro.yurl.ch/documentation/initial-configuration/31-grbl-1-1e/23-evaluate-max-acceleration

@Octavian_Bujor
what is the correct Value for Max PMW ? !
becuse i set it default is $30=1000 and set on setting on Gcode same 1000
But My laser engraveing Light ! By Power 100% ! on papr thin
so the correct value !!

@P_Mido This depends on your hardware I don’t know, in my case the max value is 1000.

@Octavian_Bujor
look the result
im using cnc shield on arduino uno

Hello

Can i Make better More ?!

@P_Mido Good, these results are better! Yes, you can do better but on another surface, the last one seams to be balsa wood, it’s to soft for good engraving results. I would recommend you to try on Birch plywood which is much harder than balsa and the results are better. Another think you can do is to improve image you want to engrave by using an image editor.

@Octavian_Bujor
Thnx Man :slight_smile:
i will Buy this wood and i will try and i will show u the result later
Can i ask question ! the Gap that u told me about it last time in this result is now disapered ?
And
to edit image like in video u send me be4 !
its recommend to remove blackguard on image to good engrave
Another thing please my laser can Cut Wood until How mili ?! or its can not happened
thnx alot

@P_Mido Yes, the Gap seams to be disappeared. The background could be removed or not it depends on image and your preference. To cut plywood on this laser is very hard, you can do it with many passes, and it would be a slow process. I cut poplar plywood think 4mm in 5 passes at 120 cut rate, for birch 3mm think 4 passes are not enough. If you want to cut balsa wood it would be faster.

@Octavian_Bujor
i will follow u :slight_smile:
Nice work
i will try to edit image to make better engrave :slight_smile: i will show u result soon

@Octavian_Bujor
Hello Again … i wana show u My Machine and i ask u about something because i wana be sure i dont make it by wrong way . can i chat with u or something Please waiting for your replay thnx
