Hi.
Creality Falcon with Creality Air Pump (on full pump)
Lightburn software
I have not done any engraving except for the initial test to determine best settings and one keyring. The board if flat, kept down with strong magnets.
Material used: 3mm MDF
Focus: Thickest option of the aluminium “focus setter”.
My first project was a keyring which came out beautiful.
Yesterday I engraved and cut out another two which came out like on the photo.
Why is it dark ons the sides and correct in the middle?
I will appreciate your advice since this is very new to me.
Not sure here, but isn’t it dust that lighten the color?
Have you tried to give it a gentle brushing with something like an old toothbrush?
Again, it’s just a guess from the picture - I wouldn’t be able to explain why it would do this.
You might want to try a different material to see if it behaves like this.
You can get pretty cheap boards at the dollar store in the craft section…at least in Quebec
Let us know if you find anything out! I’m pretty curious and might learn something new!
