Laser Engraving Instructions for 3mm Basswood

1. Material Cleaning:

Before starting the engraving, make sure the surface of the basswood is completely clean and free from any dust or debris, as this can affect the precision and quality of the engraving. To clean it:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any visible particles.

• If necessary, you can use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure the wood is completely dry before placing it in the machine.

• Check all edges and surfaces to make sure there are no residues that could interfere with the engraving or cause smudges.

2. Engraving Settings:

To achieve optimal engraving on 3mm basswood with a 3D illusion effect, use the Jarvis dithering method and set the following parameters on the xTool M1 machine with a 10W diode laser:

• Speed: 4000 mm/min

• Power: 42%

• Dithering Method: Jarvis

• Number of Passes: Perform a single initial pass to verify the quality and depth of the engraving. This setup should be sufficient to achieve the desired effect on 3mm basswood.
