I was looking for something like this on the forum but didn’t encounter any so ran some tests my self, maybe it’ll be helpful for you guys!
Before I do a big sign I always test the waters by doing some mini signs.
Here are 4 different types of proofgrade engraving done on medium draftboards.
Note: Draft & SD engraving are slightly bigger than the first two so time is a bit longer than if they’re the same size.
You can’t see in the photos but deep 3d burned through the draftboard completely (holes at the top). Also, I think the machine thought I had thick acrylic… otherwise I don’t think there’s even a deep 3D option.
I believe that’d be a Support issue. I don’t think any setting should cause an engrave to cut through its associated material. You may want to post in the Support section as well.
Ah yes, there was not supposed to be a deep 3D option.
The ticket I should file is glowforge read (and kept) the material of my prior session even tho I opened and switched out to a new material with QR code visible.
Oh! That happened to you, too?!? I had the same issue last week! Ruined an entire sheet of Thick Black Acrylic because it didn’t change materials appropriately and thought I was still using Medium Red Acrylic. So, yeah… I’d say open a ticket about it so they’re aware it’s not an isolated issue.
