No longer an issue. Cannot get the post deleted.
Welcome to the community.
Two things to try; make sure the power setting for the engrave didnāt default to ā1āā¦which will do nothing. Make sure you donāt have two layers on top of each other for the engrave portionā¦they will cancel each other out and againā¦do nothing.
What are you engraving (file type) and what setting are you using?
I have uncovered what I think is a bug and GF refuses to pursue the issue. In my case, HD Graphic for BITMAP only appears not to work at all, although testing on Proofgrade which has masking revealed a very, very light engrave was indeed happening, but not enough to mark the material.
Interesting!
We actually nailed down after this that it is a specific file that isnāt working. Itās strange because itās a file we downloaded from the GF Catalogue.
I donāt think everyone has the same issue I uncovered. Another owner took my information and used the same settings and had a different result.
Itās a weird one (as per the thread title) but I was able to work around it. Machine still does it today.
UPDATE:
It is a specific file that is not working. I made sure the settings were appropriate (thick maple plywood) and it isnāt that the settings are low, just that the laser isnāt firing at all.
Regardless, it was a file we downloaded from the GF catalogue which is why we expected it to work, but it doesnāt seem to be an issue with the device so weāre all good!
When you click on āENGRAVEā below the step that appears not to be working, a window will pop out showing which specific engrave setting it is using - what does this one say?
I understand what youāre asking, but I went through every type of engrave and the issue was the same.
That is odd. Glad you figured it out.
