I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Glowforge should warn us if were about to do a job with the default speed or power, and always warn when doing a cut/score at under 5 power.
Just a simple “you sure?” Dialog would save so much trouble. Why is this not done by now?
The other thing to watch for: after setting the power, don’t press the “back” button at the top of the flyout - that is the equivalent to “cancel”. Instead just click on a different object or on the image.
Yes, I now have that…I don’t know how it gets changed I never fiddle with that. All my material is proofgrade…so I was thinking it geared the settings to the material.
If you select Proofgrade in the first screen, it will cut as normal
As soon as you click that arrow you’re telling the machine “I want to enter my own settings” so it defaults everything
So either just select the PG setting and resist the desire to double check, or enter settings
There used to be a way to see what the PG settings are…but I think that’s no longer true…or I don’t have the magic touch
I don’t know why I push that arrow. I’ve had some problems setting the cut, score etc. It’s like it does’t hold it and I have to do it again sometimes.
i just checked (since I often click into the PG settings and slow the speed by 5 or 10) and I still see the PG settings when I click the arrow. It only seems to default to 500 speed 1 power for me when I click onto “use uncertified material”. At that point, if I click the arrow and then change to a proofgrade material, the 500/1 settings stays in place.
I’m having the same issue, I was cutting out 1/8" acrylic 3-ply (black/white/black) and had found what I considered the perfect settings. That was a 4-6 weeks ago, today I went to try it again and it’s not cutting it out. I have to make 4 passes and still kind of break it out. Also, the cuts are super sloppy now, the black is bleeding onto the white edges. I am using the same settings as before and even playing around with them to no avail. I cleaned the entire machine hoping that would help, but no. Please help!
