Newbie here…how do you know what settings to use? I let it pick default settings for the Glowforge brand draftboard, and it didn’t cut all the way through the material.
What did I do wrong??
hey you can google online material settings for glowforge someone made a chart of what settings to use it works great. Also what material are you using proofgrade stuff? i can help with your settings 
glowforge material settings spreadsheet
look this up on google it will give you a pretty cool spreadsheet on settings
I’m using Proofgrade Draftboard. I didn’t change any settings, and it cut, but not all the way through the materials. I tried to make another pass and slow it down, but that was clearly NOT the right answer, but it literally set the material on fire and turned it to dusty char. Yikes! I feel like I’m wasting SO much material trying to figure out the settings. Any suggestions/charts you have to share are GREATLY appreciated!!
Best,
Suzy
You should have no problem using Proofgrade settings for Proofgrade materials. If your optics and fans are clean, and if the material is held down flat to the honeycomb tray, Glowforge guarantees that the material will cut properly. Document your item that didn’t cut along with the date and time of the print and contact Glowforge support.
When you slowed down your cut, it sounds like you went too slowly and that is why you had a fire. Have you read this:https://support.glowforge.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033633574-Working-With-Manual-Mode

the focus height i measured it said 10.53 does that sound correct?
That doesn’t sound right. You don’t have to input any height, simply use the set focus tool and make sure that the red beam lands squarely on the material you will be engraving.

If you made the base of the jig from thick draftboard or similar, then the combined thickness of that and a standard pencil would be close to or at the limit of what will fit under the head and focus correctly.
There is no need, however, for a base. Just cut the pencil outline from a single piece of material. Shipping-box cardboard works just as well as draftboard. Use set-focus while zoomed in onto a pencil to set the correct focus height.
Something like this will work fine (make sure the pencil outline matches the dimensions of your pencils):
