If I start with a proofgrade operation and convert it to manual, I thought the proofgrade settings were supposed to appear in the manual window so that one can make small tweaks. I’ve been noticing this doesn’t always seem to work.
For example, if I tell the glowforge to use “Thick Black Acryllic” and and choose:
“Draft Graphic” Proofgrade engrave. Then change it to manual, the settings come up as:
Speed 1000, Power Full, 195lpi, 1 pass, 0.236" thick.
“SD Graphic” Proofgrade engrave. Then change it to manual, the settings come up as:
Speed 1000, Power Full, 270lpi, 1 pass, 0.236" thick.
“HD Graphic” Proofgrade engrave. Then change it to manual, the settings come up as:
Speed 300, Power 16, 450lpi, 1 pass, 0.236" thick.
Are those first two settings accurate? Does Draft and SD really both use 1000 speed/Full Power? or is there just a problem populating the defaults when I change to manual settings? Those settings just seem so different from the HD settings, that I am doubting their accuracy.
Every now and then I do see glitchy behavior with switching to Manual after choosing Proofgrade. Usually just switching back and forth a time or two fixes it.
That’s not working for me. All of the Acrylic material types that I’ve checked seem to consistently display 1000 speed/full power for the Draft and SD modes. I guess it’s possible that those really are the right settings. But I wanted to check.
