7. Ipilẹ isẹ

This section outlines the fundamental steps for engraving and cutting.

7.1. Material Placement

Place the material to be engraved or cut flat on the working surface. Ensure it is stable and does not move during operation.

7.2. Dídarí Lésà

The S30 uses a fixed focus column and sliding device for focusing. Position the laser module over the material and adjust its height until the laser beam is at its smallest point on the material surface. This ensures optimal engraving and cutting performance.

7.3. Preparing Your Design

Import your design into the software (e.g., LightBurn). Adjust parameters such as power, speed, and number of passes according to the material type and desired outcome. For automatic air assist, ensure the M8 command is enabled in LightBurn for cutting operations.

7.4. Bibẹrẹ Isẹ

Once the design is prepared and the laser is focused, initiate the engraving or cutting process from the software. Monitor the machine closely throughout the operation.

8. Itọju

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SCULPFUN S30.

• Lẹnsi Laser mimọ: Periodically clean the laser lens with a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution to maintain beam quality.
• Ko idoti kuro: Remove any accumulated dust, debris, or material residue from the machine's frame, rails, and working area after each use.
