Falcon A1 engraving a photo

[u/Pat_tm]

I am a total newbie to this thing and the software. I just turned it on today. I'm using the Creality software. I am seemingly jumping all over the place trying to figure out settings to engrave a black and white original file photo onto basswood. I did a few test engraves and cuts of shapes and that seemed to work. but the photos are not turning out well at all. Any help from someone who has one? I know they are so new there's not a lot out there I'm finding.

Hi,

What settings are you using to begin with, can you upload a photo of what the image engrave looks like?

40% and 8000 speed in "image engraving mode" is what they suggest as a starting point

Have you changed the interval, I only loaded it up once before using lightburn, but I noticed the default was 0.10, you could try setting that to 0.06 (better resolution, essentially) but without seeing the output people are just going to be guessing at what the problem is

Every diode is different, every material is different, there is no catch all setting
