You’ve thought long and hard about it and decided that laser engraving could be your thing.
So, where do you begin?
When starting a new hobby, everyone wants the best equipment that they can afford that will allow them to do everything they want and probably even more.
This is where YoraHome excels, among the machines they have on offer are diode laser engravers including the Yora CNC Laser Engraving Machine 6550 with its large working area of 65 x 50 cm.
This can be expanded even more with the Yora 6550 Expansion Kit to a massive 65 x 100 cm. Just imagine what you could make at that size!
The Yora CNC Carving Machine 3018-Pro that many people start their CNC obsession with (it will become an obsession, I promise), can be fitted with a laser too, making it a Yora CNC Carving & Laser Engraving Machine 3018-Pro, with its working area of 30 x 18 cm, which can also be expanded to 30 x 36 cm with the Yora 3018 Expansion Kit.
Basic machine decided on, what lasers are available?
The Yora Laser Module is available in 3.5W, 5.5W, 15W, and 40w versions. But, it’s all well and good having the fabulous equipment available, but what can you do with it? Or more to the point, how do you use it?
Once built and the software of your choice loaded on your computer, (most people use either LaserGRBL or Lightburn), the question most asked about lasers is “What settings do I need to use?”
Hundreds of thousands of Google searches have been done looking for the answer to that million-dollar question. There are so many variables that the usual answers include “trial and error” and start with low power and increase if needed….
