HONEYCOMB PANEL INTRODUCTION

The method of using honeycomb needle

Four honeycomb pins are fixed in the corner of the carved material to ensure that the material will not buckle.
Note: stainless steel will be deformed by heat, the honeycomb needle can not be fixed steadily

Stick non-slip sheets to the aluminium sheet First confirm the position of the paste anti-slip sheet with honeycomb board, and then paste the anti- slip sheet (honeycomb board corner protection may interfere with the attention to avoid position)

CONNECT PC

1. Connect the machine with the computer installed with LaserGRBL software with USB data cable.
2. Plug in the power.
3. Open LaserGRBL on the computer.
4. Select the specific port number and baud rate—-115200 (Figure A.10)
5. Click the lightning sign. When the lightning sign changes to the red “X” and the direction sign is lit, it indicates that the connection is successful. (Figure A.11) Generally, the COM port does not need to be selected manually, unless multiple serial port devices are connected to the computer, you can find the port of the machine in the device manager of the windows system (as shown in Figure A.09). A simpler way is to try the displayed port number one by one.

Note: If you cannot find the correct port in the “Ports”, you may need to Method 1: Click “Tools” in the menu to install CH340 driver (This function is not available in some software versions); Method 2: Copy the “CH340ser. Exe” file in the TF Card (USB flash disk) to the computer and install it.

GRBL INTRODUCTION

1. Software Downloading
   LaserGRBL is one of the most popular DIY laser engraving software, which can be downloaded in LaserGRBL website http://lasergrbl.com/download/ (The installation package is also available on the TF card from the manufacturer or USB flash disk). Brief introduction: LaserGRBL is easy to use. However, LaserGRBL only supports Windows system (Win XP/Win 7/Win 8/XP/Win 10). For Mac users, you can also choose LightBurn, which is also an impressive engraving software, but it’s not free. And this software also supports Windows system. Note: The engraving machine needs to be connected with the computer during engraving, and the software of the engraving machine cannot be turned off.

2. Software Installation
   Double click the software installation package to start the software installation and click “Next” until the installation is complete.

3. Language
   Click “Language” on the menu at the top to select the language you need.

4. Load Engraving File
   Click “File” and “Open File” in turn, as shown in figure 8.1, and then select the graph you want to engrave. LaserGRBL supports files in the formats of NC, BMP, JPG, PNG, etc.

5. Set picture parameters, engraving mode and engraving quality.

6. Laser GRBL can adjust the sharpness, brightness, contrast, highlight and other properties of the target graph. We can preview window effect during adjustment, and adjust the effect to your satisfaction.

7. In the engraving mode, “Line-to-line Tracking” and “1Bit Shaking” can
   usually be chosen;”1Bit Shaking” is more suitable for carving grayscale graph. Please Choose “Vector Diagram” or “Center Line” if you need cutting.

8. Engraving quality essentially refers to the line width of laser scanning.
   This parameter mainly depends on the size of the laser spot of the engraving machine. Note: The recommended engraving quality range is 12-15. Different materials have different reactions to laser irradiation, so the specific value depends on the specific engraving material.

9. At the bottom of the preview window, the graph can also be rotated,
   mirrored, cut and so on. After completing the above settings, click next to enter the settings of engraving speed, engraving energy, and engraving size.

10. Set engraving speed, engraving energy, and engraving size

11. The recommended engraving speed is 1000, which is considered to be a relative appropriate value after repeated experiments. Of course, you can increase or decrease this speed according to your preference. A faster engraving speed will save time but lead to the decline in the engraving effect. Slower speed is the opposite.

12. In laser mode, there are two instructions: M3 and M4. M4 instruction is recommended for engraving in “1bit jitter” mode, and M3 instruction is recommended for other cases. If you have only M3 instruction on the laser, please check whether the laser mode is used in the GRBL configuration.
    Please refer to the official instructions of LaserGRBL for GRBL configuration.

13. Choice of engraving energy. Choose it according to different materials.

14. Finally, set the size and click the “Create” button to complete the setting of all engraving parameters.

Save GCODE file
Click “File” in the menu at the top of the software interface, enter the drop- down menu, and select “Save”. Copy the saved .nc file to the TF card and insert the TF card into the engraver to use the file to engrave your work. Use the “MKSLaserTool” software in TF to add preview codes to Gcode files.

REFERENCE OF MATERIALS

Note: The energy value is set to 500, and the laser intensity accounts for 50% of the power. The energy value is set to 1000, and the proportion of laser intensity to power is 100%. The larger the energy, the faster the speed can be set. The above parameters only for reference. Due to the different properties of the materials, please adjust the parameter values according to the actual situations. 16

TEST BEFORE USE

1. Turn on the machine, and connect it to the computer.

2. Movement test:
   Control the machine to move up, down, left and right on the software, to check whether the direction and distance are right.(Fig. A01)

3. Laser emission test:
   Software import custom icons, then click to sent out laser(weak laser). Wear goggles and observe whether the laser module emits blue light.(Fig. A02)

4. Test the files in the TF card:
   Note: laser will generate heat and glare, which may cause harm. Please follow the instructions to avoid injury.

1. After the laser head has been used for a period of time, it is necessary to clean the lens of the light outlet under the laser head to ensure normal cutting ability
2. Wiping the lens must be done after the machine is powered off, otherwise the laser will hurt people
3. After wiping the lens, please dry it naturally for about 3-5 minutes and wait for the lens to dry before powering it on, otherwise the light will cause the lens to break
4. You can watch the video tutorial by scanning the QR code of the manual
