3 Settings Ruining Your Laser Engravings (Fix These First)

Описание: If your laser engravings look washed out or not dark enough, these are the 3 settings you need to fix first. I’m using the xTool S1 as the example, but this applies to most diode laser engravers.

In this video, I break down the most common xTool S1 mistakes I see beginners make — especially with speed, power, and line interval — and show you how to fix them immediately.

You’ll see a direct comparison between overburned engraves and clean, detailed results so you can understand what’s actually happening when you stack too much heat into your material.

We’ll cover:

• Why darker isn’t better
• How speed and power really interact
• What line interval actually changes
• Why excessive LPI ruins detail
• A simple, repeatable method to dial in clean engraves

This applies to the 40W xTool S1 and other diode lasers working on wood, plywood, and common engraving materials.

If you’re new to laser engraving — or frustrated with inconsistent results — this will save you time, materials, and a lot of trial and error.

Equipment used:
