Hey, guys!
Just got my 30w Chinese galvo laser and it's been a challenging, but rewarding experience.
I mostly work with nickel silver parts and have been trying to find the right EzCad settings to get a good black mark on it. I've done many searches on this forum as well as Google and the only available information is for steel, aluminum and similar more popular alloys. I've also tried using the TYKMA manual as a starting point, but no matter how much I change settings, the metal either burns with a brown rust color, or frosts. I know that nickel silver is mostly copper and it doesn't play well with a fiber laser, but I still have a feeling that may get lucky. I've been using Cermark in the past, but would love to utilize the new toy. Any help is appreciated.
