Hello all,
I have a Trotec Speedy 300 80W with a 2.0 lense. I only engrave, not cut. The issue I'm having is not being able to engrave certain products with raised sides because the laser head would hit the side. I have several products that I'd like to do, but this issue is not allowing me to do it. An example would be a wooden serving tray with handles, or even wooden walls all the way around. I know there are other workarounds for certain products, but I'm trying to solve this issue overall. The obvious solution would be to get the laser head up off of the product further. I engrave people's names, initials, etc, so I wouldn't necessarily say that I need VERY fine detail.
I called Trotec, and they seem unsure that it would do what I need. Does anybody have any experience engraving with the 4.0 lense? What was your experience like? Does it produce acceptable results (would love to see pictures). With the 4.0 lense, would the product be able to be 4" below where the lense sits in the laser head?
Thanks for the help guys. I greatly appreciate it.
