This is one of the biggest reasons I’m looking forward to the GF. If those two settings aren’t correct you’re going to get weird things happening.
In the serial number field (bottom left) enter the serial number from the controller board under the right side panel of the machine. In the machine field (top box) make sure you pick the entry with “-M2” in it. In LaserDRW or CorelLaser hit the config or machine setup/preferences.
Your speed issue is likely a config problem. Here’s a link on using Corel to do both cutting & engraving - you’ll use layers and send them one at a time. That’s also where you set things like power, starting position, speed, etc.ĬorelLaser is useful if you want to manipulate your design and then you hit the icon to send it to the laser & you’ll get the same pop-up options. The pop-up asks for Engrave or Cut (it can’t do both at once) and hit the “Starting” button. Then I open it up in LaserDRW and send it over. I do my work in AI or Inkscape and save as/export as either a BMP or DXF file if it’s something I may use on other lasers (I use the K40 for smaller stuff or for scaled down versions of something as I test designs). Also, have you found any other software that will work that is easier/more user friendly?
