I have been doing some test cuts. Part of the way through, I realized that when I hit “start” on the laser, the power and speed flash and change back to some values set in Lightburn.
This meant I had to go back through and correct my test notes; and it also seems problematic from a testing perspective. What is the best way to ensure that the laser can override these file settings?

Video upload is not authorized but I recorded it. Edges were nearly perfect: probably a little more power or less speed would have resulted in perfect edges. No flames.

During a second cut, the edges were not completely cut in parts; it may be that a modest power increase is needed for reliability.

Tweave 520E Durastretch fabric.
Power: 20%
Speed: 100mm/s
Edges were clean. No flames. The edges resist fraying but it doesn’t form the melted, annealed edges that nylon webbings or Cordura form.
Tweave Durastretch fabric in a lighter weight.
Power: 20%
Speed: 100mm/s
Edges were clean. No flames. The edges resist fraying but it doesn’t form the melted, annealed edges that nylon webbings or Cordura form. This is Tweave in a lighter weight than 520E; I believe it is marketed as 544P.
