Just got this A5 M50 Pro after watching dozens of videos of it cutting 3mm or thicker plywood right out of the box. I am using LightBurn and one pass at 100mm/min 100% laser doesn’t even burn deep enough to feel the cut with a sharp object. Thinking it was something with LightBurn, I loaded the included dog cut file from Atomstack on the TF card and tried it from the offline controller. Same result. The marking on the dogs body are cut more deeply than the outline that should have cut clear through. I am wondering if my laser is defective.

S Value and $30 are correct.

      Make a square in LightBurn with the cut settings that you used. Then go to “Save gcode” in Laser window and save the code with a .txt extension and upload the file here. Will review to see if there’s something going on there.
