- Why did my parts come out so small? I designed the desktop piece at half scale so I thought that the Corel Draw 1:2 setting would be correct
- I talked to Sam and he said that many programs don't play well together so there's some work to do to figure out the settings
- After measuring various feature sizes on the tiny part compared to what I wanted I decided to enlarge everything by 500%. It worked! I still don't know why but
it worked. It shouldn't have worked because I doubled the size originally with the scale setting in Corel draw then multiplied it by 5 again later. That means
the parts we 10 times the size I designed them at by the actual size doesn't line up with the measurements of my designs in Fusion 360
- Why did so many of my parts not come out at all?
- I looked at the sheet of Delrin and found that most of my parts were so small that the laser just melted the material instead of cutting pieces out.
- I needed to adjust the Speed and Power settings on the laser. After asking Tom he said it's a bit of guess and check. I decided to try Speed 10 Power 40.
- I made a second attempt and the below pictures are the result
