LightBurn Tutorial — Defocusing Engraves
There's an art to defocusing your laser beam in order to get the cleanest engrave, especially when it comes to acrylic! In today's video, I will show you how to test different Z Offsets to find out which focal distance works best for you.
I engraved four pieces of acrylic with the same speed and power settings, but adjusted the z-offset on each one. There is a clear winner at the end! 😍
