Start with scrap from the same supplier and thickness. Change only one variable at a time, then save the tested speed, power, passes, photo, material source, and cleanup note. Keep cutting and engraving settings separate.
When to choose a different TYVOK path
If the job changes from compact marking to large-format cutting, or from diode work to clear acrylic, move to the machine family that fits the material path instead of forcing one preset across different laser types.
