Machine

Machine is where you will configure your particular machine. This includes max X and Y bed size and your beam diameter.

Each machine will vary slightly, so it is recommended to run a test to determine the maximum burn area of your laser without hitting your limits as well as using a slant board test to identify the proper focal point of your beam and obtaining an accurate measurement of your beam diameter.
