Common Mistakes & Depanare
❌ Ghosting or Shadow Marks
→ Check focus height and lower your frequency. Clean your lens before every job.
❌ Burn Discoloration or Overheating
→ Use lower power and slower speeds. Stainless retains heat—less is more.
❌ Inconsistent Depth Across Surface
→ Re-level your bed or calibrate the Z-axis. Uneven surfaces can ruin detail.
❌ Rusting after Engraving
→ Clean with isopropyl alcohol and apply light anti-corrosion spray for outdoor use.
