I have a hobby 3018 running a 20W laser module.
Everting seemed to be working great, allowing me to slowly review the YouTube tutorials to learn more. I’ve been concentrating on setting up a material test to find the best outcome using 3mm ply. Anyhow - long story short. My laser fires and I can manually focus it. It burns the ply when i fire the laser and burns into the ply when I move the X/Y manually with the laser still fired. I can clearly see lines the burned into the ply, however when I run the material test, the laser fires but fails to burn. Although I have not adjusted anything, I have now set the laser to 100% but it still wont burn - even though the laser is on. Any thoughts? What info do you need grom me to help. Thanks.

      "90000mm/m"
There may have been some sort of mistake before. This would be absurdly fast for a 20W diode laser.
Continue to slow down.
One thing to check is that the value of S Value Max in Edit->Device Settings matches the value of $30 in Edit->Machine Settings. What are these values? If they differ then change S Value Max to match $30.
