During my paper cut adventures I have tried many different settings (power, speed, Hz) - with good progress and I am quite happy with the result. But I was wondering if there is a ruby job/template to test cut when using a new material, a bit like a test page for a printer. Something that iterates through various settings, so you can then see what works best…anyone?
I usually just pick petra’s settings and play around with those then save them with my name 
she has settings for all ply wood sizes, leather, foam etc.

I made a template myself but I still haven’t set it up for this laser. I can send the .svg over but you have to set each colour with a configuration.
You can make one yourself with far less settings than mine. Just open a vector editor make a grid of boxes, each with a different colour, save it as .svg or .pdf, open it up on the laser software and should read colours as layers. Set each layer with a laser configuration.

There are loads of test sheet designs, such as these: https://3axis.co/laser-cut/material-test-card/
I’m going to prepare one for Ruby when I get back to London in mid-Aug.
I’ll probably use this one: https://3axis.co/laser-cut-engrave-test-template-svg-file/51rrde01/
If you get to it before I do, let me know how it goes!
