Quick FAQs

Are these Sculpfun S30 Pro 20W settings guaranteed for Clear Acrylic?

No. Treat them as recommended starting points. Run a small test cut or engrave before you use a full sheet or finished part.

Why does 20W matter?

Wattage affects how much energy can be delivered at a given speed. A lower wattage machine may need slower speed or more passes than a higher wattage machine.

Should I change air assist for Clear Acrylic?

Follow the row when air assist is listed, then adjust during testing. Air assist can reduce flare-ups and improve cut edges, but some engraving jobs may need less airflow.
