The following settings work with the Glowforge online software and we have found give good consistent results. You can lower the lines per inch to reduce the time it takes and make a shallower engrave if you prefer.
Its very important to set the grayscale to “Vary Power” so that it does not try and reprocess and dither the map file.
An 11″ X 14″ cutting board takes about 4 hours to engrave fully on the Glowforge Basic and you do need to take the honeycomb tray out be able to fit it under the laser head.
