Virtually no testing done yet
=== Others ===
There still needs to be extensive testing done to see which materials work and which don't, but basically the gist of it is: don't use anything that has PVC in it, and don't use metal (unless for engraving -> need to explore options). There have been some tests with rubber (for stamps) as well, this needs to be properly documented and more testing needs to be done.

== Materials ==
=== Wood ===
4mm wood - 28-45mm/s @ 100% for cutting, depending on location on laser bed. 35 is a good average. Engraving is good at 500mm/s, you can engrave from 6% to 30-50-60% ish - this needs to be further clarified. 15-20% with a 0.2 interval gives a good clean result.
6mm wood - 20-30mm/s
=== Cardboard ===
40mm/s
=== Paper ===
No testing done yet
=== Acrylic ===
8-20mm/s, engraving at 20% 500mm/s
