Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Stainless Steel on the Creality Falcon?
The top-rated community setting uses 3000 mm/min at 90% power. Requires marking spray (Dry Moly Lube or Cermark) - apply thin coat, let dry, engrave, then wipe. 10W diode cannot mark bare stainless directly. For photo engraving: use Floyd-Steinberg dithering at ~10 lines/mm.
Can the Creality Falcon cut Stainless Steel?
A 10W diode laser can mark or engrave metal surfaces but cannot cut through them: metal cutting requires a much higher-powered laser or a plasma cutter.
How many passes does the Creality Falcon need to engrave Stainless Steel?
All settings here use a single pass. Confirm focus and do a small test burn before committing to your final design.
Do I need air assist for Stainless Steel on the Creality Falcon?
Air assist is not flagged as required for these settings, but it is good practice during cutting operations to keep the lens clean and reduce char buildup.
