Nice vid! I appreciate you bringing us along for the trial and error. The carbon fibre plate looks to be a semi reflective surface battling along with two materials for the laser to penetrate. It’ll be interesting to see how you work around it.
Would have been nice to see 100% power at 1.0mm/sec... though honestly, you have to have a very expensive & powerful fiber laser to cut carbon fiber plate... it's about 10x cheaper to buy a desktop waterjet for cutting carbon fiber. The laser has to be able to reach about 4500C cutting temperature in order to vaporize the carbon fiber.

Hi Alex, no problem at all thanks for watching 🤙🏽 cheers

A single pass won't cut it... Maybe multi-pass, lower power so resin won't melt as horribly, but way more passes
Better luck next time maybe try masking tape
