No, the S-Value Max is simply telling the laser to output 100% if it is set to 1000. The difference in the burn is some other cause. They both use the same Gcode.

How you doing bro? Thanks for the videos. Question on the using the Boolean Assistance. First let me tell you what I’m trying to do. I use 10 mil Duralar clear film to cut stencils out for Airbrushing on T-shirts. So I create bridge in images or even text so certain pieces of the image or text stay together, most when I’m cutting for the positive part of the image. Sometimes i can use the Boolean Assistance and sometimes I can’t, mostly when I am doing letters and making bridges on them. What would be the fastest way to make these bridges? Also, the weld tool and Boolean assistance won’t be lit up when i want to use them. Just a big headache bro, I watch all your videos and everything seems to flow for you, but not for me lol.
