Marlin Vs Grbl vs Smoothie
Ok after installing marlin then reading up was recommended it’s not the best firmware for a laser so I installed grbl LPC and low and behold all the same hardware no more freezing and prints are actually finishing

Try grbl-lpc or Cluster Mode Smoothieware (although I have heard MKS and smoothieware aren’t good bedfellows).

If you mostly cut, rather than engrave photos, anything will work.

Disconnections aren’t the result of firmware type, but of hardware - controller, cables, config.

Filament Parameters PETG  non clogging.

PETG filaments are made of premium PETG plastic which combines the advantages of other filaments such as safe and odorless; little shrinkage rate; high impact strength and good liquidity (flows smoothly); Furthermore, this beautiful PETG filaments make prints come out with a little "shine" or "spark" to it.

FAQs:

Why can't the filaments stick to the build bed?

1. Check the temperature setting before printing, PETG filaments have higher extrusion temperature than that of PLA;

2. Check if the plate surface has been used for a long time, it is recommended to replace it with our new one to ensure a strong first layer adhesion;

3. If the first layer has poor adhesion, it is recommended to re-level the print substrate to reduce the distance between the nozzle and the surface plate;

4. If the effect is not good, it is recommended to try printing the draft before printing.
