    As this was more an experiment to get the right Settings I thought why not share for others as well. 
    I used these on the M1 and tried my way up.

     

    I stared by 10 power and 10 speed and didn't worked. So please try with a little bit and get your right settings.

    Step 2: ATTENTION

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

    Read or get information what foam you have as some ingredients are VERY HARMFUL like Chloroprene!

     

    Step 3: Results of first Cuts

    Of course the first try didn’t go through ao here are the first results that were perfect. 

    Also guessing some engraving settings worked very good. 

    Step 4: Crafting a magnet

    I addes some doublesided tape to stick the magnet to the foam, I wanted to use some hot gun glue bit haven’t found mine… ops :D 

     

    Step 5: Use magnet

    Only thing is left is to add the magnet to a fridge or your magnetic bar. 

    I hope this might help you to do some fun things with craft foam. Please again make sure the ingredients are not bad for your health or your machine!
