I’ve got a bit of a process question. I engrave quite a few rasters but have noticed that they always work best when I have an overscan enabled of a few mm (engrave is even instead of darker at edges due to acceleration/deceleration).
This is no problem to me, but it does cause some issues when trying to line up as the check size includes the overscan. Is there a way for the check size to not include the overscan and just show the size of the actual engraving area?
@Adam_Bowers Thats such an obvious idea I have no idea why I didn’t think of it! Thanks :). The only downer with that is sometimes it takes a minute or so to generate the GCode and I would need to do it every time I load a part on a multi-run (I’m working on a jig system at the moment but I’ve got some work queued up that needs doing).
It would be nice to have an option that worked like Ultimaker’s Cura slicer, where it just automatically generates G-Code after every change. Or if you could cue up several jobs (have a bounding box that either doesn’t fire the laser or fires at 1%, however you target) and if you’re lined up, then you can run the second job.
Maybe just a check box on the control screen to exclude overscan. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard for the bounding box to be calculated in software without the overscan . Maybe just a simple case of removing overscan mm from overall size?
