Quick question: Does “Laser Beam Diameter” affect the gcode output? When I change the value, it does not appear to make much difference.
Nope. Definitely not for cutting operations.
Might just be a placeholder for future feature development.
Yes it should impact in some way. Haven’t tested it but it should be something similar to gap on corellaser
Nice to hear. In the meantime, I wrote a Laser gcode postprocessor for Vectric Aspire and use their CAM to offset for kerf. I’ve currently set it as a bit with 4 thou diameter but will tune as needed later. Considering the dxf spline issues I’ve been getting with inventor, Vectric has been the only way to go.
+Peter van der Walt I was hoping it might have been a future feature. Even better to hear that image resolution won’t matter.
+Peter van der Walt Wow thanks! You’re like a genie in a bottle. Can’t wait to try it.
@raykholo would you share your postprocessor for aspire? I use vcarvePro for CNC and would like to try it for Laserweb. Thx.
