I would like to use the 3D sliced function in LightBurn with my LaserPecker 4, but as stated here 3d Sliced function not found it is only available for galvo lasers. The LaserPecker 4 is a galvo laser.
Is there a way to be able to enable 3D sliced option?
I canāt tell you details but I can tell you why I think itās not availableā¦
Itās a grbl machine, that might be part of itā¦
I also donāt think itās related to being a galvo or notā¦ to my knowledge the co2 galvo doesnāt have it either.
You lasers isnāt going to go very deep, even with 256 passes.
This is 256 passes at 30% power on my fiberā¦
I think 3dslice was directed at fiber lasers onlyā¦

How do you like that machine?
The LaserPecker 4 is capable of cutting through aluminum soda can with the 2W pulsed 1064nm laser. With 25 passes it can cut through 0.1mm of aluminium. So it should also be able to engrave 3D sliced images. As it is a galvo laser, with both diode 450nm and 1064nm it would be nice to be able to at least try the 3D slice feature in LightBurn. I think more and more hybrid galvo lasers will come to the market with even stronger 1064nm lasers. So eventually more people will ask for it.
To implement the already existing 3D slice feature to other lasers than just fiber, wouldnāt be that hard, would it?
Thatās part of the issueā¦ I donāt know how the 3dslice function works in concert with the rest of Lightburn.
In the link I posted, Oz advised that fiber lasers work differently, the purpose of the 3dslice option.
As far as I know, being a galvo has nothing to do with itā¦ itās the lasersā sourceā¦ Donāt get sidetracked because itās a galvoā¦ Co2 galvo lasers canāt make use of it either. The way the laser is moved is irrelevant to why/how the 3dslice function was implemented. It should work on a gantry fiber laserā¦ where there is no galvo. The only thing the laserpecker has in common with a fiber is the lasers operating frequency.
I think Lightburn would have to answer your question. You have far passed my knowledge of the innards of Lightburnā¦ even I may have made assumptionsā¦
Maybe @JohnJohn can give you a more satisfying explanation of why itās not there for the laserpeckerā¦
I understand your argument, from the actual operating at that frequencyā¦ so Iām curious if there is more involvedā¦
I posted this asking about the laserpecker 4 in May of this year, but no one respondedā¦ Maybe that will change.
Hang in thereā¦
The link is not working or private, I canāt open it
I am still waiting. Expect to be delivered this weekš¬
Sorry about thatā¦ itās in the galvo beta sectionā¦ Iāve copied his postā¦
Diodes have extremely good power linearity, and youāre generally just engraving wood or plastic, so use āGrayscaleā mode - thatās what itās for.
Grayscale mode does not work well for deep, consistent metal removal for galvos, so 3D slice was added for those machines. It was not āremovedā for diodes and CO2 systems, as they already have the grayscale mode to accomplish this.
Good luckā¦ let us knowā¦
