3D sliced image engraving on GRBL galvo laser (LaserPecker 4)

That’s part of the issue… I don’t 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 it… it’s the lasers’ source… Don’t get sidetracked because it’s a galvo… Co2 galvo lasers can’t 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 laser… 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 Lightburn… even I may have made assumptions…

Maybe @JohnJohn can give you a more satisfying explanation of why it’s not there for the laserpecker…

I understand your argument, from the actual operating at that frequency… so I’m curious if there is more involved…


I posted this asking about the laserpecker 4 in May of this year, but no one responded… Maybe that will change.

Hang in there…
