Adding layer focus parameter

[roncpa (Paolo)]

Is it possible to add a focus parameter for each layer? It coud be a percent for out of focus burning, where 0 is in focus and + or - could be for slightly putting the beam out ot focus. This can improve offset fill or enlarge line size with a single pass

I don’t know if I understood correctly, but you can enable the z axis and set a different z-offset for each layer or even for each pass:

Check out this post from w while ago. I had this same question and did some research on how it works and what issues you may run into.

Z Axis Offset for Different Layers

I was wondering if anyone has used the Z Axis Offset. I assume with this you can adjust the Z axis height for each individual layer for cutting or engraving. Example: Layer 1 is engrave, set z axis for engrave height. Layer 2 is cut move laser down for cutting I have a job that has 3 Layers, The first layer is engrave, the second two layers are cut. So i would set the depth of cut manually for the first layer which is engrave before i start the job. On the second layer i set the Z Axis Offset…

Hello, thanks for your replay, also Melvin pointed out that the possibility is already there..
With this we can obtain larger engravings without using multiple passes.
