I’m experiencing an issue in LightBurn when using the Offset Fill mode.
On a specific design, an unexpected artifact appears between the letters “N” and “T” in the word “GARANTI.”
This artifact does not exist in the original vector file and does not show up in any other fill mode.
Here are the details:
The issue only occurs when using Offset Fill
Other modes (like Line Fill) do not produce this problem
The text has been checked and appears clean (no overlapping nodes or stray paths)
The artifact is visible in the preview and would be engraved
I’ve attached a screenshot showing the issue in preview mode.
If you look at the vectors for the T and the N you’ll likely find a small segment that overlaps itself, and that will cause issues with Offset Fill.
Having said that, Offset Fill was not intended to just use for everything. The best thing you could do for the quality of this piece is engrave everything except the ovals using a normal Fill mode set to “Fill Shapes Individually”, and then run just the ovals with another layer set to Offset Fill.
If you attach the lbrn project file to your post someone can have a look for the error.
I use offset fill very often, and this is the first time I’ve seen a difference in the preview when switching between the two without changing anything.
I add File + Preview, thanks
