Hello, I have to cut small parts. I have a slide under the cutting table inside the printer, so a cutted piece is sliding into a box, when its falling down.
Sometimes the laser starts the next one and a part of the sliding down piece is hitting the laser, so its gets a burning marking.
So I would like to set a delay between to parts of 1-2 seconds, so that the part can slide down and is not hitted by the laser.
Is that possible? Any ideas?

There is no delay feature, but in programming before on-chip clocks, we would create a do-nothing routine for the delay. On that note…
Add a second layer with a small circle out of the way. Set it for slow speed and 1% output power. Fiddle with the speed or number of passes until you get the delay you need.
Hey MikeyH, thanks for this tip. Maybe there is a feature I do not know.
The cutting is the black layer. When I add a “delay layer” in red, how can I configure, that after one piece of black comes the red delay layer and then again the black one?

I do not know how you have it set up to repeat. You can only have one black (C00) layer. Of course, you can duplicate the C00 into blue and the rest of the layers.
How do you trigger Lightburn to start the next cycle, or is it somehow automatic?
You can set an End Pause Time in the Advanced tab of the Cut Settings Editor.
My bad!!! I forgot about that.
I forgot to give you the information, that I engrave all pieces which will be cuttet out on the wood plate first.
Then the cutting starts. I have 50 pieces on one plate. So I can’t add one layer for every piece.
So maybe there is no real solution for me to add a waiting time after cutting one peace?
You won’t need separate layers for each piece — the Pause Time will be applied at the end of each individual shape that’s cut.
