Engrave without covering whole project

Is there a way to set the machine to only engrave over the parts that are being engraved instead of the machine spanning the whole piece I’m trying to cut an engrave.

5 hours to engrave and cut these hexagons.
10 min to cut and engrave one single one
70 min if I did them each individually

would be a cool feature if you could engrave each location instead of it spamming the whole project line by line

Depends on how you set these in your cuts/layers window.

I guess I have not watched enough tutorials yet to get to that section of the settings.

Thank you!

Under the ADVANCED tab (from the same screen shot that @DSkall showed) you can also try FLOOD FILL. Try that on a preview screen and see how that works for ya.

Sometimes it makes a big difference, and sometimes little to none. I ALWAYS check it out if the project can tolerate it, like doing rocks.

Flood fill and Offset fill demand a slightly lower speed on my Ortur machine due to frame strength vs. laser head momentum. The fast direction changes can adversely effect the output.

Try everything, push every button. That is how I learned 80% of what I know in LB. Try it out :grin:
