Lower Z after last layer completes

LightBurn Software Questions
1

Is there any way to add additional commands that would lower the Z on the bed of an OMTech laser after the last layer completes?

Assuming it has a Ruida controller, nope.

Because:

  • The controller returns the head to a preset location when it’s finished with a job
  • That location has no Z axis coordinate
  • It does not make a “Done!” notice available

The laser controllers are pretty firmly 2D, with only a rudimentary notion of moving the Z (or U, whatever) axis to a specific level at the start of each “layer” of XY commands.

Sad, but AFAICT true.
