Maximum 11 sub-layers, I want more!

LightBurn Software Questions

1

I’m engraving stainless steel, 1.7mm thick. I do 1x pass deep engraving full power, then a cleaning pass. I can do 11 sub-layers with the current version of Lightburn. Is there a way to have more sub-layers (like 50) so I can engrave deeper. I don’t want to create two layers because that leaves room for error bouncing from one layer to the next and back and forth.

I quite like the sub-layers feature but I want like 50 sub-layers. Is there a way to do multiple (like 20+) deep cuts and cleaning passes without creating two layers.

Not sure I follow what you mean here.

You can set a layer with a single pass for your cut then a sub layer for a clean.

From the outer menu, you can tell it how many times you need to run the group.

I think you need to re-think how you’re doing this. I think have that ability obfuscates the layer operation…

If you look to the top right to Feature Suggestions, you can post the idea there and it will be examined. We can all vote on it.

You can set global passes independently from passes per layer. e.g. layer one full depth one pass, layer 2 cleaning pass. Set global passes to 50, you get 50 iterations of (1 full power, 1 cleaning).

Or 4 passes on full power , 1 pass on cleaning, at 50 global passes will give you 200 full power, interspersed with 50 cleaning passes.

Here is our documentation for setting ‘Global Passes’.

I guess I should add this is how I do my sublayers

  1. Deep Cut
  2. Cleaning
  3. Deep Cut
  4. Cleaning
  5. Deep Cut
  6. Cleaning
  7. Deep Cut
  8. Cleaning
  9. Deep Cut
  10. Cleaning
  11. Annealing (blackening)

So what I want to do is have like 30 deep cuts and cleaning THEN do an annealing. I don’t want to create more than one layer to get the final pass as annealing.
