So I’ve ran my laser on a few long projects and noticed it dwells for 5 seconds before making a move then another 5 seconds before shooting the laser. I found “G4 P8” in my code and replaced them all with “G4 P1” thinking it would take the dwell time down to 1 second but nothing has changed. Is there a way to bypass this function or is this by design for accuracy?
Where did find this and what generated the g-code?
How are you running the g-code? Are you running this offline?
LightBurn never uses G4 for typical operation.
Have you enabled “Start pause time” or “End pause time” in the Advanced tab of the Cut setting? If so, revert both of those back to 0.
You have laser mode enabled?
I believe the issue I was having was in start and end pause time. I thought it was disabled after I disabled cut though but I have to change the times back to 0 in order for it to not pause in between the beginning and end of each line of code. I’ll check in and let you know if this fixes it.
That solved my problem. Everything is now working as intended. Thank you.
