I am working on a project with very fine detail. I am making several passes, the software seems to want to cut each peice of the detail individually before moving on to the next detail. How can I tell Lightburn to pass over the entire piece with each pass?

If normal optimization settings don’t help, consider using sub-layers to further refine.

And, as always, use preview playback mode to reduce scrap while tinkering with this type of thing

Lightburn Super Trick

Hello to all. Instead of making multi-pass cuts in intricate details where laser burns the same segment over and over again and that sometimes leads to material burn… You can automatically make 1 pass cut plus 1 pass cut plus 1 pass cut and so on to let material cool a bit. Using Lightburn sub-layers like in the enclosed example. It take a few seconds more but gives much better results. At the end of the job start the job again (3 times in this case) or use cut job with 9 cloned sub-layers, …

Thanks Chris… Sub-Layers did the trick
