Something I would like to see is preset on the laser side. Like if there is a material I use a bit, and I pretty much got the numbers down. It would be nice to just load the preset vs just changing a number of things each time (like speed, dot, and power).
I vote for it too. It is annoying and error prone to set the settings again and again manually, especially if you have several layers with different process settings on each layer.
Add my vote as well. This is very problematic that there is no easy way to repeat the the most recent job settings.
Using the 10W laser, while it takes a few clicks, I can repeat a job without a time consuming focus and origin (home) setup. But the IR laser doesnāt have the same behavior.
Ideal Product Feature: When selecting a file/job, have a button that says āRepeat last runā - which immediate goes to the prior home setting and focus configuration.
Less ideal: Have the same workflow as the 10W laser and allow a āmanualā focus setting that recalls the settings from the final run.
If you have Lightburn and use a repeatable origin (basically making a hard corner to put your projects in) you can follow my guide. My workflow pretty much consists of just measuring my material, throwing it on the bed in the corner, doing a small āsketchā in lightburn to represent my material, do up the project, export the gcode file, and drag/drop onto my sender file and off it goes all automagically. If I want to repeat a project, I just drag/drop the same gcode file and it does the exact same thing.
Hereās some new updated corners that are more reliable as well for setting origin;
