Hi there, I'm trying out some test cuts with my newly set co2 laser and am having a problem that I haven't yet read about. In the picture attached is a sample where at one point the laser isn't switching off when crossing to another isolated area to cut (shown in red). This is the 3rd test I'm doing with a different design. I am sure the design is correct, but not so sure if there are further settings I need to do during exporting from LighBurn to GCode or during importation into UCCNC with the Lightburn loader. Since I am not sure, I am reluctant to conclude that there's something wrong with the either the Lightburn software or the plugin.
Has anyone ever experienced or encountered this problem before and how did you solve it?
Regards
MartenG

Also another observation I failed to mention is that the laser fails to fire below the 30% power. Would i be correct to say that this is because there wouldnt be enoughhigh voltage to fire it up?
Thanks

Any chance to add some customization to this Plugin?

To eliminate faint engraved lines on the G0 moves, I need to add the following to my post processor (or just edit the UCCNC file output by the Plugin):

+---------------------------------------------------
+ Commands output when the jet is turned on
+---------------------------------------------------

begin JET_TOOL_ON

"M03"
"M10 [P]"

+---------------------------------------------------
+ Commands output when the jet is turned off
+---------------------------------------------------

begin JET_TOOL_OFF

"M11"
"M05"


For whatever reason the M11 command does not fully shut off the laser.

You can delete the post above. I've resolved the issue. Stupid setting conflict. I had the M3 relay pin set the same as the laser control pin. Duh!

Great job on the plugin!
