I found that between the two there is a difference in the way the engraving turns out and the power and speed settings are totally different between fill and offset fill. Like you said you need to test. Actually, test, test test is more like it. Good to know what the different settings are in Lightburn.
Hey Jay, it definitely takes lots of testing and the result between fill and offset fill can be quite different - especially on larger items. I appreciate you watching and for the comment. Take care - Dave.
I would recommend using flood fill instead. It avoids white space to cut down on traversal time and it produces an even engrave. it won't be the most efficient in every situation but it does give a better engrave over offset fill. offset fill has a problem where depending on your project if the laser has to spend a lot of time in a small area that area will engrave deeper than the others, flood fill does not suffer from this problem
I appreciate the recommendation. The best part of having a channel is gaining insight from viewers, which helps me to get better. I will run some tests with both. Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment. Take care - Dave.
