Hey everyone…
There have been several threads on stray or lazy lines that show up in laser projects and I’ve had the same problem on a couple of mine.
I did some experimenting and found that the stray lines were showing up when there is more than one toolpath saved in a single project whether that is two separate toolpaths or is one toolpath repeated in an array.
I reached out to the good people at J Tech with some samples of what was happening and the GCode files that generated them and they were able to come up with a fix!
They have updated their Onefinity post processor to cause the laser to shut off when repositioning between toolpaths. I reran the example job I sent them with the new post processor and it works like a champ!
I’m sure they will put the new version of the post processor up on their site soon, but until they do, I’m attaching the ones they sent me to try it out with.
