Changing Modes with Macros In Lightburn
This video shows how to make macros in Lightburn to change the acceleration of the machine. Doing a Raster based engraving you can go a lot faster with minimal vibration. For line mode, you might need to reduce the acceleration to get cleaner and more detailed finish on the engraving.
