    I installed a small laser to my 3d printer, which is being controlled via the fan control.

    I love your page/tool CAM and already got it to work better than with any software I tried before (LightBurn; Inkscape extensions, Creality Workshop,...)

    However, I cannot find an option to tell the laser to turn off when traveling (M106 S0 or really low). Not in the tool / documentation or any thread.

    Is there someone with experience who can tell me if it is possible, and if how I can set it up (without having to add it to the gcode in every travel line)?

    Thanks in advance and Best regards

    Its meant for use with Grbl v1.1 Laser Mode
    Ie. G0 = move, G1/2/3 = cut.

    You need a controller / firmware that complies

    So no known quick&dirty work around?
