Pass Depth: This will move Z axis down by this amount for each pass. Passes: If cutting, this will repeat the entire path by the number of passes. Delay in ms for 3D printers and seconds for GRBL. It is used to heat up the material and initiate the burning process. Power On Delay: This will turn on the laser and wait to move until the delay is complete. If you don’t have PWM, keep at max power (either 255 or 12000). GRBL 0.9 and 1 standard, use a number between 0 (12000 being full power). For J Tech firmware and most 3D printers use a number between 0 and 255 (255 being full power). Laser Power: If you have PWM control, then you can adjust this. Laser Speed: The speed of the machine when the laser is ON in mm/min.

Travel Speed: The speed of the machine when the laser is OFF in mm/min. Laser OFF Command: The command for turning OFF the laser. Laser ON Command: The command for turning ON the laser. Here is a description of the features of the plug-in. The new plug-in allows for multiple commands for laser on and off for all the different versions of printers as well as the ability for multiple passes for cutting. We will cover a couple of common items that you can do in inkscape and then use with your laser. This tutorial will go over how to create drawings and text in inkscape and then create the G Code file needed to run on your 3D printer or CNC machine.
