Cut Settings Display
One of MakerVault’s most useful features for laser cutter users is the ability to see LightBurn cut settings at a glance, without opening the file in LightBurn.
What’s displayed
Section titled “What’s displayed”For each cut layer in a LightBurn file, MakerVault shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Layer index | The layer number (0, 1, 2, …) |
| Name | Custom layer name (e.g., “Tumblers”, “C02150”) |
| Type | Scan (engrave), Cut, or Line |
| Speed | mm/s speed setting |
| Min Power | Minimum power percentage |
| Max Power | Maximum power percentage |
| Interval | Line interval for scan operations |
| Priority | Processing order |
Where to see it
Section titled “Where to see it”Cut settings appear in three places:
- File detail panel — The “LightBurn” section shows a table of all cut layers
- Spacebar preview — The metadata sidebar includes cut settings
- Expanded file row — The metadata column shows cut settings inline
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”Makers often have hundreds of LightBurn files with different cut settings for different materials. Being able to see “this file uses 300mm/s at 35% power on a Scan layer called Tumblers” without opening LightBurn saves significant time when you’re looking for the right settings to reuse.
