The Sticker tool for the cutter is great.
What would be just as great is the ability to use a similar function to make a border for laser images to have a laser cut contour following frame around them.
If I understand your request correctly, you would like to trace a contour around your laser image but I suppose you want to leave a little space between the image and the contour like if it was a sticker. If that’s the case, I think I found a way to do it.
You open your image in bambu suite and you click “sticker” in the menu, you select thin as the frame, it will draw the contour around the image (you can also add “cut inner holes”), you click confirm.
You right-click on the image and select “copy”, you move somewhere else and click “paste”
Now on that copy you right-click and select “merge”
You now click on the original image, you click on “undo sticker”, you click the original again and you select “laser image” as process type (or “laser fill” or “laser line” depending on your design).
You click on the merged copy and you select “laser line” as process type (or “laser cut” if you plan to cut around the contour).
You drag that outline around your original image.
In the right pane with the control key you select both image and path, you do a right-click and select “Attach”
Now you go to prepare and the preview should show what you were looking for
I tried to follow this, but it didn’t work out. I can’t turn the print then cut with the sticker tool into a laser cut or laser line, it just doesn’t give the option on right click. Thanks for the idea.
playing around a bit more, I tried using the offset tool to make the border I wanted, then in the top right of the window I changed the drop down for it from laser fill to laser cut. I think this will achieve my goal, but it certainly isn’t as elegant as the sticker button.
Try again you must have missed one step, most certainly to click “undo sticker” on the original image prior to select “laser”
I tried again and it works
