How to turn off all Air?

In order to color my engravings using metal powder I need to turn off any air blowing/venting/...

The technique I want to use is engraved->out powder (without moving material)->engrave again with low power to melt the powder.

Turning off Air Assist is a no-brainer, but some other air venting is still turned on (using Lightburn), so when the head arrives in the area I want to engrave, a lot of the powder is blown away :-/

Edit Fixtures, Cues, ... for Botex Lumos I on PC?

The Botex Lumos I seems to be a pretty good tool. Non-Lightning guys can run live shows and some semi-automated sets can be run as well; everything more userfriendly than a pure "Fader only"-console but less expensive and space-consuming as big consoles.

The only thing I'm asking myself: Is there any possibility to do some basic editing on a real PC? Adding new fixtures, defining Cues, patching HW... in best case, people could be able to share their settings (exp. fixture libraries) among each other...

Has someone here already done such things?

What went wrong here?

From time to time such strange things happen: some kind of "wobbling" appears. It's just for one element.

Usually, I place 3 disks to engrave all with the same text. Sometimes all 3 are ok. Sometimes one of these looks like in the image (with this or another text), but never more than one.

​

I'm using a xTool S1 with the xtool driver.

​

Any ideas what's wrong here and how to fix?
