You don't need two configurations, you can have both active in the same configuration, it's not a problem at all.

If you need help setting this up, don't hesitate to say.

This is interesting

The starting z hight can be a big difference ? or do you use a switch to choose ?

Starting Z height is something you handle in your gcode file, it's generally not a big deal.

Hello,

i dont see how you fix this. With 3d printing you start on the bed as z 0.2 with laser the workpiece has a tickniss you maybe dont now. Do you a measerment before starting ?

Can you explane how you determine this solution ?

Thank you in advance
