I managed to catch the USB cable between my laptop and Ortur LM3 ripping it out 47% through a 3 hour engraving. Is there a way of restarting the job at 47% or have I lost it?

      There are a few strategies to recover a job. Without seeing what you’re dealing with it’s hard to say but the most straightforward approach may be using the “Start here” feature in Preview.
      
      Jog the controls to the point in the Preview where you want to restart, then push “Start here”. This assumes that your machine is capable of precise homing and that you haven’t moved the work material. If you have moved anything or cannot get reliably precise homing, then you’ll first have to come up with a realignment strategy.
      
      Post a screenshot of the design and a photo of how far you got if you’re looking for more specific guidance.
