I plan on getting the xtool d1pro 20w laser in the next week or so, however, i need to make sure that Lightburn can use all the capabilities and I can use all of lightburn capabilities, i know they are a proprietary company.
However, if anyone has a better recommendation for a 20W laser that is great and within the D1Pro that fully supports lightburn, I am open to hear about it.
I would hate to spend money on something that i’ll end up regretting later.

Thank you

      I’ll address specifically the question about xTool ↔ LightBurn capability.
      
      Basically any of the xTool machines are a take it or leave it proposition from the perspective of LightBurn use. Specifically, you have no ability to change any of the configuration in the machine. So for example, if the machine is accelerating too quickly for the quality of burn that you want there’s no way to change this. If you extend the bed size there’s no way to change this from within LightBurn.
      
      There are certain things that you can change configuration wise from XCS but are not accessible from LightBurn. This includes enabling/disabling the red crosshairs, activating the extended bed size if you install the extension add-on, and perhaps other things I’m unaware of.
      
      In terms of general operation LightBurn can communicate with the machine and instruct it without fuss although some people have a hard time getting communication initially working. If you experience no issues with the machine performance then the gap in functionality may be a complete non-issue.
