Hello,
I am currently building a new CNC Machine (primary milling) which is using PlanetCNC. I want to have a ‘powerfull’ diode laser on the Z Tower of the machine.
Can I use Lightburn for the Laser tasks on my milling machine with the PlanetCNC controller?

Since I want to order a diode Laser can yo give me any advice for a module with good quality? It should have ~20W power and air assist.

Thank you in advance!

A quick perusal of PlanetCNC indicates that it’s not likely that LightBurn would be able to control the device directly as it’s not a compatible controller.

This would limit you to potentially generating generic g-code from LightBurn and running on the native software. Right now there’s very limited configurability for the code that’s generated so if your machine had specific requirements it could require edits to the g-code before processing.
