Can I move the laser head height for focusing using v2.1.01 like I do with ezcad3?

[robertosjewelryandpawn (Roberto Plascencia)]

Can I control Galvo laser head height with v2.1.02 to focus? I have no issues changing height using ezcad3, but I really want to move to Lightburn as my main software.

I have a Custom Built Galvo Fiber laser machine for doing 2.5 and 3D engraving suing EZCAD3 JCZ DLC2-M4-2D controller; using JPT M7 100W laser source.

Initial EZCad3 Support

This one has been years in the making — LightBurn now supports EZCad3-based Galvo lasers.

Our initial support provides the same level of control that we have for EZCad2-based lasers — all standard marking options, rotary control, and split marking.

We also support Z Axis jogging for EZCad3 based lasers, and we will add support for automatic Z stepping during jobs in a future update.

It’s important to note that EZCad3 support is a “Labs” feature in LightBurn 2.1. That means we’ve done lots of testing in house to make certain it’s ready to go public, but we also know it needs a bit more polish before it’s complete. Please use with care, and report any unexpected results on our forum or by email.

Are you asking for just focus, or Z adjust during the engraving job as well? The z-height for EZCad3 is already working as far as I know, with more coming in the next update. Z-adjust during a job will be a bit longer.
