Lightburn New Release with G Code - Videos?

New Lightburn sales on AMAZON state that it will export G Code.
Does the latest release 14.## have this functionality?
Where can I see videos.
I am buying a Shapeoko Pro due in part that I can use Lightburn which I purchased for my Laser. FYI I called Carbide 3D (Shapeoko and they know nothing about this.
Strange - This could easily increase your sales!

Love Lightburn

You can export gcode by pressing “save gcode” button. If you have the gcode version of LightBurn, of course. I guess that function has been there for many years, maybe from the beginning. I can tell that it has been there for more than 3 years :slight_smile:

You can equip any machine with a mainboard that is compatible with LightBurn.

I know of no advantage of purchasing Lightburn from a laser vendor. I understand none of these companies get any kind of break in price…

You can run the free Lightburn trial for 30 days.


I’ve had it a few years and the save gcode button has been there… I don’t use it, so I wouldn’t really notice it.

Why would you want to save the gcode anyway?

Aaaand, as we’ve seen many times, fetching the executable file from anywhere other than the Official Site can lead to heartache & confusion.

Resellers are asked to not sell below the price listed on our website - so at best, you would pay par - though some resellers offer payment providers we do not.

Redistribution of the LightBurn binary (the installer file) is not allowed, and we do request the removal of these files when vendors include them with their devices. This generally ends up with an old version of LightBurn being distributed then the new user having to update to the latest version right off the hop - not the ideal user experience! Instead, we suggest the vendors include a shortcut link to our website so the newest (and OS-dependent) version can be downloaded directly.

I use this so that I don’t need my laptop connected to the laser while it spends 6 hours engraving. :stuck_out_tongue:
