Hello, I would like to know if Lightburn is working on compatibility with Sculpfun 9.
The advertisement or site I looked at stated:
6. User-Friendly Application
the G9 engraver is also compatible with Lightburn software
The problem is that page has mixed information. Several places say Lightburn. But in the comparison table it lists Lightburn for the Xtool and laserpecker but not for the sculpfun. Also the FAQ at the bottom says “Can the G9 now be used with Lightburn software? Not yet. The Lightburn team is still working on resolving some issues during development. The software can connect to the G9, but some features are currently incomplete. We recommend using the free SGD Laser software for now.”.
I’d like to get the G9, but I’m waiting to hear that it and Lightburn are working together first.
When the Chinese advise it isn’t supporting all the options, that’s vaporware and likely will never materialize. At least I wouldn’t count on it. Usually these are for specific functions that Sculpfun has added that are non grbl based.
I believe they just don’t tell Lightburn how to use these options. If it’s standard grbl, Lightburn should have no issues. If some features are currently incomplete, that means it’s not a standard grbl control.
It appears to me that the Chinese are not very forthcoming with how to do some of these features.
Only Lightburn can advise us if Sculpfun is actually cooperating with them…most of the time, this is big no.
Good luck
