Thinking of buying Xtool M1 Ultra. Is it currently supported by Lightburn? If yes, howto? Any links?
This is the only mention of Lightburn:
“M1 Ultra is a versatile craft machine. Lightburn is primarily designed for laser use, and connecting it would disable many features and result in a poor experience. Please use our official XCS software for the best performance.”
If memory serves me right, xTool does not play well with Lightburn. Even when Lightburn figures something out, xTool will change the software and break it.
Bolting a laser on a CNC machine is a compromise. Imagine what you get with a 4-in-1 design.
Here is another capture from a Google search:
" Common complaints about the xTool XCS software include: frequent crashes, lagging performance, issues with material selection and parameter settings, inaccurate camera positioning, difficulty with complex vector paths, pixelation in engraved results, inconsistent user interface changes across updates, and a lack of advanced features compared to other laser cutting software like Lightburn, often leading to frustration with precision and workflow efficiency."
