Known Limitations (As of this writing)

  • GCode specific: The "Layer Sort" function for non-DSP controllers requires the laser to support $32 (laser mode). Not all DIY controllers do.
  • EzCad Bridge: You cannot run EzCad natively and LightBurn Bridge simultaneously. You must close one or the other.

2. Improved Wireframe and Preview Modes

The "Wireframe" view allows users to see exactly where the laser head will travel before hitting the start button. The 1.7 branch optimized the rendering engine for this view. In 1.7.04, these previews are faster and less resource-intensive, which is a massive benefit for users running LightBurn on older laptops or lower-spec computers. LightBurn 1
