Lightburn 1.7.04 |top|

: Fixes a few "oops" moments from earlier 1.7 builds, such as buttons in the Art Library that were accidentally flipped during a code refactor.

: This version fixes several minor issues identified in previous 1.7.x iterations. Galvo Compatibility

Prior to the 1.7 architecture, xTool lasers (such as the D1, D1 Pro, and S1) relied heavily on standard GRBL compatibility modes. Version 1.7.04 implements crucial refinements to the native xTool communication protocols:

Starting with LightBurn 2.0, the minimum requirements rise to Windows 10 (build 1809) and macOS 11 (Big Sur), and Linux support is discontinued. Therefore, users on older systems should remain on the 1.7.x branch indefinitely. LightBurn 1.7.04

For laser engraving enthusiasts and professionals alike, few software updates generate as much anticipation as a new release from the LightBurn team. The release of marks a significant step forward in the software's lifecycle, acting as a crucial refinement to the major features introduced in the 1.7 branch.

Users of large-format CO2 lasers (4'x8' beds) often crashed LightBurn when importing 100mb SVG files. Version 1.7.04 rewrites the rasterization engine.

After launching 1.7.04 fresh, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Import Backup . Point to the .zip file you created. Your lasers will re-appear instantly. : Fixes a few "oops" moments from earlier 1

The team at LightBurn has rolled out version 1.7.04, marking another step forward in the evolution of the premier laser cutting software. While the major 1.7 update brought us the highly anticipated Internal Node Editor and UI overhauls, version 1.7.04 focuses on tightening the bolts, squashing persistent bugs, and ensuring a smoother workflow for diode, CO2, and Galvo users alike.

: Includes powerful vector editing and image tracing tools that allow users to convert pixel-based images into clean vector paths for cutting and engraving. Version 1

: Support for serial communication protocols, including features like DTR (Data Terminal Ready) for specific controllers to manage data flow between the computer and laser. Compatibility

Using an xTool laser via native GCode commands often suffered from parsing bugs caused by xTool’s internal firmware. LightBurn 1.7.04 introduces direct software-side workarounds:

We tested on three common laser configurations:

Yes, LightBurn is highly compatible with GRBL controllers, which are common in DIY and hobbyist diode laser engravers.
