Hello all and thanks for your time.
I use Vectric software for my CNC machine and just bought 2 laser engravers from Fox Alien. they are a Reizer Mega and a LE4040Pro.
The Mega uses a 40w laser and the LE4040Pro uses a 20w laser. Both are GRBL controlled.
I am curious if anyone has tried using the laser module add-on with either of these machines?

Re: Laser Module with FoxAlien Lasers
Did you ever get an answer? I am looking into the same thing right now. I am having a lot of trouble finding a solid answer.

Simplest thing to do is to download the trial and see.
There are three different GRBL machines supported "out of the box" but that doesn't mean GRBL based hardware that isn't one of those will work but it doesn't mean it won't either. Generally you would need to modify/create a post processor to reflect how your machine controls the laser.

Thanks Adrian,
I went ahead and got the software. It works well with my Foxalien 4040. I just need to do a little adjusting on the Laser tool settings for feeds and speeds.
