While Vectric does not officially support your CNC I don't see anything that would prevent it from working. Just remember the change you made to the post processor and make sure the GRBL post processor you choose supports laser mode

Re: Laser module with 3018 Pro?
I purchased the laser module in hopes that it would work on my machine. I have a 3018 Pro which I rebuilt to a 3036 Pro. Well, the software works great. I have to do a little tweaking in the code for some things that are not in your software but it works. I noticed that the speed always comes out to S250 so I just do a find and replace to a S3000 so that my laser doesn't burn the material.
There may be a couple of other things like line spacing etc. but so far it works on my machine.
If Vectric sees it in their scope of machines to support then the 3018Pro would be a good start since it's basically the beginners CNC/Laser machine out there.
