¶ Does the Gweike M-Series work with LightBurn?
Not as a released, supported M-Series connection. That is still true.
LightBurn staff said again on 14 September 2026 that they have an M-Series in the building for development, and still have no timeline:
LightBurn forum.
Earlier, on 7 April 2026, they already said they had a machine and no date (older thread).
I also have a direct note from Gweike. On 3 September 2026 they told me their software people planned to visit Jason (LightBurn’s CEO) in September or October to try to speed this up.
That is movement. It is not “it works in LightBurn today.”
This is M-Series only. A G2 that talks to LightBurn Galvo does not make your M3 a LightBurn machine.
¶ What to use now
mLaser. Keep the installer and the original parameter file from the crate. Draw in Fusion, Illustrator, whatever you like. Export something mLaser actually imports, then check units after import.
¶ Do not do this
- Pick a different Gweike name in LightBurn because it showed up in a dropdown.
- Flash firmware or poke service parameters to force a connection.
- Download a “driver” from a forum that wants you to disable interlocks.
If LightBurn ever ships this for real, I will update this page the same day I run a coupon on my Ultra with emission off first. Until then: MLaser.
