    I recently purchased a Creality 10W Falcon Laser Engraver Module system for my Ender 3 3D printer. I haven't used it yet but was wondering if i could use my cnc to run the laser. I mean the principle is the same (right) you have to design a project but instead of a 3D model that you would either CNC out or 3D print it would be 2D model. My question could the Blackbox and Controller operate this setup with some modifications to the wiring. I know the BlackBox can operate a laser system. Openbuilds isn't selling any licenses for LightBurn right now, hoping this changes soon. But anyways just looking for some input please.
    And Thank you in advance.

    Thanks in advance

    Laser mode on for laser jobs. Laser mode off for other tools. Create easy to activate macro, or include $32=0 / $32=1 in relevant CAM settings to do it for you
