I have a Gen 2 Elite Journeyman with 80mm spindle. I use the RealTime controller with a laptop. I have experience with a recent version of Lightburn and an old 10W Elegoo/Arduino controlled laser system. That was pretty seamless… and intuitive. I have an opportunity to purchase a J-Tech laser to add to my system. I primarily use Fusion for CAD and CAM when I’m carving and printing my designs. Any comments or gotchas that I should be aware of before I invest in this relatively expensive, but no longer supported, laser system. Thanks in advance.
