Notice: Compatibility with LightBurn
Please be aware that LightBurn is a third-party software and may not be fully compatible with the M1. Specifically, its working principle lies in the configuration of GCode coordinates rather than sending direct commands to M1, as xTool Creative Space (XCS) does. Hence, incompatible issues may arise.
For a more stable and seamlessly compatible experience, it is recommended to use XCS.

1. Open LightBurn, click Devices on the Laser panel
2. Click Import to import the file you just downloaded “xTool_M1.lbdev”.
3. The following device information will be displayed after the file is successfully imported.
It's okay if you don't get "Bluetooth Incoming", just make sure you have M1.
Focal length(n)=17-the thickness of material(mm)
Enter【n】to the G0 Z-n command.
For example, if the thickness is 3 mm, then the focal length is 14, and the command is G0 Z-14
Then save the file as GCode
Note: The file placement position in LightBurn needs to be consistent with the actual engraving position (the processing material needs to be placed at (0,0). Please set Start From to Absolute Coords.
The processing position is affected by the actual position of the processing material.
We suggest that you test several times to figure out the correlation between the position on canvas and the actual processing position.
