Looks like you’re enjoying the learning experience. I’d love to have one but it’s not practical at my age. With your vast creative talent there is no stopping you. Looking forward to following your progress!

Thank you so much for your details!!!

Alley Picked logo looks so good!

Great wee bit of content mate, thanks for this 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gret really helpful - thanks.

Thanks for the quick and concise review! Looking at this to buy.

😃👍Danke für das Video. Viel gelernt

Great review about a very good laser machine.

Best projects demo right to the point🙌🙌excellent. New follower here from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Thanks for the video. I was on the fence about getting one but will put my order in now.

GReat Overview!!!

I mounted (screwed) my laser on 6" plywood risers. This allows me to place a small table if I need to cut or engrave thinner materials. I remove the table if I need to use for higher material. It's really fast to switch between several thicknesses of material.

Very interesting 👍🏻

For glass engraving, try using soot from a candle to matte the glass to etch it.

Machine laser ❤️

Every time I hear the chime play I think it’s time for me to turn the page in my story book.

Looking at buying Trees 30w air assisted for a multi a is setup. Basically same thing you have slightly more power. I believe they said it cuts up to 1/2” plywood with air assist, of course it also does engraving. They want $669 and I’ve seen some 20w around the $230 price. It is getting up there where my goal is eventually a 1500w or 2000w fiber for $2500 but I’m not quite ready to take that leap plus this project wouldn’t need that kind of power.

Check out the Roly lasermatic10. It’s far simpler to use and is fully contained comes with a rotary and enclosure. The way you have yours setup will probably need to be cleaned a lot.

Maybe someone has already commented on this, but the thing with extension legs is that they have to be resistant to any wobbling. Otherwise the laser head jerking back and forth will make the whole machine wobble, making your cuts fuzzy.

Finally a video that has answered my personal questions.. I believe I now know what model I am going to purchase for what I want to do... Have you personally thought about adding the IR laser module as an after purchase for engraving metal ?

hello friend I found your tips great with what paint to use on glass

May I ask how you created the grid lines to square up your projects? I’m still learning my d1pro and the free software so any help would be greatly appreciated. I made a spoil board just like yours with the leg cutouts but I’d like to engrave the grid lines like you did. Thanks for the video!

Thanks, I am new to the xTool D1-20w. It's nice to see someone using the XCS software to create. I have a Mac and LaserBurn does not like Mac's. Great video. (Where do I find the setting for the various materials?)

Get lab jacks to raise and lower the laser

many of us with diode lasers use rustolium 2x spray paint for the carrier medium

Great video thanks. Do you have any problems with smoke or smells without using an enclosure? Would you recommend an enclosure, or do you find it no issue / ok without one? Regards, Sam

How exactly did you make the grid?

Have You tried to cut MDF material? Cutting ideal, round holes in kitchen cabinet doors would make my current project a lot easier. Like this video. Nice job!

How do you find the center with the laser? I always frame the project but never seem to get it perfectly centered. I'm also using the same program as you

At 6:45 minutes . When you paint the surface of the wood , what is you setting to get a very nice black engraved letter ?

Iam looking into a laser cutters for cutting gaskets when need on the spot as they say! Can you make a video on this as there's I believe lots other people who's wondering the same as me??

70% power on glass engraving? at what speed?

the air assist is not for burn marks it makes cutting easier as it clears out the debris from the kirf

I want to get a laser machine. One thing I noticed. No one ever tells the selling price. I thought these lasers would cost a lot more. But the projects are endless. My biggest issue(s), Detail, I need very small with good to amazing detail. And I'll need a way to do round objects. X-Tool is in the running.

Please what are the setting you used to cut the leather perfectly using XCS. I use the XCS with my XTool D1pro 20W. I keep having issues when cutting leather. Sometimes it won’t cut through totally in some little parts another time i get the laser fire alarm beeping for caution. I don’t know what i am doing wrong. Please i will appreciate

Can you engrave a Name in a Paver or Brick as a memorial with this Laser?

Maybe the next model will do taxes too? Just kidding. Man this machine is awesome!

Do you have any smoke collection system setup?

Did you buy the laser or is this another promotional video?

Can you put Matt black vinyl wrap on glass or acrylic instead of paint? The vinyl can then be peeled off.

Do you think using some black card paper on the backside of the glass will work?

Can this be used to engrave/etch golf balls?

I have the xtool D1 but the laser keeps on drifting to the right, ever had that happen?

Hello! I have an Xtool like yours, and I would like to cut 925 silver plates with it... Do you know if it is possible...? Thanks in advance. lots of health

Are you located near Mt Olive, Il?

THAT's some cool stuff! And since "hobby store" was mentioned... LOL! And no, not trying to advertise or anything but I had ABSOLUTELY no idea. "Hobby Lobby" holds similar beliefs to those of Chick Fil-A: I guess the world system refers to them all as "deeply religious", even though Christianity's a relationship, not a "religion". Neat stuff! 👏

It was weird why you didn't use the laser to bore your holes in the leather

I wish xTool would make Creative Space as good if not better than Light Burn.

does anyone else get raised portions where the rings are on wood burning with their laser? How to make this go away?

Does it work on Metal to make jewelry pieces?

Can I engrave on plastic?

Can i use a sketch my great granddaughter did she is 13 amazing artist i want to put her sketches on wood can this be done. i’m told no i thinking someway at 79 not sure i’m in process of buying a laser

Hello! I am having issues with my Xtool D1 Pro Laser. I received it and tried it, the first try was perfect. Then the second time I tried it wouldn't work. The laser would move around but the laser light barely had any strength. It would move around as if it was doing the job and would take the amount of time the project would take, however there were no marks on the plywood or anything and the light was very very weak. You could barely see. I emailed customer service and it has now been a 3 month battle or recommendations and changes they want me to make which I have but nothing has solved the issue. I went ahead and tried another laser head which is the one for metals. I did 1 dog tag that came out beautiful. I went ahead and tried to do another dog tag....same thing happened....the light was too weak barely visible, the laser would move around as if it was doing de project but nothing would engrave. I didn't change anything on the setting from first project to second. I was working with pre establish material settings. Power speed and all was verified and still nothing. Do you have any idea what it could be or how to fix it?

What do you use to protect wood when you finish a proyect?

Nice video except no mention of any of the dangers of volatile compounds or laser risk to the eye. Someone could be using some fake leather and do some real damage to their lungs.

Could you just put colored paper behind the glass?

This video is brought to you by circles

These were complaints not projects

What’s up with this obsession with coasters? Is it a US thing? I don’t know why you would use one neither do I know anyone who uses them. Are they more intended as a piece of decoration than for actual use?

I don’t think you need to paint the glass… just engrave

Second part that astounds me, You used copyrighted materials without citing the book or author. You are stealing that person's artwork from copying from a book.

Its a toy and a waste of time

No, no, no, this is wrong. $1,000.00+ for a low-powered diode laser???? 😆 Not trying to cause any trouble, but for that money, you can get a much stronger CO2 laser, with faster and deeper cuts. For what it's capable of, it should not cost more than $500. Thanks for the video, though, and I hope you enjoy it.
