Instead of using paint thinner (which is chemically designed to thin oil based paints), you should be using acetone for spray paints where they are ether based. Plus, you wash off the waste into a plastic or metal container, not down your drain where it will pollute your water system (either town water or your water table if you have a leach field).

What a great video with a positive message. I’ve just bought an xTool D1 pro and thought what the heck I’ll get all the accessories! Just working it out now. I must admit, as a total fresher there’s a lot of trial and error required. So appreciate these kinds of instructional and ideas videos.

It's a cool gadget and I wouldnt mind it but its things like this that takes out the soul of working with wood - I like when things aren't 100% prefet, when things arent looking the same, when someone put a lot of work and love in it

I am new to this product and found it exceptionally helpful. I've watched others re: set up of the new unit including the build and you are heads above the rest. You said it's a long video, I find it to be the most informative and I appreciate you covering all the bases.

I run a laser engraver for a lot of stuff at my job and I've always said it would be cool to have one at home, I need one of these! 😂

Thank you thank you thank you Matt!!! I have been waiting for this video for two months since I receive my XTool D1 and F1. My software was part of the demo stage and they have definitely upgraded it. I greatly appreciate your video and now I feel more confident. Thank you very much.

Use masking tape over anything you want to test run. You will have to lower your speed and power but once you get it dialed in just to mark it and not cut through, it works perfectly. I use blue masking tape because the marking turns out better.

Instead of using a masking paint that requires thinner or acetone to remove try using water washable tempera paint. Some people brush it on but I invested less than $100 on a Harbor Freight airbrush compressor/air brush set. Apply the tempera paint, let it dry, engrave your image and wash it off with water. That simple!

Thanks for this detailed video! I’m going to finally unbox mine tomorrow. I really appreciate you providing us with the settings you used, so helpful.

TY for the video. Your video is professionally done and you are very articulate and make it fun to watch. Keep up the great work. Big Fan.

It’s always great to see a fellow creative champion & encourage others to make their mark! Maybe a small pun intended, lol…FANTASTIC videos & now I completely want one! Btw, by any chance do you have a separate photography channel?

I was on the fence for the whole laser idea. But after your video and the release of the 20 watt laser, I’m buying a 20w tomorrow!

Interesting. A little research into prices however tells me the xtool engraver is about 1000x the price of other engravers.

Awesome video , thank you for all the info can't wait to see more on how to use ImagR for pictures.

hi there im enjoying your videos alot but was wondering would it not be better to use water based paint as it would be easier to wash off?

All this was done on a 10w? Nice! I just got a 10w from Comgrow and it's running well. I hope to get a 20w D1 Pro in Ironman Red one day..

I suggest you don't try selling anything with superheroes on it unless you want to be sued. 😉 Please don't think that because 4000 other Etsy shops are doing it that you're going to be lucky and not get caught. It's not worth losing everything you've worked so hard to build.

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?

This video is what I needed!!! Can't wait to try it out. Thank you so much for taking the time to showi us.

I cant get this laser to do anything!!! Im sobbing as I type this. So much for xmas presents using this thing!

I see lots of video they all say the same, not tell you how or what file you use to get into Laser Box.

What a great tool

Wow great video, unfortunately I already bought it so I could not use the link but once I am ready for the additions I will. Thank you for the work yo've done.

Awesome video. Straight forward and very informative.

Thanks for the video. Why did you cover the Mason jar with caulk paint before engraving?

It is such a good laser. A great tool to any creatives tool set!

thank you for sharing the knowledge and experence.. much appreciated

Looking at the image for the tumbler on the screen it looked correct, whey did it engrave mirrored?

N you go over a second time for a deeper etch

I know nothing about engraving so stupid question, if once done you went over it again without moving the tile, would it engrave deeper?

Your right! I'm buying one for sure now!!!! ha. Great video.

Matt I also have a question about how to get my business started with the XTool laser. Any ideas? And how did you know that the hammer that you engraved would sell for about $40?

Like the video and hope you come out with more for the d1 pro

Mske laser etching great again .

Love your video! Newbie question, how do you know which surface requires a coat of paint/lacquer before etching?

Nice vid. Why don't you have a honeycomb bed? Also, the Atomstack air assist works and is much cheaper. 😉

I've had mine for about 4 months and I am very happy with it. I have the 5 watt version, the 10 watt seems like it does cut better so maybe soon I'll upgrade to the 20 watt module.

Hi, does anyone know how to make lasered creations on the xtool colored? It's advertised as being able to engrave 340+ colors but I can't find anything on how to make the colors appear...

Wouldn't it be better to lower your speed and lower your power usage? The faster it moves the less time it has to engrave the hit area.

Which would you recommend for a newbie to get best deal today on cyber Monday?

Why do you mix paint thinner and water? Paint thinner should never go down your drain.

Great video and explanations. I have a graphic and 3d design background and am really thinking of getting this to complement my 3d printing. Thanks for the video

Do you recommend air ventilation or if I use in garage, I should not be worried? Do I need air assist also with this laser engraver? Thanks

Which wattage laser was this D1? I couldn't find it anywhere in your description or the video.

Looking good, dude!

Can I ask where you got the mason jar from? I've been trying to find round jars but all I can find is the jars with beveled edges (more like an octagon shape)

Looking for the test file. Great video.

I was a laser operator in a small steel factory for many years. At home I had a CNC plasma cutter and have made tons of art projects with it. I am interested in this product but my garage is not heated. Would the below freezing temps wreck the machine? Thanks for the video.

I didn't see a mention on what you are using as an air filter

Thanks for your video, I'm thinking about get one of this laser machine. Could you tell me why did you paint the mason jar and them took the paint off?

Can you engrave phones or electronics as well??

Great video I’m thinking about buying one

I want to do coffee tables - how do I find one with a frame large enough to cover a decent sized wooden coffee table?

How long will it take to write names or a few words on phone cases , adapters with this machine?

What is the difference between the default blue laser and the xTool 21064nm infra red laser? They quote that the infra red laser is used to engrave metals and similar materials. But you can do that with the blue one too. Does it just work a lot better?

Great Vid!! I get mine tomorrow.... quick question... (I'm a rookie) why do you paint the tiles & jar pre laser??

What did you do to get the picture of Ray Liotta to turn out well. I'm trying photos but I'm having a difficult getting them to work properly

Brilliant video with great tips thanks 👍 I can't see the link for the tile test pattern mentioned in the video however 🥺

Did ya' get a phone call from Disney lawyers? lol

Thank you! I will probably buy this! Do you know if this can be used inside @120v? Thanks

On the portrait did you change the grayscale? Or just steering you show on the video? Thank you for your tips!

Does anyone have or know where to get a chart for XTool 10watt Cutter, that shows basic power and speed settings. I'm burning up a lot of material trying to find just the right settings. If you have one can you put a link so us beginners have a plase to start

How did you detect the d1 on laserbox? It’s looking for the laser box machine when I installed laserbox and trying to detect the engraver

How does it know to etch versus cut right through material? Is that based on speed?

Great video. Thank you.

This was great man! What were the settings you honed in to get the Ray Liotta image??

I prefere the portable! : )

Can this cut a few millimetres deep into Lino? Specifically lino used for Lino prints? Shopping for a machine that can and would love to know if this has been tested with Lino.

but does this machine also do cnc work, if a person is going to pay 1,600.00 for this machine it should also do cnc work too, that a lot of money for a small machine?

Can we engrave portret on metal?

Great video, but your affiliate links don't work. Get a Page not found message from xTool. It would be interesting to know how long it takes for machine to do a tumbler and the reason for the paint on the mason jar and what paint was it you removed from the dog photo. Lots of little mysteries in the video but you are the best! Found you this morning and subscribed half way through.

Super cool!!! I wanna play with it!!!

Do you like laserbox software better than xtool creative? I’m also trying to get lightburn to work with my xtool d1pro 20w.

can you tell me if you can make a line width .013' and .050" deep

Can you use these machines on a 4x4 piece of wood?

what kind of table do you have? look great and sturdy

Great video, thanks. Can you link for me where to find the portable air filter that you have?

I am struggling to learn lightburn maybe I should try laserbox instead. One problem I am having is I think because there are to limit switches on the d1 it seems to slam into the outer edges and makes a awful noise when that happens. My question is how do I stop that from happening. Appreciate your encouraging video

What prepping did you have to do for wood portraits?

Looking for something for laser etching tools from small 8mm spanners up to large torque wrenches (at least 2ft long). Is this suitable?

Hey newbie here. Where do I download the software bc xTool has their own creative software. Thanks!

*Is this the same company that makes the scan tools?*

That speed and power template, I can no longer find on site. Can you share that file?

Does the orange gaurd act as an eye protection?

Juast got my D1 20 watt. Question. Can I adjust the thickness of the etching or am I limited to the width of the laser. I would like my outline of an item to be a little thicker.

big job man

Can you use it on a deer skull

Will this engrave quartz crystal points?

How much

Can you use this on tempered glass?

I hesitate to order the D1 or Sculpfun S30 pro max 20W

Where do you source your slate tiles? Brad/model/link of your dust collector??

Hi, does the 20W laser module be able to engrave silver?

I am not getting solid lines.. mine are coming out as a squiggly mess :( any help? I am just starting with a simple paw print

So if I am looking at GlowForge or this what say you? Also is support good? I know GlowForge is US and this one is China-- Thanks

I'm doing a coated metal tumbler and trying to get the right settings for it

So you need a filter for this machine?

and if i live in a rent appartment , it has quite sound or noisy ?

What kind of prepping you are doing for photo portrait engraving on birch with that fast speed and low power? I've struggled to get good quality on my 20w D1 pro. Hope you can help me.
