In this video I will take you in depth into getting started with the XTOOL D1 Pro laser cutter and engraver! I will take you right from the unboxing all the way to the complete workflow of processing your first job.
XTOOL sent me the D1 Pro 10W model to test and I've been genuinely impressed with the build quality of this laser cutter. This is not a long term review, however, and the opinions expressed in this video are (at this point in time) more like first impressions. That being said, I do believe that the D1 Pro will perform reliably over time based on the apparent quality of the parts. If anything changes, I will come back and update this video description to report my findings.
Haven't purchased your XTOOL D1 Pro yet? Check out the following links:

In addition to the setup guide, I have also designed and made available a fume extractor nozzle to eliminate fumes at the source:

Recently, I also added two more upgrades. A protective cover for the control board PCB and a cover for the main button so that it does not get accidently pressed:

Towards the end of the video (check the time stamps) I show the performance of the machine while cutting the clearance and fit test that I designed for slot and tab style panels / boxes. You can find that design here to test on your D1 Pro or any laser cutter for that matter:

Excellent video! Great tips on cable management, gantry and stepper motor shaft alignment. xTool needs to either have that little tab cut off the circuit board which prevents it from aligning with the other side or revise their assembly instructions the way you did it. Also love the flame extractor. Will be purchasing one tof those from you for sure. Much more elegant solution than one of the rinky dink enclosures... Thanks for all your thought and work on this video. Best xTool D1 Pro video I've seen so far.

As totally careful as I was to follow every single instruction they gave to the letter, I missed that connector at 6:56. I hadn't fired up the machine yet because I'm waiting for a couple more incidentals and while I do, I saw this video! When I watched this I went back and redid everything and I'm still working on it now going through second by second of this video. My belts weren't tightened properly, I just randomly attached the gantry somewhere in the middle instead of bottoming out at the back. THEN tightening the connector bolt screws. I felt like the instructions might have assumed end user knowledge being much greater than mine is. But this connector tucked in at 6:56 would have had me shipping the machine back 😭. Onward with new knowledge!!! Appreciate you!

Great information and well presented! The only things I'd add are: - when you and initially putting together the pieces, insert the screws and tighten them only until they just more that touch. When all the fasteners for a part are in then go back and tighten them in a couple of rounds. Tightening them at the start could cause mis-alignment. - do the zap tie around the x stepper first then secure the cables under the side frame but be sure to have the x axis all the way to the back and secure cables starting at the back and work towards the front.

I am new to the Xtool community having just bought the Xtool D1 Pro 20W and I am in the process of setting it all up. I do like your explanation and demonstration of how to manage the cords with the better placement vs Xtools utilization. As far as the fume extractor I really like the concept but there is no explanation as to what you are connecting the CPAP hose to and how that works. I think better explanation of that would be helpful! This makes individuals do further research when it could have been done with one person being 100% concise with all the modifications being done. Otherwise a very good video with great information to help make production better for everyone. I will definitely be watching more of your video's.

Before I got a honeycomb bed for my laser, I used a silicone dish drying mat. These mats have raised ribs, so they give you an air gap underneath your work piece. I don't know if you can find one big enough to cover the work area of a D1, but most jobs are smaller than that. I love the idea of your fume extractor!

This is a really insightful and well thought out video. I have a question. I was having a hard time finding a work table for this laser and honestly I didn't want to take the time to make one. I have a Costco 34-in by 34-in card table. Should I get a piece of 26x26 in wood to place underneath the laser or should I just flash the table with aluminum? I use to laser engrave back in the day before it was cool and the machine that I used had a metal bed.

you mention using a protective mat under your project, Xtool has their iron honeycomb workspace, as for your burning on the back of the piece and having more crisp front, the air assist should help with that

@EmbraceMaking Жыл бұрын

Definitely! In a future video I have a lower cost solution to the honeycomb work space for people on a little more of a budget. The silicone mat underneath is a good pairing with this solution I will be releasing soon. Air assist definitely helps with the top surface and having air space under the part prevents all of the burning on the bottom side.

@BrainwavesofHope 8 ай бұрын

hello and thanks so much for this video it helped me set up my xtool d1 pro. Now im at the phase of experimenting materials but I have questions for you before I begin: 1.Do I need both an air assist and your fume extractor? Do they do the same thing? 2. Do you suggest the metal plate or a honeycomb Laser Bed to go on top of silicon mat but under material? 3. Should the laser slide all the way to the mat or be adjusted where when it slides in, the back metal piece of laser underneath plug is even with the bracket its attaching to? Ultimately resulting in laser being approximately a quarter inch from the mat?

Thanks Todd! Right now Amazon appears to be temporarily out of stock so you might have to shop around for that piece off of Amazon unfortunately. I imagine it won't take them long to get them back though!

Thanks for this video - just got a 10W D1 Pro myself and the fume extractor looks great; One question: What sort of volume of air do you think the extraction pump needs to pull (i.e. how many litres/min) in order to be effective??

@mellissaerb8819 Жыл бұрын

Great video! wondering if you can use the fume extraction and air assist at the same time?

@EmbraceMaking Жыл бұрын

Yes you can, but the air assist might push some of the fumes away. The nozzle should still get most of it, but realistically never 100%

Can we get a more detailed or close-up view of how effective the extractor is? Also, I noticed that this mod only goes up to the 20w: 40w coming soon? I'd love to get this as it would save time and money on building or buying an enclosure. Definitely getting that rotary mod, though!

How do you get the gantry to move freely like that when its on? Im using lightburn, is that why mine isn’t free to move?

@EmbraceMaking Жыл бұрын

I'm not as familiar with lightburn but your motors might be "on" which means they will hold their current position. Are you running the latest D1 pro firmware? Might not be a lightburn issue as when I did a quick google search it comes up with this: forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/disable-steppers/43986 ...

I think it must be the locking tab you're referring to. Did you get it pressed in there? The tab should flex so you can press the connector in and then it should click in place

Hey sorry I must have missed your comment, I haven't used laser box basic. What kinds of things will you mainly be doing? For general use the xtool software isn't bad. If you're an advanced used light burn seems to be the choice of the pros

Nice smoke extractor. Will it work with air assist on? Seems like air assist will push smoke beyond the extractors effective area.

@EmbraceMaking Жыл бұрын

Absolutely possible. I have pointed this out to a few people who have messaged me about it. I haven't personally tested it but it would make sense that air assist could push away fumes for sure
