We love your videos. What is the best type of wood to use for cutting and laser engraving ornaments? Any recommendations on where to buy these materials? Thanks so much!

awesome video, thank you so much. I learned few things from illustrator. the question is why did you use masking tape?

To reduce the burn on the edges.

Thanks for the videos. I just got mine and I'm having a hard time getting it to cut through even the small pieces of included wood. I have the 10w any help would be appreciated as Xtool has zero customer support. What cutting setting did you use there and what material ? Thanks!
@BuildDadBuild 2 жыл бұрын
My first thought would be do you have it focused correctly. Those settings are the settings for 5mm basswood...I believe. I've slept since that video. LOL Also check out the xTool D1 Facebook group. Lots of smart folks there that can help! facebook.com/groups/xtoold1 Cheers

I just got a 20W D1 pro. I cut my first wood with it and I really don’t know what to do with the soot. When handling the part I cut it just rubbed all over with my fingers. And it smelled really bad. Is there a recommended post process that you follow to clean parts up?
@BuildDadBuild Жыл бұрын
Isopropyl alcohol.

So I’m on light burn like you suggested We’re testing it out for free but just wanted to make sure that I read it right is it $100 for the software if you want to buy it and I’m guessing it’s worth it just wanted to check in on that

If you go to Lightburn’s website it’s like $40-50. If you want to run CO2 lasers as well there’s an upgraded package that takes it to $100

You might want to try using some gorilla duct tape to pull the remnants of your masking tape off the face of your intricate project to like that.

I thought you were a wood worker but you mostly build home decor lately? and what's with the laser thing? looks more arts and crafts than woodwork

So a while back I injured my shoulder and couldn't lift or manipulate things in the shop very well. And about that time I got my first laser, so I started making laser content. The goal is to continue to make both woodworking and laser content while doing the occasional art project. I haven't done a whole lot of large scale projects due the the shoulder injury. Cheers
