Using laserbox and my d1

The easiest way is to move your laser head as far away from the motherboard as possible and secure your zip ties then. That way you'll be at full extension. If you have additional questions try the xTool D1 FB group where you can share pictures of your issue. facebook.com/groups/xtoold1 Cheers!
