Thank you for a complete, understandable overview of the Laser Engraver. Nicely organized and presented.

I appreciate you pausing the video while showing the different parts! thanks

Really nice review! I have the Makeblock xTool D1 10 watt laser engraver with the optional roller engraving device and 8 leg extensions. I also purchased the Xtool Honeycomb Bed and Comgrow Enclosure, along with the xTool D1. This laser engraver is amazing, and it will engrave and cut (with limitations) a lot of different materials. Makeblock is also releasing a 20 watt laser and power supply upgrade (plug and play) for the Xtool D1 in May of 2022. The xTool D1 laser engraver is easy to assemble and use (with a small learning curve). The proprietary "Laserbox" software is very limited in what it can do, and spending an extra initial $60 (then $30 annually) for the very advanced and useful "Lightburn" software is almost a must. The key to making the xTool D1 work well is setting the tension on all 3 belts correctly and evenly, and also keeping the track rods lubed. Also, the xTool Honeycomb Bed really helps a lot with heat dissipation, so that you don't burn or discolor the material that you are engraving or cutting. A good enclosure (like the Comgrow) with a smoke extraction setup is also very helpful, especially when cutting. The cable management of the xTool D1 could be better, but it is easily remedied with a little creativity. The trick to speeding up engraving times is learning the proper laser speed and intensity to use. Also, setting burn/cut layer priorities , and increasing "whitespace" travel speed in Lightburn really helps a lot to immensely decrease engraving times. Learning to center an engraving on materials also takes a bit of learning, and the red crosshair targeting laser really helps (it is 16mm off of the main blue laser, and the distance can be adjusted for accuracy in Lightburn). However, using the (shift) "fire laser" and "framing" features in Lightburn really help with the centering issue, once you learn to use them. The WiFi works well, but only works with Laserbox for now. However, when using WiFi you still have to physically push the start button on the xTool D1 for safety reasons. I have not used the phone App. option yet, so I cannot speak for how well it works. I highly recommend the xTool D1 if you are getting into laser engraving, and are not ready to shell out the money for an expensive CO2 laser quite yet. However, just remember that this is a very real "laser," and the UV light is very damaging to your eyes (never look directly at the laser without good eye protection). I highly recommend ditching the included (green) safety glasses and purchasing some professional (amber) laser glasses that are certified to block laser light in the 455nm range. Afterall, you only get one pair of eyes in your lifetime. Also, never burn plastics like PVC, as they will produce deadly Chlorine Gas when heated. Even regular wood smoke can be toxic and irritating, depending on the species of wood. Especially exotic hardwoods like Purpleheart. If anyone has any questions regarding the xTool D1 just let me know, as I have quite a bit of experience with it now, as well as the Lightburn software. I am always willing to help fellow laser users.🙂

Thank you for a detailed video on this product

Great review! I love your in depth explanations. I have an xTool D1 and I am hoping I see the comparison with the Sculpfun S10

I love your reviews. Thorough and honest.

Fantastic and honest review! Really enjoyed watching.

Thanks for not disappointing, John. 👏👏

Brilliant review, thank you. Mine arrives tomorrow

Thank you for the review! I just purchased mine and I’m still learning. Thanks for including the spoil board dimensions! The XTool honeycomb board comes in inches (but shows in mm on the website) and I’m still trying to figure out which I should stick with (in/mm). Wish I paid better attention in grammar school when they wanted us all to learn the metric system. Would have been helpful if the US converted! I’m still trying to figure out how to match the grid in lightburn to the spoil board. Any suggestions? Again, great review.

I have been looking at this laser for a bit now and I must say I will probably go with this one. Light burn basic might be their way of getting people to buy the better software. Thanks for the review

Taco Tuesday 😂😂! Now that is an awesome review 👍. I really like the build quality, and you got some amazing results. Another great review Tripod!

I have a K40 but its not big enough for some of the projects I have planned so I have been thinking about making a tool change for my MPCNC but cant find any laser half as powerful as the Co2 laser in my K40, I cant easily put the guts of the K40 on the MPCNC as there are mirrors involved and I dont want unprotected laser beams in my shop, I suppose I could enclose the MPCNC which I have also been thinking about, but then I would need open access to the machine for servicing and the changing of the tool head from time to time.

I ordered one with the upgraded roller and your discount got me $50.00 off, Thanks! All of the parts will not be here until the end of the month though!

Awesome work! 👊. Idk what to say I bout a xtool

Will the 5watt laser engrave and Cut wood and such materials

Great video man, very informative. Looking at purchasing one currently. Would the 10W version be powerful enough to cut through say 6mm plywood and 6mm acrylic?

I have a honeycomb build mat or thing too! 🤪 Good review as usual!

I can’t find where I can buy the 3D print legs holder for the XTool legs

Your code gave me a 40 bucks discount, thank you for that! and for the review! One question (of many), what where the settings for the bamboo?
