In this video, I set up the new XTool software (creative space) and update the firmware on the pro. I also configure the machine to run on lightburn and do a little test cutting. My setup is a success.

I purchased the Atomstack X20 Pro and basically had the same results as the D1 Pro. Both 20W so makes sense. Great job David. Keeping 'em coming looking forward to seeing some of your new projects with the 20W.

Just wanted to thank you for the video! Had I followed closely the first time, I would have saved myself hours of frustration setting up my D1 Pro with lightburn. In a rush to get things working quickly, I missed one small step in the process which could have been avoided had I read EACH step.

Great video! As with the assembly video. I followed your advice downloading and a few lightburn tweeks. I dont have the logitec camera in lightburn yet as I assembled the Pro in the house and the logitec camera is installed in the enclosure in the shop. Is there any focus or other things to do to the camera. I will plug in the usb and tell lightburn to recoginize it. What about positioning the camera and siscking it with lightburn?. PS...the assembly went perfectly. thank you again for helping and sharing. Your videos are very helpful.

Hello friend, first of all, thanks for the tutorial. A week ago my xTOOL D1 Pro arrived and I am just getting started. In the laser guina, I use Current Position, because I find it easier. Do you use Absolute Coordinates? If yes, how do you make the settings? Thanks

Great video! Curious since you have a xTool D1 10W and now a xTool D1 20W Pro are you using 2 different computers? I'm in the same situation but wondering about conflicting software trying to run 2 different xTools.

@@georgeheleine5209 it appears that the software creates profiles for different machines. You select the port number in the left drop down and then the profile to apply in the right box. I use the XTool d1 and Atomstack at the same time using lightburn. No reason why it would be any different with the pro. I have 3 different machine profiles in the drop down.

I am just curious as to why you use mm per second instead of mm per minute in lightburn. I'm new to my laser and I have the D1 pro. Some people say mm per second is for CO2 laser and the D1 is a diod. Is this just a personal preference?
@TheClackShack
@TheClackShack Жыл бұрын
Preference. In the early days, diodes had to go much slower due to power restriction (1.5 watts) . MM/M gave more room for adjustment. Now, diodes have much more power and the incraments of increase are not as fine. Just my take, I prefer mm/s

Maybe you can help me with an issue, as you seem to have not had a problem… I too just got my Xtool D1Pro 20w. I got Creative Space installed, and am I wrong that Laserbox cannot be used with the D1 Pro? That is how I read it on the Xtool software download site. The problem is when I download Lightburn. I followed the exact directions that you have on your video, but when I download the dev file that needs to be downloaded before you configure Lightburn…that is where everything goes south! It shows downloaded in my list, but when I click open file, it asks me what app I want to use and it gives me the option of using Firefox or the Microsoft Store. (Neither of which worked, by the way!). Obviously you had whatever that dev file extension needed because you got it to run. When I just open Lightburn and try to automatically locate the laser, it says that I’m not connected to the laser. If I try to manually find my laser, there is no Xtool option to choose. I’m stumped!!! I hope you have some words of wisdom, as the support dudes direct me to the website for “directions on how to download software.” Ugh…. Really? Do they NOT actually read the emails that they receive? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the configuration file either wasn't installed or didn't save. Sounds software related, Follow along with this video and make sure all the steps are done. Doing them again will not hurt anything even if they were already done. Sounds like the loading on the configuration file is what is needed.
