Thanks. KZfaq makes the world seem small. Wish I had good neighbors. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It's one thing they should all come with. Thanks for watching.

Thanks It's mostly new to me and I love playing with new technology. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I am sure Xtool will make an enclosure someday. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Really just an old guy having fun trying new things. Thanks for watching.

Thabnks. You can do it. Get some cardboard to make templates and work out a shape that works for your needs.All that counts is that it removes the fumes and vapors. Thanks for watching.

I use cardboard to work just about everything out. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I will be now too!

Thanks. It's an amazing little laser but needs a good way to exhaust the vapors. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 absolutely. I pre-ordered the xtool m1

Thanks. A little cardboard really helps work things like this out. Enjoy your D1, they are awesome machines. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. This type of laser definitely needs some type of enclosure to remove the toxic vapors and fumes. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Tried to keep it clean looking and simple like the D1. Thanks for watching.

They are an affordable way to add new capabilities to a shop. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. They are fun learning tools that always amaze me. Most of the lasers are affordable now and do a really nice job. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving also. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Everyone needs some type of enclosure and way to exhaust the toxic fumes they create. I wouldn't be surprised if our government bans the sale of them without an enclosure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Really just an old guy having fun. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Those AC Infinity fans are the best. Thanks for watching.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.

Thanks. This type laser really needs a good way to remove fumes and vapors. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!

Thanks. It's a requirement for this type of laser. This D1 is an awesome machine. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I am having fun with this rabbit hole. My wife wants engraved valances for our bedroom windows that will be about 3 1/2 feet long so the openings will be used in a video about them. Hope your family has a happy Thanksgiving also. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. All these lasers should really come with an enclosure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Many viewers only watch the first couple minutes of my videos. That's what KZfaq videos are about. The D1 is a fantastic little machine. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It does a great job with the toxic vapors. Thanks for watching.

Hope you enjoy your D1. Dosen't matter how it looks as long as it gets the fumes out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks . It was a fun little project that is really required to safely operate one of these blue lasers. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It was another fun project. We wound up staying home today. Yesterday I wasn't feeling good and this morning my wife was also feeling crummy so we decided to stay home in case it's something contagious. The first year ever I had a baloney sandwich for Thanksgiving dinner because neither one of us felt like cooking. We have pans of sweet potatoes, homemade rolls, and deserts sitting in the garage that we were supposed to bring and I know what we will be eating for the next week. Calling for some snow here tomorrow. Hope you had a great day. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Tried to keep it clean looking to match the D1. Thanks for watching.

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.

Thanks. You really don't need cnc to make something like this. Start with some cardboard templates and it's fairly easy to work out. Thanks for watching and subbing.

Thanks . You really need a way to handle the smoke and vapors from these lasers. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks! It's a great machine. Thanks for watching.

Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much 😊

It does a great jub controlling the fumes. Thanks for watching.

Same to you! Thanks for watching.

Doesn't mater what it looks like as long as the fumes are exhausted. I see xtool has a fairly nice one available now. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 just bought the xtool enclosure, it’s pretty good and easy to install, good UV shield, but the exhaust system is really not enough, a cloud line will work better, especially with some plastic VOC. I subscribed, eager to watch new vids 👍🏽

Thanks. It does a good job with the vapors. Thanks for watching.

These open lasers definitely need a way to contain and vent the fumes. Thanks for watching.

Yep, and the diy boxes seem much better, than the flimsy tents they sell. How was it with the perspex screen, does the clear work just as well as orange ? I've seen some people just using clear, but most opting for orange, thanks for you experiences/thoughts.@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023

You need glasses with clear that offers no eye protection. I bought certified OD6+ glasses to be safe.

Thanks. I don't have plans. that would be useful. I have the tap files for the side but that's not what the final assembly is. I start slightly over size and trim as I put things together. Most everything was just made from measurements as assembling and I don't waste time documenting stuff or fixing files because I will never build another. I drilled and tapped holes in the frame by transfering them and had to modify the x motor cables to make the chain work. I have about 100 hours into this. Most went to tweaking everything to be a perfect fit with perfect gaps as putting it together and changing ideas as I went along. I would say start with some cardboard, make some sides, decide if you want to void the warranty or use other ideas to make it all work together. I originally was trying to find a vacuum former to just make a big one piece clear enclosure over a form I started that would drop over the machine which really would be easy to mass produce and be super affordable but that would have taken months with the current situation so .I switched to this. Thanks for watching.

It's easy to work out with some cardboard. Make exactly what works for you. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I don't waste time making plans. It's very easy to work out with a couple pieces of cardboard and use what materials you have available. Thanks for watching.

That should be easy to do. That sounds like a great use for the D1. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I can't sell anything. Costs to much to get setup in NY. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I hope you find other videos that interest you. Thanks for watching and subbing.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Is it recommended to install drag chain on the x gantry?

Thanks. Just sharing ideas to hopefully help others get started. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I am very happy with how it came out. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. You should give it a try. Thanks for watching.

I have been told it will work the beginning of December but you never know with how Chinese companies will say anything to get sales. I am hoping by the end of the year. I always have atleast 3 projects started for job security 😉. Thanks for watching.

I am running on lightburn right now. They worked hard to implement it fast and Mine works great now.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 That's great to hear Ed, that was quicker than I expected! Thank you for the update /reply.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 you are able to use light burn with the xtool d1??

@@laurenzeth9704 Yes since the end of November. It works great. Follow the instructions on the xtool support page

I guess you didn't watch the whole video and see the slotted plastic side vent plates that slide up to pass boards through. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I didn’t see the part showing them slide up. Nice!

A charcoal filter is for smell in grow tents and not. for1 removal of particles. Most lasers use a very expensive hepa filter. 6 inch is way overkill and will move a lot of heat from your house plus the duct is almost 7 inches od. You will need a way to make up for that either in your hvac system or open window to ptevent back pressure in your appliances. You had bett get some help designing your system because you apparently have no idea about airflow and keep going to different extremes. Contact Xtool and see if they can help you.

I tried setting up a business a couple years back to make and sell items like this but the cost to hire any employees was ridiculous here in NY with the mandates. My lawyer said 22k a year in govt required mandates off the top just to be legal. So I just share ideas now. Thanks for watching.

In the description of the build video. The x cable needs to be extended and there is only one position it can be mounted in for the laser cable to be long enough. Could also use a smaller one if you don't run air. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It's just the size of my D1 inside and about a foot tall at the back. I would wait until it arrives and you figure out how you plan on handling the cables because that can make a big difference. Thanks for watching.

It's just a 4 inch tee going out through one of the 4 inch flapper vent like they use for dryers to keep clod air out. Used 2 4 inch dust collection blast gates to isolate them when just running one. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It's super simple to work out with a little cardboard. Thanks for watching.

I built it . There's a playlist about making it. I really like the Masso controller I used. Thanks for watching.

I don't save files. They usually are just rough outs I continue to modify until I get exactly what I want. Get some cardboard and work out your own based on your wants. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Chinese don't buy, they just copy 😮. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 yup, oh well. LoL

Sorry I am not set up to be able to sell anything. I tried setting up a business with 2 employees here in NY and the state mandates and fees were just too high. Over 20k a year off the top every year. Only sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.

Pulls fumes off the top and fresh air in from the bottom. No dead space in the enclosure. Thanks for watching

I just hooked mine to my shop compressor. It doesn't take a lot of airflow so any compressor will work. Some people use a large nozzle and get away with aquarium pumps also I have been told. Thanks for watching.

This Infinity fan is overkill and I only use the 2 or 3setting. Fan should be designed to create just a slight vacuum in the enclosure and it doesn't really matter how it flows. I figured updraft would let me open the cover faster. Air intake locations seems to make the biggest difference in how clear the air stays. Thanks for watching.

Just because I wanted to be able to pick it all up together to use on a large surface. Thanks for watching.

Works good so far. It's small but uses high pressure like an air knife. Thanks for watching.

I show it in the video about building a shield for the back of mt kubota tractor. Just v out to leave a .100 hinge and cold form in my metal brake. Thanks for watching.

I just bought the standard 1 meter length and kept removing links until the laser cable just fit. Had to extend the motor cable a couple inches. The spot I mounted it was the only place the cabling to the laser didn't need modding. Thanks for watching.

I haven't had any shutdowns but I switched to lightburn the end of November so I haven't used their software since. If you use lightburn there are excellent instructions on the xtool support page showing how to set it up. Load their setup for the d1 also for the easiest way to get started. It uses the upper lh for the origin and works great. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thanks so much for your help!

I decided to try the new lower cost fan and It works just as good. Same specs just more plastic. Just changed the vents so a long piece can be slid through the sides. The vents across the back are not needed and the baffle gives more even airflow but is not needed from what I am seeing. Thanks for watching.

Not in my enclosure. You should build something taller or with adjustable sides. My rotary doesn't need spacers. Thanks for watching.

I just rough sketch the outlines to cut then make the final changes, adjustments, and holes as I build so the original files are not accurate. I just toss them because it's a waste of time to fix them at the end for me. Thanks for watching.

like I said the x motor cable had an extension added and the laser cable was fine. There is only 1 position the chain can be in for the cabling to work out. Thanks for watching.

I used clear because I use it in many videos. Should have made it from steel so it's fireproof but I decided to take the cheap way out. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I honestly thought yours was steel when I looked at the first picture before I started the video - that orange paint! I’m leaning towards the orange acrylic, because I will be running this in a room in a shop which has two doorways - but no doors - and I want to protect the eyes of anyone peeking in around curtains. I will also have two dogs in there on occasion, and figure it helps protect them, too. Thanks for your help and the response!

No I am not set up to sell anything. Just sharing ideas and how to think a project like this through. Thanks for watching.

No vibration from mine. I usually just run it on number4. Thanks for watching.

Just sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.

You can't cut clear polycarbonate with a blue laser and if you could the gasses are extremely hazardous. You need a fiber laser for a clean cut in Lexan that thick. Thanks for watching.

Waiting for my D1 pro. Looking at Co2 for larger work. Thanks for watching.

The Infinity fan will work with a 25 ft 4 inch hose. You will need a high pressure blower for smaller tubing and longer runs. 1.25 hose won't move enough cfm without a very high pressure blower to overcome the static pressure.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Great answer glad I asked. If the air is already filtered at the Enclosure you mean something like a cheap in line fan about 10 or 15 feet in line down from the filter to give it a "boost" ? rated at 100 cfm or 150 cfm to push the air on out or more cfm I have no idea ? I appreciate your time i would not want my 3year old grandson to get sick on my account

You will need something like a shopvac to use 1.25 tubing and they are not rated to run constantly as many jobs take 6 to 8 hours. The Infinity fan and a short 4 inch run outside works for me and that's all I will use. Anything else you must design and test. Use metal pipe or metal lined hose so you don't develop static that can destroy electronics and shock your grandson. Some plastics create vapors that can kill so do research about the material before burning on it.

No I don't waste time making plans. It's easy to work out. Thanks for watching?

Thanks. I am not set up to sell anything. Thanks for watching.

Doesn't matter how it looks as long as it works.

I don't have any good files. Just roughed out the sides and kept modifying them until they fit. I don't waste time going back and documenting things. It's really easy to work out with cardboard to get exactly what you want. Thanks for watching.

I just delete them when I don't plan on building another so they don't waste space. It's very easy to work out. Thanks for watching.

I use high pressure compressed air. There should be an adjustment on the pump. My Dewallie pump has a knob to set it on my new Ortur laser and a flow control for fine tuning. I have no idea what Xtool does to set theirs. Contact them. Thanks for watching.

Sorry I can't make anything to sell. I tried setting up a business with 2 employees a couple years back but the cost of NY mandates to hire employees was too much so I just share ideas. All the laser fumes are toxic and should be vented outside. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. No I never go back and fix the files when done. I rough cut parts then adjust things as I go and add the holes and things. Takes to much time and I just share the ideas. Thanks for watching.

It's just scrap I had laying around. You can just use it outside until you build an enclosure. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the reply. It did a nice job marking them with no coatings. I didn't expect that because the blue lasers I use only can engrave bare stainless. It looks like a very nice machine just wish it engraved a slightly larger area. Thanks for watching.

Sorry, I can't make anything to sell. Just sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.

Make one. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 lol i don't have the proper tools, but it's pretty amazing what you have built.

Can't make anything to sell. Just share ideas. Thanks for watching.

You have to build your own. Thanks for watching.

@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 are specs available to purchase?

Try making cardboard templates to work it out. A little time and you can customize it for your needs.

Thanks. Now that I am older and wiser I am. The center is history. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. It's fairly easy to enclose this model. Thanks for watching.

It works good for controlling the fumes. Thanks for watching.
