any chance you know why when i trying to do a tumbler like the pink one in your video....(up and down not sideways) it doesnt come out right. example: i put in 5 inches length and 3 inches wide and it frames correct but when it actually lasers it does it small and not to the measurements. i have to end up putting the measurements in longer than what the cup is to actually get it to the size i need which is from bottom to top of the tumbler. Im stumped

Each machine can be different depending on how you set up your focus. Plus, the colors may need different settings for each color I usually test around 85 power and speed 35 and adjust from there. It's also a good idea to run a test grid on a spare tumbler.

Your RA2 should be the other way around , that’s why you have to mirror more often than you should need to

If you flip your rotary attachment 180 degrees (so the word XTOOL can be read right side up instead of upside down), you won't need to mirror your design.

It’s put together in one of its intended configurations. I’m guessing that you either don’t have an RA2, or didn’t bother to read through the reference material it comes with. This is one of the most versatile rotary systems on the market. She knows what she’s doing. I’m sure you can find something more productive to do with your time than making blatantly ignorant comments to content creators on KZfaq. Don’t be that guy.

@Birch-and-Maine 7 ай бұрын
Quantity makes no difference if you don’t read the reference material. I know instructions can be difficult for some users, so xtool was nice enough to include neat little pictures. I use this configuration with all of mine on a regular basis, as do many users, especially for glass with handles or pieces that are large enough to contact the base plate (that is what xtool recommends after all). Maybe the manufacturer, and the rest of us are wrong, but I wouldn’t count on it. She has to mirror, not because it is “put together wrong” but because she has to place it in the workspace backwards, which you can clearly see in the video. Not to worry though, there is a myriad of apps, and programs out there to help you develop spatial reasoning.
