dear, are you interested in TBK laser machine? that must be nice

I am new to this product and found it exceptionally helpful. I've watched others re: set up of the new unit including the build and you are heads above the rest. You said it's a long video, I find it to be the most informative and I appreciate you covering all the bases.

It's a cool gadget and I wouldnt mind it but its things like this that takes out the soul of working with wood - I like when things aren't 100% prefet, when things arent looking the same, when someone put a lot of work and love in it

Thank you thank you thank you Matt!!! I have been waiting for this video for two months since I receive my XTool D1 and F1. My software was part of the demo stage and they have definitely upgraded it. I greatly appreciate your video and now I feel more confident. Thank you very much.

Instead of using paint thinner (which is chemically designed to thin oil based paints), you should be using acetone for spray paints where they are ether based. Plus, you wash off the waste into a plastic or metal container, not down your drain where it will pollute your water system (either town water or your water table if you have a leach field).

What is the difference between the default blue laser and the xTool 21064nm infra red laser? They quote that the infra red laser is used to engrave metals and similar materials. But you can do that with the blue one too. Does it just work a lot better?

Instead of using a masking paint that requires thinner or acetone to remove try using water washable tempera paint. Some people brush it on but I invested less than $100 on a Harbor Freight airbrush compressor/air brush set. Apply the tempera paint, let it dry, engrave your image and wash it off with water. That simple!

@BitSmythe

Home first. Then learn about where to start the job; current position vs exact dimensions. Also be aware of start location (the 9 dot grid). If you’re starting at top left and you’re engraving “selected items” they must be at that edge of your on screen project. In other words, if you have vertically, A, B, C and are only engraving B and C, it will skip the location of A even though you’re not outputting it. Also if you have the Blue laser head (with red crosshairs) make sure the Offset is on, for the IR head, it should be off. There are some great tutorials available. www.youtube.com/@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy this guy is good, but has the remarkable ability to take a strong five minute video and stretch it out to twenty. Loves to hear himself talk, but has lots of good info.

Hello! I am having issues with my Xtool D1 Pro Laser. I received it and tried it, the first try was perfect. Then the second time I tried it wouldn't work. The laser would move around but the laser light barely had any strength. It would move around as if it was doing the job and would take the amount of time the project would take, however there were no marks on the plywood or anything and the light was very very weak. You could barely see. I emailed customer service and it has now been a 3 month battle or recommendations and changes they want me to make which I have but nothing has solved the issue. I went ahead and tried another laser head which is the one for metals. I did 1 dog tag that came out beautiful. I went ahead and tried to do another dog tag....same thing happened....the light was too weak barely visible, the laser would move around as if it was doing de project but nothing would engrave. I didn't change anything on the setting from first project to second. I was working with pre-establish material settings. Power speed and all was verified and still nothing. Do you have any idea what it could be or how to fix it?
