The ULTIMATE xTool D1 Pro Review + Deep Dive

Ойын-сауық

The ultimate review, testing and deep dive of MakeBlock's xTool D1 Pro! The D1 Pro is one of the most costly diodes on the market right now and so it’s about time we gave this thing a once over. Is the xTool the magical diode laser it’s made out to be, or is it all just smoke and mirrors? We’re going to cover EVERY aspect of this machine in the deepest of dives. Let’s put MakeBlock’s marketing to the test and see if it holds up to the high standards we expect from a top tier machine.
The channel, staff, communities, web services... everything. It's all here thanks to the LMA.

    Thanks for acknowledging the effort. It's just not feasible, especially for a lot of the higher end production machines to buy every single machine, that said, we made it a point a long time ago to make sure that we gave things as thorough and unbiased to review as absolutely possible.

    Good review. I was hoping that you were comparing what machine would be a 10 vs a 1 in each category. I see why you scored the features the way you did maybe the next video show us what is the better buy and compare it to this ranking structure. I'm looking to buy a laser and I'm still not sure. This one seems high end for entry level before moving into fiber.

    Great review, thanks. I wonder why there is no smoke and vapour management when you cut for these diode lasers. CO2 usually have a ventilated enclosure and even that is usually inadequate for serious work and needs an upgrade. Most desktop CNC routers offer a vacuum hood so that dust can be managed. Surely the safety considerations should include off-gassing, vapours and smoke?

    Great review! The diode prices keep pushing higher I keep thinking why not go C02? Yes diode has its place and people will pay for plug n play but over $1K? With diode prices climbing I think there is room for a K40 "XL" 400x400 and adjustable Z sub $2k. Just a thought.

    There's definitely a weird space between the diode and the small omtech desktop lasers that doesn't really have any CO2 entries. I'd love to see more devices in that space. The diodes are getting more expensive but there are also some competing devices with similar load outs to the xTool with a lower entry point we'll be taking a look at as well. the $500-$1500 range is very strange right now lol

The machine footprint is 40.2×25.6×24.8 in. It is a desktop but marketed with the bigger machines. On ebay its $1699. OMTech site it is $2100 but they honor warranty from third party sellers! I hope this helps someone. I think this fits my bill for my first co2.

    Pretty good review :) However i would also have loved to see some timings :) Like cutting different thicknesses, engraving speeds (examles of pictures and other stuff) Also i would defently love to see someone get as good engravings as their eagle in the marketing. People might disagree, but i still think that diodes are a hobby laser and not much more. :)

    I wish I could have spent more time on it :/ only so many hours in the day spent almost 3 weeks on this review lol - unfortunately I had to move on. The eagle is definitely photoshopped lol. Diodes for the most part are definitely going to be relegated to beginners but I stand by them having some really nice features for small format photo work if that's something you're into.

Other than those small things, very detailed review.

    Great review, albeit a bit of Rollercoaster, it's a great machine, it sucks, it's a decent machine, needs improvement, it's awesome, it's sub par. I guess that's to be expected with a machine at this price point that's not a polished product. I can't get over the prices on accessories, $600 for a laser module is insane and $125 for the xtools honeycomb bed when competitors are ~$65.

    There could be a lot of reason's, its hard to say without more info. Be sure you're in focus, it will have a huge impact on how a material reacts (or doesn't react) if the focus isn't just right. Beyond that, you may also need to double check your parameters. I recommend joining one of our communities, where you can make a forum post where helpers can ask for more info and can help troubleshoot.
