eBay Refurbished P2S Retutn?

Hello all, I wanted input from the group here before I moved forward with any final decision:

During the recent sale, I actually found that xTool was selling a few refurb P2S units on eBay (~$2173 USD shipped).

Unit came in last week after some shipping delays due to an issue with the label being unable to be read (foreshadowing). When the unit arrived, the box was mangled, and when I opened it up the unit looked to have been dropped/dragged. Best guess was the packing tape used to secure the box broke in transit, FedEx attempted to put everything back in but put the unit back in upside down so the foam didn’t align, and the antifreeze, and power cable is missing. The day before it arrived, I got Covid so I couldn’t set it up until last night when I was feeling better.

Once I finally disassembled the broken pieces of the outer case, put my own distilled water in and powered it, seemed to power ok. Gantry seems square still, but the distance camera cuts off the top view of the area.

xTool has offered to send new antifreeze and replacement broken plastic casings or return the unit.

Do I keep the unit at the price I got, troubleshoot and take the gamble or return it and get my money back?

P3 5w IR laser not turning off during engraving.

So I just did a test for a gift for my nephew and what I thought was just residue turned out to be a weak engraving /lines between the actual design to be engraved and the other lines to be scored. It's as if the laser never fully turned off and just increased power where it was supposed to be on.

Any troubleshooting would be appreciated

Control RA3 position for F2 Ultra using the xTool Studio software itself?

I can't seem to find a way to control the RA3 from XTS for an F2 Ultra. I guess I could repeat the object and hope to get the angles right, but it would be much more accurate if I could repeat every x angle. It seems like this would be even better as a "batch" process for the RA3. Am I just missing it?

Anyone has tips for the best preperation practices and settings for the M2 CYMk module?

I wanted to make a review or at least share some images but so far my projects do not look as intended

The calibration was fine and it created a perfectly clear circle but prits have been coming out a bit dull and blurry on both paper and wood.

I suspect it has something to do with the distance but I'm not entierly sure

I want to really do this right and make the most of out of this module

We made an AI designed table

What if you could just describe a piece of furniture and get everything you need to actually build it?

In this video, I put a commonly known side table design to the test. I open the web, type in a description of a side table, and it generates an editable 3D model, along with the engineering drawings and a full build plan: cut list, joinery, and step-by-step assembly. Then I take those files straight into the workshop and build the real thing from scratch.

The Old Pub Dog: Ireland Social Club Halftone Hoodie | Free Files

Made this retro Irish halftone hoodie design for the Atomm Halftone Maker Contest. I wanted it to feel less like a novelty Irish graphic and more like an old memory: a loyal pub dog, warm lights, wet cobblestones and a bit of Irish social-club nostalgia.

Printed as a hoodie and tee concept using a distressed halftone-style finish.

xTool M1 Ultra Discontinued?

I’ve been considering getting the M1 Ultra and have been going Back-and-forth. Today I went on the website to check out some of the specs, and I couldn’t navigate to that specific product anymore. When I tried navigating to the product page for the M1 Ultra, it gave me an error.

Does anyone know if it’s discontinued? Or is it just out of stock? I think it was just last week that I was able to look at the product page, but not anymore.

Will the RA3 work with the F2 lite (portable)?

I'm getting mixed answers from xtool site and Google so I thought I'd ask here. I want to be able to engrave rings and bracelets.

Is the RA3 compatible with the portable F2 (not the F2 Ultra).

ETA: please only answer if you have the F2 and RA3. I've been to the xtools site and there is conflicting info. I'm looking for someone who knows for a fact whether it's compatible or not

Anyone want a free xTool gift card?

Got a $50 and $100.

Don't think I'll be using it so just giving it away.

US-store based only, I think.

Update: Distributed. Thanks for participating.

M2

Just ordered the M2 with print head. Will I be able to make acrylic keychains? What are some recommended accessories? The deal I found was way too good to pass up!

F2 IR laser Uneven engraving

I know I'm pretty new to Xtool machines so Im just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I have done multiple setting changes and test grids. I started with great and clean engravings, but now I cant get it consistant at all. It seems like the laser is almost not staying consistant.

Does anyone have any insights??

You'll see in the photos.... The raccoon and skeleton are clean and now the same settings cause the other two to be so messy and unable to be seen. Attached is 1 of my many test grids I have done to try and figure it out, and it almost seems like the IR is not consistant when it gets to those middle parts...

ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING AND APPRECIATED <3

Trying to better understand difference between flexible white ink for XTool Omni UV/DTF printer

Hey there, been going down the rabbit hole of XTool Omni O1 model types and wanted to better understand limitations of not having flexible white ink if you go with the UV/DTF combo.

My understanding is that the flexible white ink is good for canvas + vinyl + leather but I am confused if it is still possible to print these flexible materials with the base UV and UV/DTF combo albeit with risk of cracking. I have read that it would be more prone to cracking due to not using flexible white based but can I DTF straight to a canvas tote bag or would it still crack?

Should I be concerned that the direct DTF prints on a t-shirt would crack with that same logic? Are they not also considered a flexible material? Like what is the difference in flex between a t-shirt and a tote bag? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I haven't had a chance to do a deep dive into how exactly the UV and DTF tech works and wanted to get some feedback from the community who are experts in this area of DTF/UV.

I would like the feasibility to do small runs of custom UV or DTF which is why the UV/DTF config is appealing but was wondering if I'm still able to do tote bags or some vinyl that will stay relatively unstretched.

Thanks =)

How do I get better printer quality?

Just finally got my M2 hooked up last night. Ran a few test prints, this was on the supplied a5 paper. Why is it so pixelated and grainy? Is there a way to adjust the quality? The image was 300dpi
