The only place (for now) to use my F2 Ultra is in the garage. It's 90 degrees in there during the day. I left it on (not running) for a few hours and when I was setting it up to engrave, I saw an Isolater overheating warning. I saw a post about it and xtools responded saying it was a software issue. I know it's hot but should the warning be on even before it's running or is it really a software issue?

I’ve ordered an Omni O1 Dual, first xTool machine and first non-3D printer.
While I wait for more delivery information I’m trying to get everything else figured out and one thing I can’t see clearly stated is how much power it uses on average? I know it depends on the job size, height and time, but is there a ballpark number to calculate at? Like, 50w a min? Just trying to make sure I have enough on the circuit and build it into any cogs

Go to https://xbase.xtool.com/o1-shipping and join me wait for your pre-ordered O1 Omni. How far or near are you on the waiting list?

Ever since xTool released their teaser of X1, I've been keeping a close track. From their posts on Facebook, the new machine sounds more than a regular upgrade, but still I can't find much info out there. Would you say it's more like a CO2 laser engraver, a UV laser, dual-souce hybrid or what?

Receive a box from xTool they did not order?

I received a box that had a roll of Heat Press Vinyl and 3 canvas bags with sequins on one side.

It was interesting as any order I have ever made includes a business name and then my full name.

This was addressed to me using only my first name and address.

Just seemed odd.

I have an xtool m2 10w and have been recently engraving tumblers. Typically they come out perfect, but recently I have been given a picture project and can not for the life of me get correct settings and parameters to engrave this picture clearly. I have used a wide variety of different settings and have engraved this picture at least 20 times. I've wasted 5 tumblers trying to get this right. What is everyone using to engrave pictures?

*To note, I am using MakerFlo powder coated tumblers*

The best print I got was rendering the image to black and white, then inverting the picture. I used Jarvis for the bitmap mode and 50% power, 120 speed and 120 lines per cm. The first test print I did with these settings came out almost perfect, so I was going to go ahead and use it. I did the engraving and it came out badly again.

Can anyone help me out?

I've been able to get with stool regarding my machine grinding, and they've diagnosed and recommended two parts. GREAT! But now I can't get them to ship them to me. Just sits in "awaiting information." This happened last time too... I had to light a fire to get anyone to respond.

I know they have a US support presence now, not sure why it's still taking three days just to get a response. u/xtoolada, can you help?

Purchased an Xtool M2 and had issues with it shortly after receiving it. I worked with support to fix the issue. They were very responsive, I did not have to wait days for a reply with suggestions on how to fix it. It took a little while to get it corrected, but they stayed at it and it is now fix. Hats off to their support.

Thank you

Where could I find some templates to use for mug sublimation? The nephew and nieces start school this week and I want to make mugs for their teachers. I have a Cricut mug press but I need a template that I can use on my M1 Ultra to cut out the sublimation wrap and place it on the mug. Any suggestions?

I bought an xtool F1 lite from my brother he had working on his windows computer. I went and downloaded the software to my own personal computer logged in using his credentials and I can’t get it to connect. I’ve done the troubleshooting that xtool provided and it gives me 3 errors: drivers, (which I installed when open the xtool software and check the setting) faulty cable (but the laser knob has a white light on) and device not found. Does anyone have any clue what I’m doing wrong.

Hi there,

I have a small business where I make sterling silver charms. I'm looking to personalise some of them with small engravings of names/ dates etc.

The size of the letters will need to be around 0.5mm in height, as the charms are pretty small.

It would be great if the engraver could also work on other materials like wood and leather.

I've spent hours researching engravers online, asking chatgpt and watching YT vids, but I can't seem to get a clear answer.

I'm currently looking at the Xtool F1 Ultra, as it has two lasers, and claims it works on most materials. It also looks very user friendly (in terms of software and all in one enclosed unit) for a novice like me. However I've read elsewhere that the 20W fiber laser might not be powerful enough to engrave properly. I've seen very little proof online that the F1 Ultra does a good job on sterling silver and therefore I'm hesitant to dive in a buy one.

I've also seen that the Xtool F1 (non ultra) can lightly mark silver. Would this be suitable as a starting point, or something that would satisfy a customer wanting a personalised silver charm? Or should I steer clear?

Finally I looked into more powerful fiber lasers, 30W+. These intimidate me as most look like they'd need an enclosure and ventilation setup. Possibly something that might be a bit overkill for my small Etsy shop?

Sorry for the long brain dump. Any help would be massively appreciated. Just looking for something relatively affordable and easy to use - if that exists

Thanks

Ben

I have the M1 Ultra that I bought with the apparel bundle. It came with the iron heat press bundle. Question is, is the DT on the Omni much better. If you had one, would you recommend DT+UV or dual UV?
