how you connect the XTool m1 to wifi?
@DarkMoonEmporium 29 күн бұрын
I don't have an M1 so I can't say for sure, but I think that you'd have to connect with USB first and then go into machine settings and enter your wifi password. Once that's done, XCS should be able to find your wifi to connect.

Thank you for this great idea and the very well-made video. Although my English is not that good, I will be able to recreate this great box. I do have one comment though: why are you using the bone folder upside down? The tip is flattened so that you can stroke the paper with a wider surface. At the same time, you press the paper flat so that you don't have to correct it with your fingers, as you did at minute 2:01. Try it out and you will be amazed. Best wishes from Germany. J.

If you don't want to enter text one letter at a time, you can use Outline to make a vector and then use the vector editor to make changes.

@DarkMoonEmporium 5 ай бұрын
Lightburn is great and the more advanced user will probably grow out of XCS at some point. I switched over to Lightburn almost immediately when I got my D1 because XCS was pretty limited at the start of 2023. I went back to XCS when I got my F1 because Lightburn doesn't really play nicely with the F1 and I was honestly very surprised at how far XCS has come - it's a nice balance of ease of use and design functions, and it's free - my favourite price! I'm also impressed at how XTool seem to be listening to their user requirements and iterating - they continually added features to V1. If there's a demand for more advanced features I'm sure they'll be working to develop them. BTW, I'm not connected with XTool in any way - just a granny with a laser!
