Работать на 100% мощности не стоит. Во первых - 20 Вт - очень хорошая мощность. Те, кто профессионально занимаются гравировкой на волоконном лазере, выставляют мощность на 75-80%. Не более. Чем выше мощность, тем быстрее лазер выработает свой ресурс. И максимальная скорость гравировки в пределах 1000-2500 мм/сек (сканатор тоже надо беречь), а больше и не надо 😊. Берегите оборудование и будет вам счастье🎉

One thing not talked too much about this unit, is the open concept cover. The lack of an interlock closure system makes this classified as a Class 4 laser, which if you are in a business that OSHA is regulating, it is a real headache to use the machine "safely". Pretty much have to have it in a locked room with no windows operating by itself, blinking entry lights, a bit of stuff if you look it up. OSHA Technical Manual (OTM) Section III: Chapter 6 lines a lot of it out.

[@nathanwolf5547]

You can set both the F1 and the ultra to shut off if you lift the cover. Not useful when using accessories though.

[@Dgafsranger]

Not of it's a small business OSHA kick rocks 😂

My god, you have no life and no one thinks you're smart.

@@paulrivera5049 Are you trying to say tattletale? Isnt a Narc associated with drugs? Naw, I just work at a facility that has requirements and its something people outside of hobby lobby have to consider.

[@MehdiyeMuhammedi]

Very nice❤❤ Hello, I tried the collars that were sent by machine, but they didn't work at all. Can you tell me the settings for them, please?

[@StevenDoornbos-xo5jb]

Ordered the F1 Ultra today from your link. Thanks for the extra savings. Love your channel. This will be a great addition to my F1 and We Creat Vision Lasers. Can’t wait for delivery!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hey Steven! Glad to hear you got you one! It is my new favorite! You will absolutely love it!

[@Thinbluediggers]

I'm have the D1 pro and looking to get this for my shows to be able to do things on the spot at shows and to also be able to do batch items with the Conveyor. Great video can't wait to save up and get one

[@CorneliusCreations]

You will absolutely love it man. I have been using mine since I got it!!! I think it’s a well rounded investment and tool for people who are going to put it to use.

[@ratbert86]

This is exactly what I did. Ordered my F1 Ultra yesterday.

[@Bodari23]

Could you compare it with Laser pecker 5

[@PinStrype24]

Would you be willing to share a link for the ridge style wallets?

[@ggavati9809]

Thanks for the video. I didn't see much charring or burning on any of your projects. Did they engrave cleanly, or did you wipe down before showing to the camera?? I noticed some on the turtle light switch cover though .. Also, does it engrave on plastic bottles that you can get from Target or Walmart, such as a UV printer can?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Great question. There is minimal charring on most projects. The power on the turtle project could have been turned down some TBH. I actually installed a new fan on the F1 Ultra and it has significantly increased the suction and made it better. The IR can engrave plastic. While I have only engraved a few plastic items, I have full faith it could! The F1 continues to impress me.

[@petgoodsshop]

How effective is the X ultra on a disk the size of a nickel that detailed? Thanks.

[@cindywhite9754]

Can you add a link to the adapter that you used for the minimalist metal wallet?

[@Steve16346]

If you have that laser? It would be very easy to make one.

[@naterife8871]

Great video. Thanks.

[@davidlashaway]

Awesome video Matt!! All that work paid off. Keep them coming Bro.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you bro! I appreciate you!

[@cindywhite9754]

Another question… Do you have to hook up your PC constantly to the F1 ultra or can you go Bluetooth or over some cloud server?

[@karimali7602]

Ummm... Not the "First". The Sainsmart Z6, is. That said, can it cut metal? I would LOVE a laser that can cut 1/16" brass/copper/stainless (any of those)

[@seamusmckenly4723]

The "Hustle" is a little on the misleading side. It's a saturated market with online companies that can ALWAYS beat whatever price you have in the street. If you want to play with lasers feel free but dont allow these snake oilers to convince you that you can quit your job and make things that mostly are wanted by a limited and very small niche market. You will never break even in business doing this unless you have the ability to float till you get things going which most people in this level of laser field do not have. These are entry level machines no matter what they say as far as comparing them to industrial sized lasers. Keep in mind these video guys are PAID PAID PAID with equipment and a stacks of materials to mess up hoping to get that one that even looks decent. I'm sure there are exceptions to this but most will never make it outside the garage. I have a full line of Xtool products and I am also a product rep. I paid nothing for my 40watter nor the F1 and F1 Ultra. I built a k40 that out performs anything made by Xtool other than auto focus and cams for 1/4 the price. The Xtool air cleaner is expensive to operate. Many places will NOT allow open lasers nor any type of burning smell. I truly thank the good Reps from Xtool for their PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE. Xtool has the best in the market. Im not trying to dissuade anyone from chasing their dreams and hopes of having a successful business. That's the American Dream. I just want to share what I have seen in reality away from people PAID by cash or machinery.I'm not knocking the Xtool products. Their materials are the best Ive found for consistency in grain size and color when burned. Xtool is the leader in the field and you get a solid machine, but you will pay for it. I hope all that read this will be successful at all they do. God Bless America and all the people that are willing to put the work in to be successful.

[@ShyneflowLC]

I think so lot of your points are true. I've purchased multiple. People have to have abilities of sorts to make this hustle work. Those with no creative bones will not succeed

[@allstarprintlab2675]

I tho8ght about the hustle. And I totally agree. I'm in the apparel decorating industry and am an artist myself. I have side project and also can use this for cutting applique for embroidery and patches. Other then that for a home hobbist tryna quit their job and get rich off etsy....impossible. let's say you find a good hustle, it's already all over the internet. Let's say you come up with something new, you getting copied and someone's gonna be willing to do it for less. But if you can find your own lane and have a branded product line with customization, I do think you can win big here. I def want to test these bad bois out! Black Friday here we come!

[@tzfletcher]

80% of businesses fail in their first 5 years. Of the 20% that succeed, 80% of them fail in their next 5 years. From these numbers, this means that on average, 96 out of 100 startups fail within 10 years. The numbers change depending where you get your references from, but no matter what, the odds are stacked against you if you want to drop the day job. I've used fiber lasers, Trotecs, Epilogs, Avid CNCs, Chinese CNCs, UV printers, Latex Printers, Sublimation printers and 3D printers to make 1000s of different products for sale on Etsy, Amazon, eBay - believe me it's extremely hard to make a living. I'm sure you could make a few $ using this machine but it's hard to see how you could use it to give up a day job securely.

[@genin69]

but can it cut? will it cut plastic?

[@bvd6314]

Where do you get your blank products like the wallet and etc? Thanks!

[@FC-kw4mw]

Thank you for such a fluid and concise video!

[@FC-kw4mw]

Also! I like to use a heavy bodied black tempera on the metals to engrave, it makes it black and more visible, can use higher speed, and the resource is cheap and accessible. Clean up is quick too!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Great tip!

[@MyLegacyLaserStudio]

Hello, can you please share some of your suppliers for like the wood keychains and bulk or cutting boards… honestly everything… lol? Thank you.

[@MsSadiejo]

Have you tried engraving anything like silicone wristbands with the stool ultra? I get a lot of requests for that.

[@TolleyHandcrafted]

i see you have few comments on the rfid wallets. i see your settings at the bottom, but what was the set material you used?

[@CorneliusCreations]

I didn't use a set material at the time of doing these. 100% Power, 1000% Speed, 300 LPC

[@mattybulman]

Great video thanks. Have you managed to get a black mark on steel where it’s does not actually engrave? I believe it’s called xmarking and also can it white engrave on steel?

[@ghostplaymakers3681]

will this work on silver?

[@CorneliusCreations]

It works great on silver!

[@digitaldoom3593]

I meant Fiber lol. It still runs on the IR Wavelength. But it is Fiber :)

I’m wondering about using the conveyor to cut and engrave longer objects.

[@CorneliusCreations]

You won’t be able to cut on the conveyor, but it will most definitely engrave!

[@nathanwolf5547]

I’ve already ordered mine to go with the F1 I already own

[@HobbyBobby.]

so its a fibe laser, i ithought it was not possible to use them on wood. thx for the video

[@the_luminary]

How would you compare this with the ComMarker B4???

[@albertdrew7235]

very kool, can you do 4.5" x 4.5" white tile engravings?

[@Schoendings]

Thank you for the video. I miss the 3D surface engrave. From xtool day said it goes up to 45 degrees. Would be nice to See IT on a Tumblr or a wineglass.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Great suggestion!

[@Schoendings]

My idea was to created jig where I can place the wine glass and just engrave a name on the site without using the rotary. Put in a glass, push the button, Put in next glass , Push the button and so on. Because it will save much time if I do not need a 360 degree engraving.

[@chrishubby1838]

Can the F1 or F1 ultra engrave on gold plated stainless steel? I'm looking to engrave photos, such as portraits of people, on gold plated necklace pendants. Which would you recommend for this use case? Thank you in advance!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Both will work honestly. F1 will be much cheaper for you and for what you want. F1 Ultra will do the same but much much faster and be a little more flexible.

[@julieflynn4540]

where can you get the embossing stamp blanks?

[@astonmcleod5344]

is there software, that can take a photo into a laser design?????

[@EtchinAaronslaserworkshop]

Would love to test one of these out

[@lifeandloveabundance]

Hello Sir! Tell me your honest unbiased opinion.. F1 Ultra versus ... Monport 30W Fiber laser engraver ?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Of course: Price wise, you are getting a more powerful laser for the money with the Monoport. This means faster engraving times and more flexibility. If you can operate Lightburn, you will have a very capable laser. If you aren’t used to fiber lasers, there will be a learning curve (as with any laser really). With the F1 Ultra: the price you are paying for is the features. Not only you have a fiber, but a blue diode as well. This means you aren’t limited to a fibers use on metal and plastics. With 24/7 support, a ton of accessories and one click settings, the F1 ultra will be much easier to operate than other lasers. Does the jump in price make it worth it for the money? Look at WHAT you will be doing with it. I make money with all my lasers. Personally, I like the flexibility of the F1 Ultra more. But, your use case may be different than mine. Hope this helps, -Matt

[@deeppatkar6132]

Hye... Will you able to show... Make craft on Leaf 🌿.. ?? With the F1 ultra???

[@Benjamin_Skoda]

I just want to say that xtool creative space has the settings that you did

[@CorneliusCreations]

So for part of this video I was using an older beta software. Since then, they have updated to support with one click settings 😁

[@danaringgenberg9508]

How long did the tumbler take to engrave?

[@CorneliusCreations]

I think around 4 minutes. I could have definitely improved the look by playing around with the settings.

[@merrillalbury8214]

Need to add air assist

[@Jixell]

What about the laserpecker lp5? Its cheaper and almost exactly the same stats

4000+ euro, thats even way too much for just a side hustle. Wish you would do more woodcarving videos, those laser machines are not affortable for beginners 😀 thumbs up for the old woodcarving videos 👍

[@amishsteve]

Haven't purchased ANY laser yet. Complete noob. Looking to use for a side hustle.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Lasers are becoming crazy popular. Many people have quit their jobs because of starting “side hustles” with lasers 🤯

[@seamusmckenly4723]

@@CorneliusCreations Yes...thats true for what %? Facts are most never make it to the first table in the market. They end up with half done or failed work that costs a fortune just to get the machine settings right for you and your materials. I am in bed with Xtool but facts are facts.

[@allstarprintlab2675]

@seamusmckenly4723 id say to always run test. My buddy just got a f1. We ran 40 flask. Only 1 came out not perfect which was the test piece. I'm looking into the desktop one that you can add on a raiser along with conveyor. As a new are you saying it won't be worth it. I want to make gifts for some of my top clients like flask and tumblers. My core purpose would really be for applique. I'm coming from alot of plotter experience and dull blades. What are someof the cons you see in these machines so I can understand my capabilities. Again I'm not looking into wasting time and learning with a k40. I've heard some great stuff from people that know what their doing and I heard more horror stories. At the end of the day I'm running a decent business already, I'm valuing time more then price. But ofcourse I don't want to pay a fortune i think I'm ok around the 2k range

Kinda expensive...

[@niceguydmm]

Way to expensive for what it does. After owning 60w fibers and C02 galvo lasers I can say that thing is way to slow. As far as making money the market is to saturated now and that laser is to slow and not cable of the money jobs. Its a toy for at home at best.

[@seamusmckenly4723]

Thank you for the truth. These snake oilers are setting their customers up for failure from jump. I am a rep,. My K40 cuts literal circles around their flagship model at 1/3 the price. When they see what the waste to profit margin is to start most will give up. I will say that Xtool makes the prettiest machines and customer service is top of the triangle. I just wish all people that want to start a business to really see what the start up costs are. Its far more than just buying a machine and becoming the Elvis of lasers.

[@niceguydmm]

@@seamusmckenly4723 Yeah its not easy. I'm lucky and have no overhead and own everything. I did buy 6 lasers and took hours and hours of training on graphics. The internet and youtube are flashing cash at people making it look easy. Thats why you see 100's of laser for sale. I'm running 3 fiber lasers, two C02 galvos and a UV. If I had to a lot of expenses I could not keep doing it. Everyone see's this vidoe's and think you just plug it in and go. Not that easy. Xtool is a toy and makes it somewhat easy but that thing will never keep up with good machines and it price is nuts.,
