I’ve always had help whenever needed! We even had a fan break on our 40w s1 & they sent me brand new $1,500 laser head no questions asked. After that experience I have no interest in any other laser brands other than Xtool. The only other laser I’d buy that isn’t Xtool is a large scale 36x48 but that’s only because they haven’t offered it yet!

Really hope they can keep upping the wattage for their fiber lineup! I love the form factor but 20W is still pretty low-end, especially for this price. 50W would make deep engraving jobs so much faster and open up much more cutting possibilities.

Had no idea you could do that type of relief on slate! 🤯 Is that using the fiber or blue diode? I just bought a 30w LaserMatic mk2, would love to be able to do something like those reliefs, even if not as deep
@justinbanks23803 ай бұрын
Would love to see a video or even just a short explanation of how you can get that type of effect on slate. I searched for some tutorials online, and all I found was engraving pictures on the surface (which is cool, yet not what you showed) perhaps I'm searching the wrong term? (Searched for making bas reliefs on slate with laser, and similar permutations)

They had to replace my xTool f1 machine as the infra red light disappeared after three weeks, unfortunately even the replaced machine also having the same problem. Upon my research what I found is should not buy dual lasers.

Yes it would do a better job, but so would the F1 (normal). Also something not discussed here is the fact there are no safety features that stop the laser when the case is open classifies this as a Class 4 laser.

@TheExtremeElementz3 ай бұрын
@@Adriel59 That would be pretty dope. If you’re not going for deep engraving like the example coins he showed off the F1 normal would do an excellent job at much less cost than the Ultra. But then again an S1 10w + IR Laser would be more versatile for almost the same cost. With the S1 you’d have to swap the laser module when wanting to use IR vs 10w and yes it wouldn’t print as fast considering it’s not a galvo BUT the option to do more larger projects later might be appealing. Choices… choices. Goodluck!

Interested to hear your take on the Ultra. Also, do you think its worth it for xTool to keep the F1 Prime when the Ultra Exists?
@makeorbreakshop3 ай бұрын
For the F1 Prime do you mean the original F1? If so, totally that form factor is perfect for smaller stuff and being portable. It would be nice if the could up the wattage on the fiber to at least 5W/10W though, not sure how that would impact the size.

@Pralix200020 күн бұрын
I have the F1 and like it. The Ultra is just too expensive for what it is. I can get a 50w MOPA integrated fiber laser from OMTech for around $2500 right now. I may lose some work area but power would be more important on what you can engrave. Even the LP5 is a bit cheaper.
@CaptCorpMURICA16 күн бұрын
The main benefit of the Ultra is the combination of fiber and diode in one machine. The MOPA fiber laser from OMTech is a great machine if you only need to engrave metal. Yes, the fiber isn’t as powerful, but it’s mostly the convenience of having both in a single package. It’s a Jack of all trades machine, so it does everything mediocrely.

There is a software toggle in XCS to turn on and off the shield safety. So if the shield is up it will turn the laser off.
