Extremely helpful! I'm waiting for my stool to come in!

[@WendigovanStudio]

There’s 2 little rubber rings in the small plastic box with the spare lenses. You need to put 1 of those onto the screw bit before attaching it to the lens. That way it will give the tension to hold it in the correct position and not move around. X

The white marks on the air tube are what you need to use to as a guide to put the tube in the channels on the rim of the frame. You had the tube backwards.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Yeah seems like I did but it works fine this way as well!

[@fabiolarichards4506]

You are 100% correct. Xtool NEEDS to just install it for us!!! I have tried and tried with both of the lens mounts don't end where I need them at all!

Very useful - when i can fimally afford one!

[@starlabunkley8483]

Hello, when hooking up the hose to the laser, it was difficult because you hooked up the wrong end. The end with the white tape was to go to the laser because it is measured correctly. Then you feed the path to the air assist. I did the same thing but stopped and read the directions before pushing the hose in the laser end. But you're video was helpful.

Hi! Thank you for sharing! I am having a problem. My lens base, nozzle base or whatever the name is (I’m frustrated with it now) no matter where I start, it always ends at the same point and is not even at 30 degrees where it is suppose to go. Can you share the link to where you found help with it? Also I noticed they changed that base. You and I have the same one, but I noticed that the people who got it right the first time have another one. Theirs does not have the silver plaque. I think that is where the problem is.

[@faithchrestman7409]

I am only able to get 1 screw out, my xtool did not come with a screw driver, only the air assist did.

[@faithchrestman7409]

I bought a ratcheting screw driver on amazon and it was a breeze to get the screw's out

[@brunajean-louis]

Ok, so what now?? Do I put the base back on the bottom? I intend to use the riser at some point to do tumblers, not sure what to do next? I wish you would have said something about the bottom that we remove at the beginning!

[@SilhouetteSchool]

When you're using the riser you do not put the base back on the machine. Here is the video for the riser setup kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKOUaIN3l95gl7M

[@janetcanter589]

At 9:10 you have the tube directed to the back of the machine but then a few seconds later at 9:20 the tubing is directed out the front. I installed as directed at 9:10 and now I can’t get it to move where you have it at 9:20. That part is not in your video. Please help.

[@angraphyhn]

Yes happens to me too, why this changed direction😢

[@shilohskyy]

This is because she has the hose installed backwards and in the wrong channels.

[@krisdesha8129]

The Tube needs to go backwards, and the lens has to be parallel and not wiggling.

[@shorn1014]

My tube keeps getting jammed in the back when my laser moves around

[@maryannewolter-pryke2450]

Me too! And I don't know what to do. Did you solve this issue and can you tell me how? Please?

[@lauramaas7490]

well I'm ready to cry. Can't get the screws out at the bottom. Got one, but the rest won't budge.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Hey there! I would reach out to customer service where you purchased your xTool from.

[@angiedonaghey388]

I had the same problem. Finally a friend came over to help. He brought his own screwdriver and it worked like magic. The one provided isn't sturdy enough or give you enough torque at the handle.

[@faithchrestman7409]

I can't get the screws out!! only the one in the front middle.

[@faithchrestman7409]

​@@angiedonaghey388 I am only able to get 1 screw out. the other 4 are like super glued on!
