The Crafting DREAM MACHINE: xTool M1 Ultra

[@leighanncreates]

I know there are endless possibilities with this, but which feature of the xTool M1 Ultra would you want to try first-laser cutting, die cutting, pen drawing, or printing-and what would you make first?!

[@mommybeth70]

I am gobsmacked! What an amazing machine.

[@TaciShiue]

Love this machine! I will try all! Will get one soon.😊

[@simplecreationsbyziya3850]

Thanks for this Great informative video. Can you pls help with where can i buy it here in India as the website says they don't deliver to India and many more countries

[@Fancylooks]

Such a great way to present this dream machine, so many ideas, excellent!

[@ChadsCustomCreations]

Incredible review and so many inspiring projects! I am impressed Leighann I am glad the algorithm sent you my way.

[@thepatsyfamily]

I need one of these xTools. So fun! Great tutorial too.

[@mtz3843]

great vid, cant wait to see more of what you do with wood, right now im between the xtool an wecreat.

[@Paperinparadise]

This was the best video!! So much better than other reviews because you actually showed it in use making things you needed!

[@abeerasohail4679]

Great way to review the machine.i would add that it's not just the tool but also the ingenuity of the user. I've seen many people document their use of this machine however no one could demonstrate the versatility you have shown!! Well-done. The display stands really add to the setup. Id use the inkjet function for puzzles first

[@JackieRB2008]

i have the xtool m1 i got it off Kickstarter and seeing this newer product is super cool and inspires me to use mine to make some awesome projects.

[@nuffypuffy]

I’ve been using the silhouette cameo 4 for close to 3 years now and the off cuts are very frustrating and I do want to cut wood and make other projects. I love it that you showed what products can be made for your market and it’s all I needed. You sold me when you made the signs. Thank you so much for making this awesome video! Will definitely get the M1 Ultra!

[@Feralfoundry]

Mam, say less! I love our laser cutter but that thing is blowing my mind! ❤❤❤

[@leighanncreates]

no, for real! I'm pretty sure it's one of a kind!

[@jewijk]

Nice machine, but even greater ideas you have shown. Thanks!

[@yiany]

That is one good looking machine.

[@leighanncreates]

Truly 🙌

[@PaperHugsByMaryLou]

Thank you for showing all the awesome things you made. I love how you matched your curtain to your laser!!! My fav was the pickles earrings! ♥Loved your display ~

[@leighanncreates]

@@PaperHugsByMaryLou 😂 I’m lucky that they made this in my favorite color! And thanks ☺️

[@Christina24life]

You’re so smooth (speak well on camera I mean) and talented

[@leighanncreates]

@@Christina24life thanks! More likely, I’ve been editing a while 😂

[@SuperChrissystar]

I just got mine and I am in the process of setting it up I can not wait to make my first project!

[@leighanncreates]

@@SuperChrissystar ooooh so exciting!!

[@SuperChrissystar]

@@leighanncreates yes although I accidentally engraved two little sasquatches onto my machine!! Live and learn right haha

[@kz.productions]

Pretty cool

[@ChantelleArts]

This looks Incredible ☺☺

[@willcookmakeup]

Plants for decor would make a huge difference and a rug

[@AureliaVel]

I brought my Dad with me to Michael's once and I'm sure they were advertising for a laser cutter, but can't remember which one. My DAD of all people was super excited about it and I have a silhouette so he's aware of cutters, but honestly if I had this machine I'd probably have to share it with him. Likely for wood cutting projects. I'd be more interested in the acrylic and making earrings though. What a dangerously, amazing machine.

[@paulameas6626]

Any chance you can do a tutorial how you cut the acrylic with XCS such as settings etc

[@mickb.8925]

Wow, this machine looks so awesome! Unfortunately I can't bring myself to buy something that expensive just for personal use, but a girl can dream. I'll just live vicariously through watching others doing cool stuff online.

[@ghilly_one1720]

very cool stuff. do you know how the prints applied via the heat press perform after a run through the washer/dryer?

[@agonzalez175]

this very quickly became my dream machine omg will be saving to purchase this ASAP

[@artwithleah]

So inspiring! Makes me want to get one of those 😊 I don’t think I could even pick one thing to make first 🤔😂

[@leighanncreates]

So many options, for sure 😂

[@me.in.berlin]

Amazing, inspiring, motivating and impressive. 👏🏻😃

[@cjanelle1]

wow this machine is great

[@hweight01]

Where did you get the table you have it sitting on? It is at the 0:40 mark. Great video.

[@matthewkoch4529]

Ok so if I may ask, you didn't have to make any of the wood before engraving or cutting them out? I've done this practice with our current glowforge machine and helped with image charity and avoided the burn lines around the edges and other fine line work. So has it had a difference for you?

[@sarahsworld-2240]

Amazing can u do a tutorial on that wheel with numbers that spin please was too fast for me looks really kool

[@shm-ing.5721]

Hello, with this machine can I make fold marks (without cutting) to make cardboard boxes?

[@SamAllaker]

Great video and advice. I'm obsessed with my M1 Ultra. I haven't figured out how to cut stickers and magnetic bookmarks accurately with it though yet (not using the inkjet module). Do you mind sharing how you did this?

[@rbny02]

cool video looks very fancy

[@Jamiesaurus_Art]

I want one so baaaaad lol. I need to find a place to live first, and then the space, and THEENNN maybe lol

[@PoczaMade]

I am curious about the in printing. It looks sorta fuzzy, not as crisp as a "regular" printer. I love how it looks on wood, but really want the bright, punchy colors for stickers. Thoughts? PLZ and THX!

[@leighanncreates]

@@PoczaMade I think there’s a few people on here that have some examples of it printing on sticker paper, but it’s good to know that it only has RGB ink, as opposed to RGB + Black like your normal at home printer. So quality wise, for what it is and what it can print on, I’m impressed. I would personally always choose my normal pigment ink printer for stickers I make and sell though

[@PoczaMade]

@@leighanncreates OK, that is what I landed on. Seems very cool, but that missing black ink is making me rethink it. Or buy a killer printer in addition. Thank you!

[@ChildhoodGems]

Excellent

[@sergeyzolotykh9872]

I am waiting for my machine to arrive. It will be nice if it can work with transparent acrylic, I hope the make module for it.

[@leighanncreates]

@@sergeyzolotykh9872 so exciting!!! Diode lasers can’t cut transparent acrylic, but it can engrave! Co2 lasers are best for transparent ☺️

[@psychotrout]

Damn you already made me buy the Canon Pro 300... now you show up with this, I almost bought a Cricut Maker 3 two days ago but it cuts very thin materials. I see this one is much better but by using the filter would you recommend it for a normal house studio room?

[@sametkocer3147]

Hi, can we use rotary tool with other modules.

[@markymaarty]

Hi Leighann. Can I use the M1 Ultra Craft Bundle at home? Do I still need to use a duct hose to vent fumes out of a window, or does the bundle include a filter that can handle the fumes without needing the duct hose?

[@mr.meeseeks54]

PLEASE!: Can someone tell me at 1:07 how this (magnetic?) Clips called? I cant find them in the offical Store, but this is exactly what I need.

[@judyracher4713]

I didn't get to see how well it prints on leather. Did you try this?

[@calypsoul_life]

gosh! when i first saw your video on the S1, i was intrigued and started pouring over the x tools site. now with this, i am on the fence. definitely going to purchase an x tool this week, but which one? do i future proof and get the S1 or jump in with the M1? 🤔🤔. what am i going to do with my cricut maker and all the knife and deep point blades i purchased two months ago?!? thanks for a great video! keep them coming👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾🥰😉

[@leighanncreates]

😄😊 decisions, decisions! I recommend reading through some Facebook groups about the xTool machines to get a good idea of what might be best for you!

[@calypsoul_life]

@@leighanncreates thanks...will do! my head is spinning with all the things that could complement my gel print artwork!

[@naamashur]

I would like to ask if it is better to buy these machine 4 in 1 or rather to buy separately machine

[@MichaelB-ry7hb]

Great video. Can i ask where you got your great stand for the m1 ultra?

[@SangramChavan1]

Can you dispense glue using xtool ?

[@kayleenicole426]

Do you seal the wood after you print on it?

[@jd6191729]

What would you recommend for acrylic?

[@angieespinoza4197]

Which bundle did you purchase?

[@asdfg49515]

Hello, I like your work very much. Can I ask you where I can start to do what you do? Can you recommend me sites that I can sell my stuff(t-shirts etc.)

[@leighanncreates]

Thanks! I got started on Etsy and because I didn't have any way to make my own products, I used Printify. So I just uploaded my design and it handled the products. That's the easiest, least stressful way to start since you're only making the designs and don't have to worry as much about finding people to buy your products since Etsy is a marketplace. From there, I just started making more art, posting about it on Instagram and TikTok, got a $50 Cricut and made my own stickers, and then I kept at it until it kept growing!

[@asdfg49515]

@@leighanncreates thank you

[@TiagoSantos-sy8bl]

Also draws in stone?

[@TheYoshie007]

When do you find the wood please??

[@VictoriaBraat-g5v]

How well does that desktop filter work? Especially with the leather? I have my m1 ultra in my room and I can’t stand using the laser.

[@leighanncreates]

@@VictoriaBraat-g5v I would say it had about the same results as filtering outside, so pretty good in my opinion! The downside is having to change the filters. I recommend searching in some of the xTool Facebook groups about it, or even just tips on sealing the hose and stopping leaks without it

[@VictoriaBraat-g5v]

@@leighanncreatesI just got the filter so we’ll see lmao maybe an air assist would help too

[@tanyad6179]

Does this engrave hockey pucks

[@bilalanjum8905]

Do you offer tuition sessions to become a crafter and small business owner? How much would these cost ? Individuals are doing the same kind of thing for drop shipping, etc. However, we want to design, manufacture, and sell our own products! We have a degree in BSc Product Design. 😊

[@brandyharris8729]

So if the laser can't see clear you painted black on the glass could you not just do that with clear acrylic and mirrored acrylic

[@leighanncreates]

@@brandyharris8729 that was my original thought too, but apparently there’s more to it. Some laser science that I don’t remember lol

You need to get a sowing machine to repair your jeans. They had big tares in the legs !

[@lifewithtayo5397]

Did you paint the outside or inside of the glass?

[@leighanncreates]

@@lifewithtayo5397 outside ☺️ then just washed it off with warm water

[@AhsokaYorha]

Hi 😊 How often (hours) do you use the xtool in One week?

[@leighanncreates]

@@AhsokaYorha it depends so much for me 😅 I’m more of a “do everything at once and then take a long break” type of person. Everything in this was about 1-2 weeks with maybe a total of a 15-20 hours? Honestly have no idea haha

Thank you , I asked this becouse I still have a lot of problem ... Mine (object) Don't look professional like your ...I have the machine before this , some time all its okay e sometime seems like I never used this machine ahahahahha😅😅😅r​@@leighanncreates

Did you just use a magnet to hold down your substrate?

If only the printer tools could include another tool for sublimation ink. I would have already bought this!

I love my M1 just wish they would communicate with me better so thats the only down fall is there lacking in customer service

[@bigdaddy111058]

You should answer the questions in the comments

[@pmg1180]

Nice but I’m still disappointing to see how small inside. Many of projects that we crafters uses are more than 12x12 paper size. And 11.5” will not do the justice. I wish that company have done it research a bit more better. Sigh!

[@en_coded]

Look at the price of that…

[@no-hx6li]

It gets pricey with the add ons, promise you get your money's worth and more. It does EVERYTHING

[@10418]

The company is in China and I’m on the other side of the world. What if the machines broke and I need assistance ? 🌝

[@leighanncreates]

@@10418 yeah, you do have to have patience when talking with customer service since they’re awake at different times than us haha

[@peejayheff4943]

Its not really that easy is it? You and others like you do the same thing! Make it out to be easy as pie...what about being left high and dry by xTool post sales when you get a machine that has problem after problem? But of course you get your "FREE" machine don't you unlike me forking out over £3300 pounds on two machines CHINESE ones at that! I am my own worst enemy...should buy BRITISH!

[@pennycandyys]

Oh no, it’s made in China? Well forget that then. I would not trust their software, everything is designed to benefit the ccp, via spying on you, or whatever. I’ve been watching videos posted by Chinese citizens for some time now, and things are deteriorating fast.
