There's a new xTool laser engraver! But can they convince you to upgrade?

Fix your sound deadening panel next to the hummingbird lol

[@ltsdesign3d]

can you tell us something about the size? how deep is the whole thing? :)

[@HoffmanEngineering]

Unfortunately I can't give specifics yet. However, without the honeycomb panel there is a pretty decent depth, but not enough for the RA Pro rotary attachment. With the panel that is reduced quite a bit, but still adaquate. But you can always get the riser frame (needed for rotary attachment and conveyor) to get extra depth with the honeycomb panel.

Do you see yourself using the S1 more compared to the D1 pro? Is it worth the upgrade?

[@HoffmanEngineering]

For my specific setup, the S1 would definitely see more use than my D1 Pro simply due to the enclosure. I can have it in my office vented outside like my CO2 laser. For my D1 pro, I have to have it setup semi-outside for ventilation, which is far less convenient. They do sell an enclosure for the D1, but I haven't tried it. If money was no issue, then it is a pretty big leap compared to the D1 Pro (even the 40w version). However, xTool will unveal the pricing during their release livestream on the 18th. So we'll see pricing and be able to make that value judgement then.
